Answer:

$1,534.372

Explanation:

The computation of the expected level of the index in one year is shown below:

= Current index level × 1 + expected rate of return on the market - expected future value of the dividend paid over the next year

= $1,433 × (1 + 8.4%) - $19

= $1,553.372 - $19

= $1,534.372

We simply applied the above formula so that the expected level of the index in one year could come

IRINA_888 [86]
<span>"a 3/1 ARM" means starting at a fixed interest rate for the first 3 years and the interest rate will adjust every year after the first three years  up to the part where it mentions a "3/9 cap". This on the other hand tells us that the increase will be 3% each time there is an interest rate increase and the max increase is 9%. Hence the answer is 9%</span>

On January 1, 2017, Whitefeather Industries issued 300, $1,000 face value bonds. The bonds have a five-year life and pay interes
Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

$15000

Explanation:

All types of bonds have some common characteristics which include;

- A face/par value

- A coupon rate (interest rate).

- Either redeemable/irredeemable or convertible.

The face value of one bond is $1000 so the total value of 300 bonds would be $300,000 (300×$1000). In this example these are redeemable bonds which means Whitefeather Industries would be liable to payback the capital amount of bonds after five years (maturity date).

The coupon rate (i.e interest) is charged on Par value. So the Interest can be calculated as $300,000×10% = $30,000 per year.

In this question interest is payable semi-annually, therefore The amount of interest that occurs on December 31, 2017 is $15000 (For the last six months - July 1st till Dec 31st; $30000×6÷12).

Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

E. 115 boxes.

Explanation:

d: 10 boxes/day

p: 36 boxes/day

n: 365 days

s: $60

H: $24 box/year

D: d*n

D= 10*365= 3650 boxes/year

EPQ = \sqrt{2DS/H} *\sqrt{p/p-d}

EPQ=\sqrt{2*365*60/24} *\sqrt{36/36-10}  

EPQ= 158.96 = 159 units

I=Q/P * (p-d)

I=159/36 * (36-10)

I=114.83

115 boxes aproximately
