Answer:
The requirement of the question is as below:
How much must Alan deposit on January 1? (Round your final answer to the nearest whole dollar amount.)
What is the interest for the four years? (Round your final answer to the nearest whole dollar amount.)
Alan deposit on January 1 is $ 58,802.39
Interest for four years is $21,197.61
Explanation:
The first is asking for today's worth of the investment,which is the amount to be invested,this can be computed using the present value as shown below:
PV=FV*(1+r)^-n
PV is the present value
FV is the worth of the investment in 4 years from now which is $80,000
r is the rate of return of 8%
n is the number of years of investment which is 4 years
PV=$80,000*(1+8%)^-4
PV=$80,0008(1+0.08)^-4
PV=$80,000*(1.08)^-4
PV =$ 58,802.39
interest for four years=FV-PV
interest for four years=$80,000-$ 58,802.39
=$21,197.61
Answer:
Urgency / Postponement leads to customer inelastic demand of ice melt.
Explanation:
Elasticity of demand is responsive change in demand of good, due to change in price. Formula = % change in demand / % change in price
Factors Affecting Price Elasticity of Demand : Nature of commodity, Income, substitutes availability, time period, urgency / postponement, share in total expenditure,
Inelastic Demand is when demand responds proportionately less to price change. % change in demand < % change in price
Case 'Customer critically needs ice melt to drive to work' : This has inelastic demand i.e demand less respondent to price changes (he will buy that at high price too). Such because of the urgency of this demand & less scope of its postponement.

C. As more securities are added to a portfolio, total risk typically would be expected to fall at a decreasing rate.

Portfolio diversification gives more security to a portfolio, which expected to results in a decreasing rate of total risk.
The portfolio which is diversified carries the co-variance measure of risk. It has the property of reducing the risk as it diversifies the portfolio to a great extent.
It reduces the overall risk by diversifying the assets i.e. stock , bonds, commodities etc.
Hence, the most appropriate answer is option C.
Answer:
6.67 years
Explanation:
The number of years for the firm to reach the desired value of $1.2 million can determined using the nper formula in excel as below:
=nper(rate,pmt,pv,-fv)
rate is the interest rate earns by the fund at 10% per year
pmt is the addition to the fund in each year which is $50,000
pv is the current amount in the fund which is $400,000
fv is the desired value of $1.2 million
=nper(10%,50000,400000,-1200000)= 6.67 years
It would take 6.67 years for the sinking fund to reach the desired value of $1,200,000
