Answer:

  • <u>Best Buy sells 560 iPods</u>
  • <u>Sears sells 70 iPods</u>

Explanation:

You may set a system of equations.

<u>1. Name the variables: </u>

  • B= <em>number of iPods</em> sold by <em>Best Buy</em>
  • S =<em> number of iPods</em> sold by <em>Sears</em>

<u>2. Translate every verbal statement into a mathematical expression</u>

a) <em>A local Best Buy sells 8 times as many iPods as Sears</em>.

  • B = 8S

b)  <em>The difference between their sales is 490 iPods</em>.

  • B - S = 490

<u>3. Solve the system of equations</u>

a) Substitute B = 8S into the second equation

  • 8S - S = 490

b) Add like terms

  • 7S = 490

c) Divide both sides by 7

  • S = 70

d) Substitue S = 70 into B = 8S

  • B = 8(70) = 560

<u>Solution:</u>

  • Best Buy sells 560 iPods
  • Sears sells 70 iPods

Suppose that you are the CFO of ABC Inc., which is an all-equity firm whose beta is 0.5. You are considering a new project that
neonofarm [45]

Answer:

The discount rate for this project is 5%.

Explanation:

The discount rate for the new project will be the required rate of return or the cost of equity that will be used to discount the cash flows from the project to calculate its Net present value. Using the CAPM, we can calculate the required rate of return (r) as:

r = rRF + beta * rpM

Where,

  • rRF is the risk free rate
  • beta is the stock's beta or measure of risk
  • rpM is the market risk premium

r = 2% + 0.5 * 6% = 0.05 or 5%

Suppose you inherited $275,000 and invested it at 8.25% per year. How much could you withdraw at the end of each of the next 20
navik [9.2K]

Answer:

withdraw amount  = 28532.45

so correct option is  a. $28,532

Explanation:

given data

present amount  = $275,000 bonus

interest rate = 8.25% per year  = 0.0825

time period = 20 year

solution

first we get here Cumulative discount factor that is

Cumulative discount factor = \frac{(1-(1+r)^{-t}}{r}   .........................1

here r is rate and t is time period

put here value and we will get

Cumulative discount factor = \frac{(1-(1+0.0825)^{-20}}{0.0825}    

solve it we get

Cumulative discount factor =  9.638148

and now we get  so here withdraw amount at the end of each of the next 20 years that is

withdraw amount = Present amount ÷ cumulative discount factor   ............2

put here value

withdraw amount = \frac{275000}{9.638148}    

solve it we get

withdraw amount  = 28532.45

so correct option is  a. $28,532
