In dermining how much life insurance coverage is needed for an individual , you have to consider first, to determine annual income needs of your family if you were to die today. Because you have to consider any lifestyle changes that might happen after te death and include current expenses such as mortgage, rent, groceries, clothing, utility bills, entainment, travel, transportation and child care. Next, you have to subtract available income from annual income needs. Then, determine the principal needed to generate income to be replaced (annual income to be replaced) devided by (rate of return) = amount of principal needed. Next, Add one-time expenses of your survivors will have to pay including funeral expenses. Lastly you have to subtract one-time gains such as the total amount of money or profit that is made from other life insurance policies, assets from selling a business or other payouts.

Sue plans to mix peppermints worth $1.20 per lb with chocolates worth $2.40 per lb to get a 40 lb mix that is worth $1.65 per lb

Lunna [17]

Answer:

Each should be used as follows:

Weight of peppermints = X = 25 lb

Weight of Chocolates = Y = 15 lb

Explanation:

Suppose

Weight of peppermints = X

Weight of Chocolates = Y

So According to given condition

X + Y = 40 (Eq. 1)

1.2X + 2.4Y = 1.65*40

1.2X + 2.4Y = 66 (Eq. 2)

By multiplying (Eq. 1) with 1.2 we get

1.2X + 1.2Y = 48 (Eq. 3)

Now by subtracting (Eq. 2) from (Eq. 3)

(1.2X + 1.2Y) - (1.2X + 2.4Y) = 48 - 66

1.2X + 1.2Y - 1.2X - 2.4Y = -18

1.2X - 1.2X + 1.2Y - 2.4Y = -18 (Rearrange)

-1.2Y = -18

1.2Y = 18

Y = 18/1.2

Y = 15

By placing value of Y in (Eq. 1)

X + 15 = 40

X = 40 - 15

X = 25

Check

1.2X + 2.4Y = 66

1.2 (25) + 2.4 (15) = 66

66 = 66

Bond Valuation and Changes in Maturity and Required Returns Suppose Hillard Manufacturing sold an issue of bonds with a 10-year

g100num [7]

Answer:

It will be sold at $1,186.71

Explanation:

We will calculate the present value of the cuopon payment and the maturity at the new market rate of 7%

The coupon payment will be calcualte as the PV of ordinary annuity

$C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\$

C $50 (1,000 x 10%/2 as there are 2 payment per year)

time 16 (8 years x 2 payment per year)

rate 0.035 (7% rate / 2 payment per year)

$50 \times \frac{1-(1+0.035)^{-16} }{0.035} = PV\\$

PV $604.7058

The maturity will be calculate as the PV of a lump sum

$\frac{Maturity}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV$

Maturity 1,000.00

time 8 years

rate 0.07

$\frac{1000}{(1 + 0.07)^{8} } = PV$

PV 582.01

The market price will be the sum of both:

PV cuopon $604.7058

PV maturity $582.0091

Total $1,186.7149
