Answer & Explanation:
Modiglani's Life cycle Hypothesis depicts spending & consumption pattern of people, in order to stabilise / or smoothen their consumprtion. The theory has following phases :
- Early (Non Working) Age, Low Income stage : Borrowings are done, to cover up for lack of income that yields desirable stable consumption level.
- Youth, Earning (Working) Age : Savings are done, through surplus of income level over desirable stable consumption level.
- Old, Post retirement (Non working age) : Dissavings are done, funds from previous savings are used to cover for lack of income that yields desirable stable consumption level.
Implication rate for entire economy saving rate : It implies that economy's savings rate is high, if more population comprises of middle aged working population.
Answer:
they have 25 quarters and 19 nickels
Explanation:
let N = number of nickels
let Q = number of quarters
5N + 25Q = 720
N + Q = 44
N = 44 - Q (now we must replace)
5(44 - Q) + 25Q = 720
220 - 5Q + 25Q = 720
20Q = 720 - 220 = 500
Q = 500 / 20 = 25
N = 44 - 25 = 19
Answer:
$115.38
Explanation:
Since Nancy only has to pay 20% of her health insurance premium, her total biweekly deduction = $3,000 / 26 weeks = $115.38
Generally health insurance premiums are paid on a monthly basis, but lately some health care providers are starting to take quarterly, semiannual and even annual payments. The thing is that you always pay in advance, so generally people choose to pay it with their paychecks. It makes sense, since unless you earn a lot of money, a $3,000 payment would represent a large portion of your salary.
Answer: $143,000
Explanation:
Accrual Income for the year = Cash from clients + Closing receivable balance - Opening receivable balance - Salaries - (Utilities - Opening utilities owed + closing utilities owed) - Advertising
= 420,000 + 60,000 - 52,000 - 240,000 - (35,000 - 6,000 + 4,000) - 12,000
= $143,000
Answer:
a. Amount to invest in Y
The amount that will be invested in Stock Y should be such that the expected return of the portfolio would equal 12.1%.
This would be determined by the weights of the stock.
Assume the weight to be invested in X is x.
Portfolio return = (weight of X * Return of X) + (weight of Y * Return of Y)
12.1% = (x * 10.28%) + ( (1 - x) * 7.52%)
0.121 = 0.1028x + 0.0752 - 0.0752x
0.121 - 0.0752 = 0.1028x - 0.0752x
0.0458 = 0.0276x
x = 0.0458 / 0.0276
= 1.6594
Weight in stock Y:
= 1 - 1.6594
= -0.6594
Amount to invest in Y:
= -0.6594 * 100,000
= -$65,940
b. Portfolio beta
It will be a weighted average of the betas of the two stocks:
= (Weight of stock X * Stock X Beta) + ( Weight of stock Y * Stock Y beta)
= (1.6594 * 1.20) + (-0.6594 * 0.80)
= 1.46
