Your parents will retire in 27 years. They currently have $280,000 saved, and they think they will need $1,900,000 at retirement. What annual interest rate must they earn to reach their goal, assuming they don't save any additional funds? Round your answer to two decimal places.

Answers

Answer:

Annual Rate=7.35%

Explanation:

Calculation for the annual interest rate must they earn to reach their goal

Number of years =27

PV =280,000

FV =1,900,000

Using this formula

Annual Rate=(FV/PV)^(1/n)-1

Let plug in the formula

Annual Rate=(1,900,000/280,000)^(1/27)-1

Annual Rate=6.7857^(1/27)-1

Annual Rate=1.07349-1

Annual Rate=0.0735

Annual Rate=7.35%

Therefore the annual interest rate must they earn to reach their goal will be 7.35%

The firm has earnings per share of $2.11, and 225,000 shares outstanding with a market price of $31.17 per share prior to the ex-dividend day. Ignore taxes. As a result of this dividend, the: A) the current dividend yield is 51.66% B) retained earnings will increase by $245,250. C) the current dividend payout ratio is 3.497% D) earnings per share will increase to $3.20. E) price-earnings ratio will be 14.26 ex-dividend.

Answers

Answer: E) price-earnings ratio will be 14.26 ex-dividend.

Explanation:

Stock prices generally decrease in price by the price of the dividend on ex-dividend date.

This means that this stock will reduce to:

= 31.17 - 1.09

= $30.08

Price to Earnings ratio = Stock price/ Earnings per share

= 30.08/2.11

= $14.26

On January 1, 2016, Brian's stock portfolio is worth $100,000. On September 30, 2016, $5,000 is withdrawn from the portfolio, and immediately after this withdrawal the portfolio has a value of $105,000. Twelve months later, the value of the portfolio is $108,000, and Brian adds $3,000 worth of stock to his portfolio. On December 31, 2017, the portfolio is worth $100,000. What is the time-weighted rate of return for Brian's stock portfolio over the two year period

Answers

Answer:

1.93%

Explanation:

The time weighted rate of return will be computed by combining the return at every time period demarcated by a withdrawal/addition.

Time 1: Jan 1, 2016 to Sep 30, 2016

start value = 100,000; end value = (105,000+5,000) = 110,000

Return = [tex]\frac{110,000}{100,000}=1.1[/tex]

Time 2: Sep 30, 2016 to Sep 30, 2017

start value = 105,000; end value = 108,000

Return = [tex]\frac{108,000}{105,000}=1.028571[/tex]

Time 3: Sep 30, 2017 to Dec 31, 2017

start value = (108,000 + 3,000) = 111,000; end value = 100,000

Return = [tex]\frac{100,000}{111,000}=0.900901[/tex].

Therefore, time weighted return

= (1.1 * 1.028571 * 0.900901) - 1

= 0.019305

= 1.93%.

The automobile was purchased for $2,000 and sold for $1,200. The ABC stock was purchased for $1,800 and sold for $3,200. In 2020 (the year of sale), Jack should report what amount of net capital gain and net ordinary income?

Answers

If there was a 24% chance of having a contract signed to purchase a home in any one month and there were 55 homes on the market, what would be the probability that exactly 15 of them would have a contract signed during this month?
a. 10.3%
b. 24.0%
c. 66.7%
d. 23.0%

Answers

Answer:

a. 10.3%

Explanation:

PF of Binomial distribution is given as Pr.(x=x) = nCxP^x(1-p)^(n-x)

P = 0.24, n= 55, x =15 Note: C = Combination

Pr.(x = 15) = 55"C"15(0.24)^15(0.76)(55-15)

Pr.(x = 15) = 55"C"15(0.24)^15(0.76)^40

Pr.(x = 15) = 0.1026

Pr.(x = 15) = 10.26%

Pr.(x = 15) = 10.3%

Doreen has preferences represented by the utility function U(x, y) = 10x + 5y. She consumes 10 units of good x and 9 units of good y. If her consumption of good x is lowered to 1, how many units of y must she have in order to be exactly as well off as before?

