Answer:

The expected value of the bet is –$0.95.

Explanation:

Number of cards in a standard deck = 52

Number of diamonds in a standard deck = 13

The probability (P) that the two cards that will be drawn without replacement will be diamonds is therefore as follows:

P = (13 / 52) * (12 / 51) = 0.0588

The probability (P) that the two cards that will be drawn without replacement will NOT be diamonds is also as follows:

1 – P = 1 – 0.0588

1 – P = 0.9412

Amount your friend will pay you if both cards are diamonds = $296

Amount you will pay your friend if both cards are NOT diamonds = -$17 (Note that this is negative since it is a loss)

Expected value of the bet = (P * $296) + ((1 – P) * ($-17)) = (0.0588 * $256) – (0.9412 * 17) = –$0.95

Nissan’s all-electric car, the Leaf, has a base price of $32,780 in the United States, but it is eligible for a $7500 federal ta
katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

Nissan's all-electric car, the Leaf

PV cost of Leaf Purchase =   $16,529

PV cost of Leasing =             $12,944.78

The company should lease the car.

Explanation:

a) Costs incurred to purchase the Leaf:

Base price                    $32,780

less Federal tax credit ($7,500)

Charging station             2,200

less 50% tax credit         (1,100)

Cash paid                  $26,380

Sales value after 3 yrs (9,851) ( $26,380 - 40% of base discounted to PV)

Net PV Investment    $16,529

b) Calculation of Discounted Present Values of Payments under Leasing, using online financial calculator:

PV (Present Value) $12,944.78

N (Number of Periods) 3.000

I/Y (Interest Rate) 10.000%

PMT (Periodic Payment)   $4,200.00

Starting Investment $2,500.00

Total Principal $15,100.00

Total Interest $2,129.50

c) The purchase of the Leaf would involve a present value cost of $26,380 after deducting all the savings from tax.  The 40% sales value of the car at the end of 3 years = $13,112 ($32,780 x 40%).  When this sales value is discounted to PV of $9,851, the PV of the car investments becomes $16,529 ($26,380 - $9,851).  On the other hand, leasing will cost in PV the sum of $12,944.78

Karolina [17]

Answer:

15 years

Explanation:

If you are constructing a portfolio to cover the education expenses of your child and you expect that he/she graduates from college in 15 years, then the time horizon of your portfolio should be 15 years since it should cover all the expenses until your child graduates. If you start a little earlier and expect your child to graduate in 20 years, the time horizon will be 20 years, or if you start a little later and expect your child to graduate in 10 year, then the time horizon is 10 years.
