Answer:

- 3.21%

Explanation:

In this question, we use the PV formula which is shown in the spreadsheet.  

The NPER represents the time period.

Given that,  

Future value = $1,000

PMT = 1,000 × 5% = 50

NPER = 34 years -  1 year =  33 year

Rate of interest = 9%

The formula is shown below:

= -PV(Rate;NPER;PMT;FV;type)

So, after solving this, the present value would be $581.42

Now the return would be

=  Sale price + interest - purchase price

= $581.42 + $50 - $652.39

= -$20.97

And, the total return would be

=  Return ÷ purchase price

=  -$20.97 ÷ $652.39

= - 3.21%

Identify the percent increase in total sales and the percent increase in sales of trench coats. Then find which percent of incre
geniusboy [140]

The percentage increase in the total sales for 2006 is 15% while the increase in sales of the trench coats is 23.3%; therefore the percentage increase in total sales of trench coats is 8.3% faster.

Computation:

1. The total amount of sales for 2006 and 2007:

\begin{aligned}\text{Sales of 2006}&=103+297+210+213+137\\&=960\end{aligned}

\begin{aligned}\text{Sales of 2007}&=127+223+210+285+259\\&=1104\end{aligned}

2. Now, the percentage increase will be determined for the total number of coats and trench coats:

For the total number of coats, the values used will be the total sales of 2006, and total sales of 2007.

\begin{aligned}\text{Percentage Increase}&=\dfrac{\text{Sales of 2007}-\text{Sales of 2006}}{\text{Sales of 2006}}\times100\\&=\dfrac{1104-960}{960}\times100\\&=15\%\end{aligned}

For the trench coats the values used will be the sale of trench coats in 2006 and 2007.

\begin{aligned}\text{Percentage Increase in Sale of Trench Coat}&=\dfrac{\text{Sales of 2007}-\text{Sales of 2006}}{\text{Sales of 2006}}\times100\\&=\dfrac{127-103}{103}\times100\\&=23.33\%\end{aligned}

3. Now, the  net percentage increase in sales due to the trench coats is computed as follows:

\begin{aligned}\text{Net Percentage Change}&=\text{\text{Percentage Increase in Trench Coat}-\text{Percentage Increase}}\\&=23.33\%-15\%\\&=8.3\%\end{aligned}

Therefore, the correct option is option B. Sales of trench coats increased 8. 3 percentage points faster than total coat sales.

Interest rates on 3-year Treasury securities are currently 1.92%, while 10-year Treasury securities yield 5.62%. If the pure exp
FromTheMoon [43]

Answer: 7.24%

Explanation:

From the question, we are told that:

3 years treasury securities have an interest rate = 1.92%

10 years treasury security has an interest rate = 5.62%

Let the 7 year treasury security interest in 3 years be represented by z.

Based on the expectation theory

( 1+1.92%)^3 × (1 + z%)^7 = (1 + 5.62%)^10

(1+0.0192)^3 × (1 + z%)^7 = (1 + 0.0562)^10

(1.0192)^3 (1 + z%)^7 = (1.0562)^10

1.05871(1 + z%)^7 = 1.72767

Divide both side by 1.05871

(1 + z%)^7 = 1.72767/1.05871

(1 + z%)^7= 1.6319

1 + z% = 1.6319^1/7

1 + z% = 1.6319^0.1429

1 + z% = 1.0724

z% = 1.0724 - 1

z% = 0.0724

We then convert the decimal to percentage

z = 7.24%

The market believes that 7-year Treasury securities will be yielding 7.24% in 3 years .
