Answer:
Winners
- The US Federal Government
- Joy
Losers
- Karen
- Herb
- 3rd National Bank
Explanation:
The US Federal Government is a Winner because Inflation in general has the effect of eroding the value of money. Generally interest rates account for this but when it is Unexpected Inflation they don't. The US government is a winner because the amount of debt they now have in real terms have decreased.
Joy is also a winner for the same reason as the US government.
Karen lost out as a result of this because her Fixed Pension does not change with inflation which means that when inflation rates go up unexpectedly she will be able to buy less goods and services.
Herb's money will lose real value as a result of inflation because like Karen, Herb will be able to buy less goods and services when inflation rises.
3rd National Bank will also lose out because they made loans that would not have accounted for Unexpected inflation. The real value that they will be owed will therefore be less and they will suffer 'real' losses.
It will take 8.04 years for the initial investment of $15000 to become $30,000
What is the future value of an investment?
The future value of $15,000 invested now earning a rate of return of 9% per year is $30,000, it the future equivalent of an amount invested now when the invested amount has earned interest over a specific period of time.
The below future value formula of single cash flow can be used to determine the number of years it takes for the initial investment to double.
FV=PV*(1+r)^N
FV=future value=$30,000
PV=initial investment=$15,000
r=rate of return=9%
N=number of years it takes for the initial investment to double=unknown(assume it is X)
$30,000=$15000*(1+9%)^N
$30000/$15000=(1+9%)^N
2=1.09^N
take log of both sides
ln(2)=N*ln(1.09)
N=ln(2)/ln(1.09)
N=8.04 years

Answer:
Cost of Equity = 11.30%
Explanation:
Computation Cost for Equity
Using Gordon Model
Market Price = [Dividend × (1 + Growth Rate )] / (Cost of Equity - Growth Rate)
41.08 = [$3.01 × (1 + 0.037)] / (Cost of Equity - 0.037)
41.08 = [$3.01 × (1.037)] / (Cost of Equity - 0.037)
Cost of Equity - 0.037 = $3.12 / 41.08
Cost of Equity - 0.037 = $0.076
Cost of Equity = 0.076 + 0.037
Cost of Equity = 0.1130
Cost of Equity = 11.30%
Answer:
