Answer:

c. Systematic risk.

Explanation:

Risk that affects a large number of assets, each to a greater or lesser degree, is called systematic risk.

This ultimately implies that, a systematic risk is practically impossible to predict, as well as to be avoided completely by business owners or companies. One of the most effective ways to mitigate a systematic risk is through the use of a correct asset allocation technique or through hedging but diversification of risks wouldn't reduce or mitigate a systematic risk.

Some examples of systematic risks includes changes to law, hike in interest rates, tax reforms, natural disasters such as flooding, earthquake, bushfire, bank failures, change of foreign policy etc.

taurus [48]

Answer:

Growth rate 2.4%

Explanation:

MV=D1/(Ke-g)

Where MV=share market value=$15

D1=Dividend at year end=$.72

Ke=stock's expected rate of return=7.2%

By putting above values in formula, we get;

MV=D1/(Ke-g)

15=.72/(7.2%-g)

15*7.2%-15g=.72

1.08-15g=.72

.72-1.08=-15g

g= -.36/-15

g=2.4%

Andru [333]

The correct answer is C) labor-saving advances in households.

A study of labor force participation rates of women in the post-World War II period noted:

Over the long run, women have joined the paid labor force because of a series of changes affecting the nature of work. Primary among these was labor-saving advances in households.

This is an important factor because new inventions and technology have allowed women to leave the house in order to have an education an enter the job force in the corporate world because they have shown the be very capable to perform jobs in industries and companies, at the highest levels. Today, many families need a double income in the house in order to make a decent living. So it is common to see the father and the mother having a job.

Ted purchased an annuity today that will pay $1,000 a month for five years. He received his first monthly payment today. Allison

victus00 [196]

Answer:

The correct option is E,Ted's annuity has a higher present value than Allison's

Explanation:

Both annuities do not have equal amount today as $1000 received today is higher in value terms than $1000 receivable in a month's time since cash receivable earlier is much more valued than the one receivable later.

Ted's annuity is an annuity due not an ordinary annuity

Allison's annuity is an ordinary annuity not annuity due

Allison's annuity has a lower present value than Ted's and not the other way round.

The only correct statement is option E,since Ted is expected to receive $1000 today, his annuity has a higher present value compared to Allison's

Today is your 20th birthday, and your parents just gave you $5,000 that you plan to use to open a stock brokerage account. You p

Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

You anticipate that you will have $432,522 in the account on your 65th birthday, following your final contribution.

Explanation:

To calculate this, we use the formula for calculating the future value (FV) and FV of ordinary annuity as appropriate as given below:

FVd = D * (1 + r)^n ......................................................................... (1)

FVo = P * {[(1 + r)^n - 1] ÷ r} ...................... (2)

Where,

FVd = Future value of initial deposit or balance amount as the case may be = ?

FVo = FV of ordinary annuity starting from a particular year = ?

D = Initial deposit = $5,000

P = Annual deposit =s $500

r = Average annual return = 12%, or 0.12

n = number years = to be determined as necessary

a) FV in five years from now

n = 5 for FVd

n = 4 for FVo

Substituting the values into equations (1) and (2), we have:

FVd = $5,000 * (1 + 0.12)^5 = $8,812

FVo = $500 * {[(1 + 0.12)^4 - 1] ÷ 0.12} = $2,390

FV5 = Total FV five years from now = $8,812 + $2,390 = $11,201

FVB5 = Balance after $5,000 withdrawal in year 5 = $11,201 - $5,000 = $6,201.

b) FV in 10 years from now

n = 10 - 5 = 5 for both FVd and FVo

Using equations (1) and (2), we have:

FV of FVB5 = $6,201 * (1 + 0.12)^5 = $10,928

FVo = $500 * {[(1 + 0.12)^5 - 1] ÷ 0.12} = $3,176

FV10 = Total FV 10 years from now = $10,928 + $3,176 = $14,104

FVB10 = Balance after $10,000 withdrawal in year 10 = $14,104 - $10,000 = $4,104

c) FV in 45 years from now

n = 45 - 10 = 35 for both FVd and FVo

Using equations (1) and (2), we have:

FV of FVB10 = $4,104 * (1 + 0.12)^35 = $216,690

FVo = $500 * {[(1 + 0.12)^35 - 1] ÷ 0.12} = $215,832

FV45 = Total FV 45 years from now = $216,690 + $215,832 = $432,522

Conclusion

Therefore, you anticipate that you will have $432,522 in the account on your 65th birthday, following your final contribution.

Kirov, Inc. reports credit sales of $200,000 for the year ending December 31. The year-end unadjusted balance of its Allowance f

zubka84 [21]

Answer:

The correct answer is: $12,000

Explanation:

uncollectible debt = 6% of net sales

= 6/100 × 200,000

= 0.06 × 200,000 = $12,000

Therefore, $12,000 will be removed (debited) from the bad debt expense because it is uncollectible, and it is added (credited) to the Allowance for Doubtful accounts as bad debt to be paid for in the bad debt reserve account.
