Paul Springer plans to save for a down payment for a house in 10 years. He will be able to invest $12,000 today in a money marke

Bad White [126]

Answer:

The correct answer is $20,772.92.

Explanation:

According to the scenario, the given data are as follows:

Payment (pmt) = $12,000

Rate of interest = 5.50%

Rate of interest per month (r) = 5.50 / 12 months = 0.46%

Time = 10 years (n) = 120 months

So, the future value can be calculated by using following formula:

Future value = PMT ×(1+r)^n

= $12,000 × ( 1 + 0.46% )^120

= $20,772.92

Hence, the future value at the end of 10 years will be $20,772.92.

GaryK [48]

Answer:

E. Yes: The MIRR is 9.13 percent.

Explanation:

The First Step is to Calculate the Terminal Value at end of year 4.

Terminal Value (FV) = Sum of (PV x (1 + r) ^ 5 - n)

= $107,500 x (1.134) ^ 3 + $196,100 x (1.134) ^ 2 + $104,500 x (1.134) ^ 1 + -$92,700 x (1.134) ^ 0

= $156,764.47 + $252,175,97 + $118,503 - $92,700

= $434,743.44

The Next Step is to Calculate the MIRR using a Financial Calculator :

- $287,500 CFj

0 CFj

$434,743.44 CFj

Shift IRR/Yr 9.13%

Therefore, the MIRR is 9.13% .

During a recession, median income falls by 15%. if the demand for grapes falls by 12%, grapes are a(n) _____ good with an income

IgorLugansk [536]

Grapes are a(n) "normal good" with an income elasticity of demand of "0.8". A normal good is a good for which an increase in income results in increased demand, while decreased income results in decreased demand. Thus, we know that the first blank is "normal good" by the definition of a normal good becuase median income fell and demand for grapes fell. The X elasticity of demand is given by (%change in Demand)/(%change in X), where x is any economic variable (income in this case). Thus, to find the elasticity, we divide 12% by 15%. 12%/15%=.08.
