Answer:

W = $27.34

Explanation:

Given data:

Percentage Decline in average income is = 2%

CPI in 1990 1.30

CPI in 2000 is 1.69

Average nominal wage is 2000 is $35

Inflation rate is given as

Inflation rate = % Change in CPI

                    = (1.69 / 1.3) - 1

                    = 1.3 - 1 = 0.3 = 30%

Real wage = Nominal wage / Price level,  hence

Percentage change in real wage = % Change in (nominal wage - inflation rate)

-2% = % Change in nominal wage - 30%

% Change in nominal wage = 28%

let nominal wage in 1990 is w

W\times 1.28% = $35

solving for W = $27.34

According to the Capital Asset Pricing Model, investors are primarily concerned with portfolio risk, not the risks of individual
Paha777 [63]

Answer:

A) True

Explanation:

The purpose of creating a portfolio is to diversify investment and achieve risk reduction as famously conveyed by the proverb, "do not put all the eggs in a single basket".

The Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) was developed by William Sharpe and John Lintner. The model explains the relationship between expected return of an investor and the investment risk.

Return earned by a portfolio is the weighted average return of the individual stock returns.

CAPM helps calculate expected return of an investor by the following formula:

Return = R_{f} \ + B(R_{m}\ -\ R_{f}  )

wherein, R_{f} = Risk free rate of return yielded by treasury bonds

              B = Beta, which is a coefficient which conveys the degree of responsiveness of security return in relation to the market return.

             R_{m}= Return which can be earned on market portfolio

Thus, the relevant risk with respect to a portfolio refers to an individual stock's share of contribution to the portfolio risk.

Slim made a single deposit of $5,000 in an account that pays 7.2% in 2015. What equal-sized annual withdrawals can Slim make fro
evablogger [386]

Answer:

annual withdrawals is  $1,393.87

Explanation:

given data

Amount Deposited = $5,000

Annual Interest Rate = 7.2%

First withdrawal =  2020

last withdrawal = 2025

solution

we consider equal sized annual withdrawals = x

so we can say that Amount Deposited amount will be as

$5,000 = \frac{x}{(1+0.72)^5} + \frac{x}{(1+0.72)^6} + \frac{x}{(1+0.72)^7} + \frac{x}{(1+0.72)^8} + \frac{x}{(1+0.72)^9} + \frac{x}{(1+0.72)^{10}}       ..........1

we take common here \frac{x}{(1+0.72)^{4}}

so

$5,000 = \frac{x}{(1+0.72)^{4}} \times ( \frac{1}{(1+0.72)^1} + \frac{1}{(1+0.72)^2} + \frac{1}{(1+0.72)^3} + \frac{1}{(1+0.72)^4} + \frac{1}{(1+0.72)^5} + \frac{1}{(1+0.72)^{6}} )      

solve it we get

x = $1,393.87  

so that annual withdrawals is  $1,393.87
