Answer:
PMT = $95,000
Rate = 4%
Life = 8 years
a. Amount to be deposited today
= PV(Rate, N, -PMT)
= PV(4%, 8, -95,000)
= $639,610.76
b. Amount in account after 3rd withdrawal
= PV(Rate, N, -PMT)
= PV(4%, 5, -95,000)
= $422,913.12
c. Balance in account after 8th withdrawal
= = PV(Rate, N, -PMT)
= PV(4%, 0, -95,000)
= $0
d. How much would you have at the end of 8 years?
= FV(4%, 8, -639610.76)
= $875,351.49
Bonds will be the least risky since there is no risk involved at all. Bonds give out guaranteed payments and A rated bonds will be even more secure.
The next would be property. Since property is a physical asset, the risk involved is relatively lower than stocks.
The next would be retirement plans which would typically have bonds and stocks.
The most risky would be speculative stocks.
The order from least risky to most risky would be:
1. A rated bonds
2. Property
3. Retirement plans
4. Speculative stocks
Answer:
Maximum price to be paid for the stock = $12.43
Explanation:
The Dividend Valuation Model is a technique used to value the worth of an asset. According to this model, the worth of an asset is the sum of the present values of its future cash flows discounted at the required rate of return.
<em>Hence the value of the stock would be the present value of its future dividend discounted at 15%</em>
Year PV of dividend
1 8 ×1.15^(-1)
2 4 × 1.15^(-2)
3. 2 × 1.15^(-3)
4 2 × 1.15^(-4)
PV of dividend = (8 ×1.15^-1) + (4 × 1.15^-2) + (2 × 1.15^ -3) + (2× 1.15^-4) = 12.439
Maximum price to be paid for the stock = $12.43
Answer:
PED = -1.4 or |1.4| in absolute values, price elastic
Explanation:
the price elasticity of demand (PED) using the midpoint method:
PED = % change in quantity / % change in price
- % change in quantity = {(Q
2 − Q1
) / [(Q2 + Q1)/2]} x 100 = {(200 − 300
) / [(200 + 300)/2]} x 100 = -100 / 250 = -0.4
- % change in price = {(P2 − P1
) / [(P2 + P1)/2]} x 100 = {(1 − 0.75
) / [(1 + 0.75)/2]} x 100 = 0.286
PED = -0.4 / 0.286 = -1.4 or |1.4| in absolute values
