Answer:

Today, the investment is worth $31,997.29

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

An investment offers $5,900 per year for 15 years, with the first payment occurring one year from now. The required return is 6 percent

First, we need to calculate the final value, using the following formula:

FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i

A= annual pay= 5,900

n= 15

i= 0.06

FV= {5,900*[(1.06^15)-1]} / 0.06= $137,328.22

Now, we can determine the present value:

PV= FV/ (1+i)^n

PV= 137,328.22/ 1.06^25= $31,997.29

Which recommendation would be most suitable for a 40-year old client whose main objective is retirement income and preservation
melisa1 [442]

Answer:

Fixed deferred annuity

Explanation:

Fixed deferred annuity is a form of saving investment where interest is paid on the invested amount at a rate set by the investment company and defined in the contract , and the interest can be deferred into the future till a withdrawal is made from the annuity contract.

Taxes are not paid but deferred until withdrawal which allows the opportunity to  control when to pay taxes , a good investment sense for long term investment.

This makes it a good investment for a risk adverse investor who will not require investment income until later years but its main goal is retirement income and preservation of capital.

Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer: describe the bottom line of the policy changes at the beginning of the memo

Explanation:

The options to the question are:

a. describe the bottom line of the policy changes at the beginning of the memo.

b. include an apology at the end of the memo stating the inconveniences that could be caused due to the new policy.

c. present the rationale for the new policies at the memo's beginning.

d. highlight controversial issues, which could arise after the new policies have been implemented, in the memo.

From the question, we are informed that Rubina is the director of procurement at Baines Corporation and that she plans to send a memo to the employees in her department outlining some changes in the company's personnel policies as she believes that most of the employees will view the changes favorably.

Since she is of the opinion that most of the employees will view the changes favorably, she can describe the bottom line of the policy changes at the beginning of the memo. This is because she believes the memo will get a favourable audience. In a situation whereby she is not sure if it will be favourable, in the begining of the memo, she may have to offer and apology and tell them the rationale behind the memo before going into further details.

Lump-sum taxes are rarely used in the real world because:_______________
labwork [276]

Answer:

c. lump-sum taxes are often viewed as unfair because they take the same amount of money from both poor and rich.

Explanation:

To understand this question, you have to first understand what lump-sum taxes are.

Lump-sum taxes are a system of taxes where everybody pays the same amount of tax no matter their economic status, or their actions. Basically, lump-sum taxes take the same amount of money from the rich and the poor, hugely increasing the burden on the poor and lessening that of the rich.

As an example, a lump-sum tax of $100 would require everybody to pay $100. To a person earning, say $120, that would be a huge hit, and be a huge burden on his normal life. However, to a rich person who earns, say, $10000, that would be much more easier for the rich person.

Hence, lump-sum taxes are often viewed as unfair because of the unfair advantage the rich have over the poor in tax-paying.
