Solution :

Given :

James needs $ 1,000,000 after 15 years.

His IRA deposit is $ 200,000 and is earning at the rate of 8% per annum.

Maturity value of $200,000 after 15 years = 2000000 \times( 1.08)^{15}

                                                                     = $ 634,434.

Balance fund needed after 15 years = 1,000,000 - 634,434

                                                           = $ 365,566

Therefore, the future value of the annuity is :

FV=A[\frac{(1+k)^n-1}{k}]

Here, FV = future annuity value = 365,566

            A = periodical investment

            k = interest rate = 8%

            n = period = 15 years

∴365566 = A\frac{[(1.08)^{15}-1]}{0.08}

       A = 13,464

Thus, James needs to save $ 13,464 each year end to reach his target.

You have two equal investments that always have exactly opposite returns. how will your total value of both investments vary ove
nlexa [21]
The correct answer is C. The total value of both investment after a given time will stay the same. Investments  involves putting up money or assets into use with an aim of generating and creating more income. Therefore in this case if one income is generating income while the other is generating losses, then the overall investment from the two investment remains the same.

"The company will pay a dividend of $15 per share 10 years from today and will increase the dividend by 5 percent per year there
statuscvo [17]

Answer:

Current Share price= $114.21

Explanation:

The Dividend Valuation Model is a technique adopted to detremine the value of an asset. According to this model, the value of an asset is the sum of the present values of the future cash flows that would arise from the asset discounted at the required rate of return (discount rate)

The model is premised on the concept of the time value of money. The idea that $1 today is not the same as $1 tomorrow. The $1 of today is worth more than that of tomorrow; because of the opportunity to earn interest. So to determine the worth of a future cash flow, we compute its worth today- its present value.

The Present Value of a future cash flow is the amount that needs to be invested today at a particular rate of return to equal the same cash flow in the future. Present value means the value in year 0 or now

The process of calculating the present value of a future sum is called discounting. So to calculate the current stock price in this question, we shall discount the future dividends using the required rate of return and then add them together.

So if an asset (e.g a stock) promises some cash flows in the future, those cash flows need to be brought to their present values and then be added to arrive at the value of the asset

In this question, the cash flows are the dividends as given and the rate of return (discount rate) is 15%

So we apply this model as follows:

Step 1 : PV of div from year 1 to 10  =  15× ((1-1.15)^(-10))/0.15)  =  75.282

Step 2:PV (in year 10)of div from year 11 onward=(15×1.05)/(0.15-0.05)=  157.5

Step 3:PV(in year 0) of div from year 11 onward =  157.5 × (1.15)^ (-10) =  38.93

Current Share price= $75.282 + $38.93 = $114.21

<em>Note:</em><em> step 3 is important because the the cash flows from year 11 onward were discounted to arrive at their values in year 10. Since we are interested in the current price i.e year 0 value, it is important that we re-discount again to bring them to their PV in year 0.</em>

Job specifications can be defined as: a. planned sequences of jobs through which employees may advance within an organization. b
Alona [7]

Answer:

Option d would be the correct approach.

Explanation:

  • The organized database of the important tasks required in carrying out a task that has been extrapolated from such a job description and used in job classification and assessment and personnel policies as well as positioning.
  • This usually includes tasks, intent, obligations, nature including employment conditions of a position including the description of the position, as well as the identity or description of the individual the input data to.

Many examples do not apply to the subject being discussed. So option d is indeed the right one.

A food manufacturer reports the following for two of its divisions for a recent year.
hram777 [196]

Answer:

1. 13.8% and 14.6%

2. 13.6% and 16.5%

3. 1.01 times and 0.88 times

Explanation:

The computations are shown below:

1. Return on investment = Operating Income ÷ Average invested Assets

where, average invested assets would be

= (Invested assets, beginning + Invested assets, ending) ÷ 2

For Beverage Division, it would be

= $366 ÷ {($2,696 + $2,610) ÷ 2}

= $366 ÷ $2,653

= 13.8%

For Cheese Division, it would be

= $651 ÷ {($4,489 + $4,417) ÷ 2}

= $651 ÷ $4,453

= 14.6%

2. Profit margin = (Operating income ÷ sales) × 100

For Beverage Division, it would be

= ($366 ÷ $2,698) × 100

= 13.6%

For Cheese Division, it would be

= ($651 ÷ $3,942) × 100

= 16.5%

3. Investment turnover = Sales ÷ Average Operating Assets

For Beverage Division, it would be

= $2,698 ÷ {($2,696 + $2,610) ÷ 2}

= $2,698 ÷ $2,653

= 1.01 times

For Cheese Division, it would be

= $3,942 ÷ {($4,489 + $4,417) ÷ 2}

= $3,942 ÷ $4,453

= 0.88 times
