Answer:

C. 2.45

Explanation:

Pv of cash flow

1000x9%/(1+0.12)

= 90/1.12

= 80.36

Weight = 1

Weighted pv of cash flow = 80.36

Pv of cash flow

= 1000x9%/(1+0.12)²

= 90/1.2544

= 71.75

Weight = 2

Weighted pv of cash flow = 71.75x2

= 143.5

Pv of cash flow

= (1000+1000*9%)/(1+0.12)³

= 1090/1.404928

= 775.84

Weight = 3

Weighted pv of cash flow

= 775.84x3

= 2327.52

Total pv of cash flow = 80.36+71.75+775.84

= 927.95

Total weight of cash flow pv =

80.36+143.5+2327.52

= 2551.38

Duration = weighted pv/pv

= 2551.38/927.95

= 2.75

Modified duration =

Duration/1+0.12

= 2.75/1.12

= 2.45

Bess [88]

Answer:

0.0139

Explanation:

Given that:

The number of sample (n) = 21

The sample distribution has mean (μ) and a standard deviation of σ/√n

The z score is given as (x - mean)/ standard deviation

x = 94.8 wpm, let us assume that σ = 10 and μ = 90

Therefore: z = (x - μ) / (σ/√n) = (94.8 - 90) / (10/√21) = 2.2

To calculate the probability using Z table:

P(X>94.8) = P(Z>94.8) = 1 - P(Z<94.8) = 1 - 0.9861 = 0.0139

The probability is low that is less than 0.05, the program is more effective than the old one.

List at least 6 things your credit card company must clearly disclose to consumers.
never [62]

It is important to review the credit card disclosure for information on APRs, Penalties, Grace periods, Minimum financing charges, Calculation methodologies, and Fees.

An explanation of all the fees, charges, interest rates, and conditions that a consumer can encounter when using the credit card is contained in a credit card disclosure. The legislation requires disclosure of this information by organizations that provide credit cards. The disclosures on credit cards offer clear information about costs and charges. They also encourage rivalry. To allow consumers to evaluate credit cards more effectively, it is legally necessary of all credit card companies to give the same price information. They can pick the one that better serves their tastes in terms of price.

The interest rate that a client will pay on outstanding balances is the most obvious example of a cost listed on a credit card disclosure. Basic elements like the monthly payment deadlines will also be covered in the disclosure.
