Answer: 1%

Explanation:

The Nominal interest rate has not been adjusted for inflationary effects yet and as such is considered overstated.

The Real Interest rate has been adjusted for inflation and is believed to show the actual return one receives.

Tax is calculated on the Nominal rate.

After tax Nominal Rate = 5% * ( 1 - 40%)

= 3%

Then adjust for inflation to find real rate,

= 3% - 2%

= 1%

The After-tax real rate is 1%.

1. Even though you have no idea who you will marry, you are planning to have an elaborate wedding 4 years from now. The estimate
mars1129 [50]

Answer:

(1) $9,973.15

(2) 10.7%

Explanation:

(1) A = P(1+r)^n

A (estimated cost of the wedding) is the total amount to be saved = $52,000

r = interest rate = 3.5% = 0.035

n = duration of savings = 4 years = 4×12 = 48 months

52000 = P(1+0.035)^48

52000 P(1.035)^48

52000 = P(5.214)

P = 52000/5.214 = 9,973.15

Amount to be saved each month is $9,973.15

(2) A = P(1+r)^n

A is the total amount the coin was resold = $297,500

P is the amount the coin was purchased = $219,000

n is the duration of the investment = 3 years

297,500 = 219,000(1+r)^3

(1+r)^3 = 297,500/219,000

(1+r)^3 = 1.358

1+r = (1.358)^1/3

1+r = 1.107

r = 1.107 - 1 = 0.107 = 10.7%

Retained earning = 75 % = 0.75

We have to find the firm's growth rate

We know that growth rate is given by

Growth rate = Return on equity × retained earning

So firm's growth rate will be equal to = 0.16×0.75 = 0.12

Therefore the earning growth rate will be 12 %
