There are only three stocks in the economy. Stock A has 20 shares outstanding and a price per share of $10. Stock B has 15 share
gregori [183]

Answer:

Market value of stock A = 20 shares x $10 = $200

Market value of stock B = 15 shares x $3   = $45

Market value of stock C = 10 shares x $5   = $50

Total market value                                          $295

Amount to invest in stock A

= $200/$295 x $5,000

= $3,389.83

Explanation:

In this case, we will calculate the market value of each stock by multiplying the number of each stock by their corresponding market prices.

Thereafter, we will divide the market value of stock A by the total market value multiplied by amount available for investment ($5,000).

[($2,540,000 - $500,000 preferred dividends) ÷ 200,000]

Extraordinary loss (4.50)

($900,000 ÷200,000 shares)

You just deposited $2,500 in a bank account that pays a 4.0% nominal interest rate, compounded quarterly. If you also add anothe
choli [55]

Answer:

The value of the investment would be $16,035.87 in 12 quarters from now

Explanation:

The value of $2,500 after four quarters can be determined with the below formula:

FV=PV*(1+r/t)^N*t

FV is the future value of the investment, the unknown

PV, the present value of the investment is the amount invested.

r is the rate of return of 4%

t is the number of times interest is paid annually,4 times in this case

After the first four quarters, the worth of the investment is shown thus:

FV=$2500*(1+4%/4)^1*4

FV=$2500*(1+1%)^4

FV=$2,601.51

After that $5000 was added to $2,601.51 making $7,601.51 which was reinvested to yield the below:

FV=$7,601.51*(1+ in 4%/4)^1*4

FV=$7,601.51*(1+1%)^4

FV=$7910.16

Then $7,500  was added to $7,910.16 which turns $15,410.16

FV=$15,410.16*(1+4%/4)^1*4

FV=$15,410.16*(1+1%)^4

FV=$16,035.87
