Answer: b) Investment demand had been greater than savings
Explanation:
Investment in the economy comes from savings by households also known as Loanable funds. If investment demand is higher than the savings supply this demand will pull the interest rate up due to a lack of loanable funds.
As the interest rates are pulled up, more people will be encouraged to save their money in other to benefit from the higher interest rates thereby increasing the loanable funds in the market.
Total debt ratio is the ratio of total debt to total assets
i.e
Total debt ratio = Total debt / Total assets
But Total assets is nothing but total equity plus total debt
Now let us consider,
TD = Total debt
TE = Total equity
TA= Total assets
Therefore,
Total debt ratio = TD/TA
But as mentioned above
TA = TD + TE
total debt ratio = Total debt/(total debt+total equity)
total debt ratio = .34(given)
.34 = TD / (TD + TE)
Solving this equation yields:
0.34 = 1/(1+ TE/TD)
0.34(1+TE/TD) = 1
0.34 + 0.34TE/TD =1
.34(TE/TD) = 1 - 0.34
0.34 (TE/TD) = 0.66
0.34TE = 0.66TD
Now, Debt equity ratio is the ratio of Total debt to total equity
Debt-equity ratio = TD / TE
Debt-equity ratio = 0.34 / 0.66
Debt-equity ratio = 0.51515152
Answer:
a. If the interest rate was 8%, how much would you have been prepared to bid for the prize?
this is an ordinary annuity:
annual payment = $9,420,713 / 20 = $471,035.65
number of periods = 19 periods
interest rate = 8%
therefore, the present value annuity factor = 9.6036
the present value of the annuity = $471,035.65 x 9.6036 = $4,523,637.97 ≈ $4,523,638
