Jim has an annual income of $180,000. Jim is looking to buy a house with monthly property taxes of $140 and monthly homeowners i
MariettaO [177]

Answer:

$787,471.02

Explanation:

Given:

Jim's annual income = $180,000

Monthly property taxes = $140

Monthly homeowners insurance = $70

Monthly student loan payments = $178

Maximum front end DTI limit = 28%

Maximum back end DTI limit = 36%

Amortizing period = 30 years = 360 months

annual rate = 4.5% compounded monthly

Now,

Monthly salary = \frac{\textup{Annual income}}{\textup{12 months}}

or

Monthly salary = \frac{\textup{180,000}}{\textup{12 months}}

or

Monthly salary = $15,000

Maximum front end DTI limit

= (Maximum Monthly loan payment + monthly property taxes + monthly homeowner's insurance) ÷ Monthly income

0.28 × $15,000 = Maximum Monthly loan payment + $140 + $70

Maximum Monthly loan payment = $4,200 - $140 - $70

= $3,990

and,

Maximum back end DTI limit =

or

0.36 × $15,000 = Maximum Monthly loan payment + $140 + $70 + $178

or

Maximum Monthly loan payment = $5,400 - $140 - $70 - $178

= $5,012

Now,

The monthly payment = minimum of [ $3990, $5012 ]

therefore,

The monthly payment = $3,990

Thus,

The maximum amount of loan = Monthly payment × [\frac{(1-(1+\frac{r}{k})^{-kn})}{(\frac{r}{k})}]

here,

k = 12 when compounded monthly

n  = 30 years

r = 4.5% = 0.045

The maximum amount of loan = $3,990 × [\frac{(1-(1+\frac{0.045}{12})^{-12\times30})}{(\frac{0.045}{12})}]

or

The maximum amount of loan =  $787,471.02

You are 30 years old today and are considering studying for an MBA. You just received your annual salary of $50,000 and expect i
Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

Yes, you should take the MBA because the NPV of taking the MBA is positive.

Explanation:

the total economic costs of taking the MBA program include the lost wages + the costs of taking the MBA and any interest you could have earned by investing it on something else = ($50,000 x 1.03) + ($50,000 x 1.03²) + (2 x $30,000 x 1.08) = $51,500 + $53,045 + $64,800 = $169,345

the present value of your total economic costs:

$51,500/1.08 + $53,045/1.08² + $32,400/1.08 + $32,400/1.08² = $47,685.19 + $45,477.54 + $30,000 + $27,777.78 = $150,940.51

if you continued to work, your salary at year 3 would be $54,636.35 and it would continue to increase by 3% every year. The salary that you can earn with an MBA is $80,000 and it will grow by 4% per year. I used an excel spreadsheet to calculate future salaries and the differential amount between them. Then I calculated the PV at the beginning of year 3 of the differential income.

The PV of the differential income today = $560,281.31 /1.08³ = $444,769.38

the NPV of taking an MBA = $444,769.38 - $150,940.51 = $293,828.87

Which of the following is/are true about specialists? I. Investment banks generally cannot be specialists. II. Specialists are u
Alborosie

Answer:

The correct answers are: I. Investment banks generally cannot be specialists. and V. Specialists help maintain continuous trading.

Explanation:

Stock market specialists execute purchase or sale orders commissioned by a stockbroker. In the same way, when there are not enough buyers or sellers, specialists buy or sell on their own against the market trend. That is, they have the obligation to buy when there is not enough demand and the obligation to sell when there is not enough supply, in order to provide stability and liquidity to the market. Specialists play a role comparable to that of an air traffic controller: just as air traffic controllers are in charge of maintaining order among aircraft in flight, specialists maintain a fair and orderly market in the values assigned to them.

Suppose the United States is currently producing 200 tons of hamburgers and 60 tons of tacos and Mexico is currently producing 4
4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

United States is producing 200 tons of hamburgers and 60 tons of tacos.

United States' opportunity cost for producing 1 ton of hamburgers

= \frac{60}{200}

= 0.3

United States' opportunity cost for producing 60 tons of tacos.

= \frac{200}{60}

= 3.33

So we see that US has a lower opportunity cost in producing hamburgers, so it has a comparative advantage in producing hamburgers.

Mexico is producing 40 tons of hamburgers and 50 tons of tacos.

Mexico's opportunity cost of producing a ton of hamburgers

= \frac{50}{40}

= 1.25

Mexico's opportunity cost of producing a ton of tacos

= \frac{40}{50}

= 0.8

So we see that Mexico has a lower opportunity cost in producing tacos, so it has a comparative advantage in making tacos.

Since US specializes in making hamburgers, it will produce 200 tons of hamburgers and 0 tons of tacos.

Mexico specializes in making tacos, it will produce 50 tons of tacos and 0 tons of hamburgers.

Bad White [126]

Answer:

The correct answer is "$ 30.34".

Explanation:

The value of the stock can be computed by the following formula:

⇒  \frac{Dividend \ in \ year \ 3}{(1 + Required \ return \ rate)2}  + \frac{Dividend \ in \ year \ 4}{(1 + Required \ return \ rate)3}  + \frac{Dividend \ in \ year \ 5}{(1 + Required \ return \ rate) 4 } + \frac{1}{(1 + Required \ return \ rate)4 }\times [\frac{( Dividend \ in \ year \ 5 (1 + Growth \ rate)} {( Required \ return \ rate - Growth \ rate)}]

On putting the values, we get

⇒  \frac{1.50}{1.08^2}  + \frac{1.60}{1.08^3}  + \frac{1.75}{1.08^4 } + \frac{1}{1.08^4} \times [  \frac{( 1.75\times 1.03)}{(0.08 - 0.03)}]

⇒  \frac{1.50}{1.08^2 } + \frac{1.60}{ 1.08^3 } + \frac{37.80}{ 1.08^4  }

⇒  30.34 ($)
