Answer:

real interest rate = -3.08%

Explanation:

real interest rate = nominal rate - inflation rate

  • nominal interest rate = [($562/$509) - 1] x 100 = 10.41%
  • inflation rate = [(143/126) - 1] x 100 = 13.49%

real interest rate = 10.41% - 13.49% = -3.08%

since the real interest rate is negative, the investor actually lost money in real dollars. This means that the amount of goods that the investor could purchase before making the investment is higher than the amount of goods he/she will be able to buy after the investment.

MrRa [10]

Answer:

$23900

Explanation:

Given: Cumulative Preferred stock is 5900 shares of 6% at $50.

           Dividend paid in 2019= $11500

First lets calculate the value of preferred stock.

Preferred stock= 5900 shares\times \$ 50\times \frac{6}{100}

∴ Preferred stock= $17700.

Formula:

Dividend received by preferred stockholder= [Preferred\ stock +(Preferred\ stock-Dividend\ paid)]

⇒Dividend received by preferred stockholder=17700+(17700-11500)

⇒ Dividend received by preferred stockholder= 17700+6200= \$ 23900

∴ $23900 dividend received by preferred stockholder in 2020.

liq [111]

Answer:

$5,000

Explanation:

However, if the start-up costs were more than $50,000, the deduction would be decreased by the dollar amount.

RoseWind [281]

Answer:

Fran should choose that which compounds quarterly

Explanation:

In Compound Interest investment, the interest at the end of the compounding period is added to form a new base capital.

If this is done every 3 months, the principal at the beginning of each quarter increases while in annual compounding, the interest is added at the end of the year.

Generally, for investment, the more frequent is it compounded the better. On the other hand, less frequent compounding is preferred for borrowers.
