Thus
= 312 - 525
= -$213 billion

NOTE that merchandise refers to produced GOODS, goods sold and bought. Thus, services and other things are not included in the calculation.
Answer:
I will save $26,390
Explanation:
A fix Payment for a specified period of time is called annuity. The Compounding of these payment on a specified rate is known as Future value of annuity. In this question $1,175 per year payment for 15 years at 5.53% interest rate is also an annuity.
We can calculate the amount of saving by calculating the future value of the given annuity.
Formula for Future value of annuity is as follow
Future value of annuity = FV = P x ( [ 1 + r ]^n - 1 ) / r
Where
P = Annual payment = $1,175
r = rate of return = 5.53%
n = number of years = 15 years
Placing Value in the formula
Future value of annuity = FV = 1,175 x ( [ 1 + 5.53% ]^15 - 1 ) / 5.53%
Future value of annuity = FV = 1,175 x ( [ 1 + 0.0553 ]^15 - 1 ) / 0.0553
Future value of annuity = FV = $26,390
Answer:
2.5%
Explanation:
Calculation for what is the alpha of the stock
Using this formula
Alpha of the stock= Realized Return - (Market Return *Beta)
Let plug in the formula
Alpha of the stock= 10% - (6% * 1.25)
Alpha of the stock= 0.10 - (0.06 * 1.25)
Alpha of the stock= 0.10 - 0.075
Alpha of the stock= 0.025 *100
Alpha of the stock=2.5%
Therefore the alpha of the stock will be 2.5%
