Chris has three options for settling an insurance claim. Option A will provide $1,500 a month for 6 years. Option B will pay $1,

Papessa [141]

Answer:

Option B. $1,025 a month for 10 years.

Explanation:

Calculate the present value of each option:

$\text{Monthly rate: } 6.8\%/12 = 0.068/12 = 0.005\overline 6$

Formula:

$PV=C\times \bigg[\dfrac{1}{r}-\dfrac{1}{r(1+r)^t}\bigg]$

Where:

PV is the present value of the constant monthly payments
r is the monthly rate
t is the number of moths

1. Option A will provide $1,500 a month for 6 years.

$PV=$\ 1,500\times \bigg[\dfrac{1}{(0.005\overline 6}-\dfrac{1}{0.005\overline 6(1+0.005\overline 6)^{(6\times12)}}\bigg]$

$PV=\$ 88,479.23$

2. Option B will pay $1,025 a month for 10 years. 

$PV=$\ 1,025\times \bigg[\dfrac{1}{(0.005\overline 6}-\dfrac{1}{0.005\overline 6(1+0.005\overline 6)^{(10\times12)}}\bigg]$

$PV=\$ 89,068.22$

3. Option C offers $85,000 as a lump sum payment today.

PV = $85,000

<h2 /><h2> Conclusion:</h2>

The present value of the option B, $1,025 a month for 10 years, has a the greatest present value, thus since he is only concerned with the financial aspects of the offier, this is the one he should select.

What are the portfolio weights for a portfolio that has 130 shares of Stock A that sell for $40 per share and 110 shares of Stoc

Eva8 [605]

Answer:portfolio Weight of A =0.6118; portfolio Weight of B=0.3882

Explanation:

stock A Investment = Number of shares x market value

=130 x 40 = $5200

stock B investment =Number of shares x market value

110 x 30 = $3,300

Total Investments= $5200 + $3,300 = $8,500

portfolio Weight = stock Investment / Total investment

portfolio Weight of A= 5200/ 8,500 =0.6118

portfolio Weight of B = 3,300 / 8,500 =0.3882
