Answer:
$112,807
Explanation:
To calculate the amount of money you borrowed, you have to use the formula to calculate the present value:
PV=FV/(1+r)^n
PV= pressent value
FV= future value= 647,514
r= rate= 6%
n= number of periods of time= 30
PV=647,514/(1+0.06)^30
PV=647,514/(1.06)^30
PV=647,514/5.74
PV=112,807
According to this, you originally borrowed $112,807 for this house.
Answer: 14.84%
Explanation:
To calculate the rate of return the investors received we will do a simple return formula to find out by how much, in terms of the Opening NAV, the fund has increased.
To find out how much the fund has increased by we can add up all the figures then deduct the opening balance.
= 39.71 + 0.64 + 1.13 - 36.12
= $5.36
$5.36 is the how much the fund has increased by.
Expressing it in percentage of the opening NAV per share we have,
= 5.36/36.12
= 0.14839424141
= 14.84%
14.84% is the rate of return that an investor received on the Yachtsman Fund in 2016.
Answer:
$10,730
Explanation:
1. Patent: $92,000/15 years = $6,133
$6,133 × 3/12 = $1,533
2.Goodwill: $552,000/15 years= $36,800
$36,800 × 3/12 = $9,200
Total: $1,533 + $9,200= $10,733
Approximately $10,730
Answer:
C. All else being equal, the growth rate of the dividends is greater than 2%
Explanation:
The formula to calculate the fair price of a stock with a constant growth in dividends is as follows,
- P = D1 / r-g
- Where D1 is the dividend next period
- r is the required rate of return
- g is the growth rate in dividends
- P = 1.5 / 0.1 - 0.02 = 18.75
- We are taking 1.5 as D1 as it is the dividend per share DeepMind will pay next year.
So, we will be willing to pay more than 18.75 if the fair price per share today is greater than 18.75. We check all the 3 options.
A. say the required rate is 10.1%
- P = 1.5 / (0.101 - 0.02) = 18.52
- So if the required rate of return increases from 10%, the fair price per share is falling and we will be willing to pay less than 18.75 per share.
B. P = 1.2 / (0.1 - 0.02) = 15
- If D1 = 1.2,the fair price per share will be 15 which is less so we will not be willing to pay more than 15 for such share.
C. Say the growth rate in dividends is 2.1%
- P = 1.5 / (0.1 - 0.021) = 18.99
- The fair price per share increased to 18.99 if the growth rate in dividend increases by 0.1 percentage point. Thus, C is the correct answer
