Answer:

$8,750

Explanation:

ASSETS = LIABILITIES + PAID IN CAPITAL + RETAINED EARNINGS

beginning of the year:

$11,400 = $5,700 + paid in capital + retained earnings

paid in capital + beginning retained earnings = $5,700

end of the year:

$6,150 = $4,500 + paid in capital + retained earnings

paid in capital + ending retained earnings = $1,650

ending retained earnings = beginning retained earnings + net income - dividends = beginning retained earnings + $3,050 - dividends

paid in capital + beginning retained earnings - $5,700 = 0

paid in capital + beginning retained earnings + $3,050 - dividends - $1,650 = 0

let X = paid in capital

let Y =beginning retained earnings

X + Y - $5,700 = X + Y + $3,050 - dividends

we eliminate X and Y

-$5,700 = $3,050 - dividends

dividends = $5,700 + $3,050 = $8,750

snow_tiger [21]

Answer:

Safety Needs

Explanation:

If Helène, an industrial sales representative, bought a cellular phone to use if she ever had car trouble while traveling between appointments. The level of Maslow’s need hierarchy that Helène is addressing is Safety Needs

It would have been 'Esteem needs' if Helene was just buying a phone to be in the same class with her friends or she is changing her phone to reflect her class.

However Helene is buying this phone because she wants to keep appointments which falls in the category of employments and hence is a 'Safety need'.

Safety needs in Maslow's hierarchy has to do with the need for security and protection. If Helene's car breaks down, it could also be a threat to her security if she is unable to call for help

Given the following information, determine the beta coefficient for Stock L that is consistent with equilibrium: = 9.25%; rRF =

Ainat [17]

Answer:

The beta coefficient for Stock L that is consistent with equilibrium

Explanation:

According to Capital Asset Pricing Model, the formula to compute expected rate of return is equals to

Expected rate of return = Risk free rate of return + Beta × (Market risk - risk free rate of return)

where,

rRF = risk free rate of return

rM = market risk

Stock L that is consistent with equilibrium is expected rate of return which equals to = 9.25%

So,

9.25% = 3.6% + Beta × (8.5% - 3.6%)

9.25% = 3.6% + 4.9% Beta

9.25% - 3.6% = 4.9% Beta

5.65% = 4.9% Beta

Beta = 5.65% ÷ 4.9% = 1.15

Hence, the beta coefficient for Stock L that is consistent with equilibrium is 1.15

Your parents will retire in 29 years. They currently have $200,000 saved, and they think they will need $2,400,000 at retirement

zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

8.95%

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Time, n = 29 years

Principle amount = $200,000

Future value = $2,400,000

Now,

Using the compounding formula

Future value = Principle × [ 1 + r ]ⁿ

here,

r is the interest rate

Thus,

$2,400,000 = $200,000 × [ 1 + r ]²⁹

or

[ 1 + r ]²⁹ = 12

taking the natural log both the sides, we have

29 × ln(1 + r) = ln(12)

or

ln(1 + r) = 0.08569

or

1 + r = $e^{0.08569}$

or

1 + r = 1.0895

or

r = 0.0895

or

r = 0.0895 × 100% = 8.95%

David’s friend, Keanu, has hired a financial planner for advice on retirement. Considering Keanu’s current expenses and expected

tatiyna

Answer:

28.85

Explanation

Keanu has decided to save a fixed amount of 70,000 for a given period. We would need to calculate the number of years to achieve 7,796,223 using the FVIFA formula (Future value interest for an annuity)

Fixed payment× FVIFA=Future value

<em>FVIFA</em> = $\frac{(1+r)^{n} - 1}{r}$

where r is the periodic rate (9%)

and n is the number of periods

therefore; 70000× $\frac{(1+0.09)^{n} - 1}{0.09}$ =7796223

${(1+0.09)^{n} }$ =(7796223×0.09)/70000

n=27.85

However, since Keanu will not invest until the end of the first year, he will spend 28.85 years to achieve his goal
