Part A

Answer and its explanation:

Interest earned in the third year can be found from following two steps

Step 1 Use compounding formula for first two years, which is as under:

Future value = Present Value * (1+r)^n

Here n is the number of years the amount would be deposited for, which is 2 years duration. And r is the rate of return which is 8% here. So the future value in the year 2 will be:

Future value = $1000 * (1 + 0.08)^2 = $1166.4

Now the interest earned in the third year is:

Interest earned in the third year = $1166.4 * 8% = $93.312

Part B

Answer and its explanation:

The simple interest is the interest arising from the principal investment made in the year zero to date and this can be calculated as under:

Simple interest = Principal investment * rate of interest * number of years

Simple Interest = $1000 * 8% * 3years = $240

And the interest arising from the compounding of interest can be found by the difference of the Future value of the investment for three years and simple interest.

So,

Interest arising through compounding of interest = FV of investment in three years time - (Simple Interest + Principal investment)

Interest arising through compounding of interest = $1000*(1+0.08)^3 -$1240

= $19.712

Christie, a marketing executive who was born in 1955, advocated that her company focus on a print campaign for its new line of l

Gemiola [76]

Answer:

The correct answer is the option C: Baby Boomer.

Explanation:

To begin with, the term<em> ''baby boomer''</em> refers to the demographic cohort regarding the generation of people born in the period called ''baby boom'', that occured in some was after the Second World War and comprehends the years between 1946 until 1964. Moreover, the main characteristic of this period was that around 76 million babies were born in America and that an excessive consumerism began to spread.

To continue, the action that Christie advocates is very common to a person of the baby boom generation due to the fact that those people born and grew in times that there was no internet and therefore they tend to give no importance to the online ads and stuff like that.

A two-step binomial tree is used to value an option on the Australian dollar (AUD). The strike price is 1.00 USD per AUD and the

ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

a.) The proportional up movement , u, for the currency can be calculated using the following formula:

u = eStd Dev * Square root of t

u = e0.06*square root of 0.25

u = 1.0305

b.) Probability of up movement, p , = (a - d) / (u - d)

where a = ert where r = 0.025, t = 0.25

a = e0.025*0.25 = 1.0063

d = 1 / u = 1 / 1.3050 = 0.7663

p = (1.0063-0.7663) / (1.3050-0.7663)

p = 0.46

1-p = 1-0.46 = 0.54

c) Price of an American Call Option on the currency : we use binomial tree for that , as follows: The amounts below line indicate the option price and figures above line indicate the underlying asset price which is 0.55555

A company has two products: A1 and B2. It uses activity-based costing and has prepared the following analysis showing budgeted c

Mila [183]

Answer:

$4.00

Explanation:

To calculate the approximate overhead cost per unit of product A1 under activity - based costing we have it as

Activity 1 allocated to Product B2 line we have as

$48,000 × 4,800/6,000

= $38,400

Activity 2 allocated to Product B2 line we have it as

= $63,000 × 4,760/7,000

= $42,840

Activity 3 allocated to Product B2 line we have it as

=$80,000 × 800/8,000

= $8,000

Total overhead allocated to Product B2 = $89,240

Overhead per unit of Product B2: $89,240/22,310 = $4.00

As our overhead unit of product

2) 27.20%

Explanation:

Solution

To get the Expected return for your fund we have to the percentage of Treasury bill and risk premium. That is,

T-bill rate + risk premium = 6.4% + 12% = 18.4%

Standard deviation of client's overall portfolio = 0.80 × 34% = 27.20%
