Incomplete question. The full question read;

Max and Veronica Shuman, along with their teenage sons, Terry and Thomas, live in Portland, Oregon. Max is a sales rep for a major medical firm, and Veronica is a personnel officer at a local bank. Together they earn an annual income of around $100,000. Max has just learned that his recently departed rich uncle has named him in his will to the tune of some $250,000 after taxes. Needless to say, the family is elated. Max intends to spend $50,000 of his inheritance on a number of long-overdue family items (like some badly needed remodeling of their kitchen and family room, the down payment on a new Porsche Boxster, and braces to correct Tom’s overbite). Max wants to invest the remaining $200,000 in various types of fixed-income securities.

Max and Veronica have no unusual income requirements or health problems. Their only investment objectives are that they want to achieve some capital appreciation, and they want to keep their funds fully invested for at least 20 years. They would rather not have to rely on their investments as a source of current income but want to maintain some liquidity in their portfolio just in case.

Describe the type of bond investment program you think the Shuman family should follow. In answering this question, give appropriate consideration to both return and risk factors.

Answer:

<u>U.S. Treasury issued Bond</u>

Explanation:

Interestingly, the U.S Treasury issued bonds have a maturity period of 20 years or 30 years. This is the right type of investment the Shuman family should follow since we are told, they <em>"want to keep their funds fully invested for at least 20 years."</em>

Also, U.S Treasury issued bonds usually pay interest every six months giving them the opportunity "to maintain some liquidity in their portfolio".

<u>Since this is a government-issued bond the risk of falling to fraud is lesser making it an ideal option for the Shuman family.</u>

Which of the following is not true about the law of diminishing returns? It is a short run phenomenon. It refers to diminishing
Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

All of the above are true.

Explanation:

The law of diminishing returns was first formulated by the classic economist David Ricardo. It presupposes a technical relationship between input and output, which is not scientifically demonstrable but only empirically. In practice, in a generic production system, at any contribution of any factor, that is, land, labor, capital, machines, etc. there is no proportionally increasing production increase.  

Normally it is assumed that the law does not always come into operation but only when the variable input exceeds a certain threshold. For example, the increase of workers on an assembly line certainly allows a proportional increase in production, but only until the entire system begins to suffer from malfunctions due to logistics or work organization, precisely because of the its getting bigger. Large industrial plants have shown that they must be divided into sections, however coordinated, precisely because of the decreasing returns. This is because the increase in the number of workers and the mass of the plants does not correspond to a consequent increase in production.

A stock sells for $6.99 on December 31, providing the seller with a 6% annual return. What was the price of the stock at the beg
Dimas [21]

Answer:

Correct option is 6.59

Explanation:

Selling price of stock at the end of the year is $6.99. Annual return rate is 6%. Price of stock at the beginning will be present value of stock valued at the end discounted at 6%. Computation is as shown below:

Present\ value\ or\ price\ of\ stock = Selling\ price\left ( \frac{1}{1+i} \right )^{n}

= 6.99\left ( \frac{1}{1+0.06} \right )^{1}

= \frac{6.99}{1.06}

= $6.59

Therefore, Stock's price in the beginning of the year is $6.59.

Heavy Metal Corporation is expected to generate the following free cash flows over the next five years.
mezya [45]

Answer:

Enterprise value of Heavy Metal= $1,080.766

Share price =  $18.945 per unit

Explanation:

<em>The value of a firm is the present value of the free cash flow discounted at the weighted average  cost of capital</em>

Year                                          PV

1        52.1 × 1.14^(-1)      = 45.70175439

2        68.6 × 1.14^(-2)  = 52.40073869

3          78.6 × 1.14^(-3) = 53.05276117

4         74.4×  1.14^(-4) = 44.05077264

5          81.1 ×  1.14^(-5) = 42.12079868

Year  and beyond

  81.1 × 1.04/(0.14-0.04) = 843.44

Total value =   45.70+ 52.40+53.052 + 44.050 +42.120+  843.44 = 1080.766826

Enterprise value of Heavy Metal= $1,080.766

Share price = Total value - Debt value / number of shares

=  (1,080.766  - 304 )/ 41 million units= $18.945 per unit

Share price =  $18.945 per unit