Answers

Answer:

she must consume 11 units of good Y

Explanation:

Doreen's current utility = (10 x 10) + (5 x 9) = 145 utils

if she consumes only 9 goods of X, her utility will be:

90 + 5Y

the amount of good Y that makes both equations equal is:

90 + 5Y = 145

5Y = 55

Y = 55 / 5 = 11 units

What is the fundamental reason that the levels of consumption and saving in the United States are each higher today than they were a decade ago

Answers

Answer:

a. Consumption schedule

The variable on the vertical (y) axis is Consumption and the variable on the horizontal (x) axis is disposable income .

These variables are directly related.

On the Consumption schedule, the variables on the y axis are the different levels of consumption whilst the variables on the x are amounts of disposable income.

Consumption and disposable income are directly related because when the amount of disposable income increases, the amount that consumers can spend will increase as well as it comes from the disposable income that a consumer has.

b. Saving schedule

The variable on the vertical (y) axis is Saving and the variable on the horizontal (x) axis is disposable income .

These variables are directly related.

On the Saving schedule the x axis which is for the independent variable is the Disposable income whilst the dependent variable on the y axis is for Savings.

Savings and Disposable income are directly relate because when a person has more money after taxes (disposable income), they will be able to save more money.

c. Real GDP and disposable income are higher.

The Real GDP of the United States as well as disposable income have increased over the past decade which means that people are able to both consume and save more s shown above.

Lake Sales had $2,200,000 in sales last month. The contribution margin ratio was 30% and operating profits were $180,000. What is Lake's break-even sales volume

Answers

Answer:

$1,600,000

Explanation:

Sales

$2,200,000

Contribution margin ratio

30%

$660,000

Sales $2,200,000

Contribution margin $660,000

Operating profit $180,000

Fixed cost = Contribution margin - Operating profit

= $660,000 - $180,000

= $480,000

Break even sales = Fixed cost / Contribution margin ratio

= $480,000 / 30%

= $1,600,000

Therefore, Lake's break even sales volume is $1,600,000

CDB stock is currently priced at $85. The company will pay a dividend of $5.69 next year and investors require a return of 11.6 percent on similar stocks. What is the dividend growth rate on this stock?

Answers

Answer:

4.91%

Explanation:

CDB stock is currently priced at $85

The company will pay a dividend of $5.69

The required return is 11.6%

There for the dividend growth rate on this stock can be calculated as follows

11.6/100= (5.69/85) + growth rate

0.116= 0.0669 + growth rate

0.116 - 0.0669 = growth rate

0.0491 × 100 = growth rate

Growth rate = 4.91%

Jessica and Robert have two young children. They have $7,000 of qualified child care expenses and an AGI of $22,000 in 2019. What is their allowable child and dependent care credit considering their pre-credit tax liability

Answers

Answer:

$0

The computation of the their allowable child and dependent care credit is shown below:

In the case when the income is below $35,000 than full 35% would be allowed

But the qualified child expense would be limited to $6,000

So, here the amount would be

= $1,860

Already there is a pre credit tax liability so $0 should be considered as it would not received any credit

Bob has been investing $4,000 in stock at the end of every year for the past 8 years. If the account is currently worth $45,000, what was his annual return on this investment?a. 10.61%b. 10.91%c. 8.81%d. 9.55%e. 9.07%

Answers

Answer:

d. 9.55%

Explanation:

we can use the future value of an annuity formula to calculate Bob's annual return:

future value = annual contribution x FV annuity factor

future value = $45,000

annual contribution = $4,000

FV annuity factor = ?

FV annuity factor = future value / annual contribution = $45,000 / $4,000 = 11.25

FV annuity factor = [(1 + i)ⁿ - 1] / i

11.25 = [(1 + i)⁸ - 1] / i

11.25i = (1 + i)⁸ - 1

solving this problem is really complicated, but there is a much simple way to do it:

e) 11.25 x 0.0907 = (1 + 0.0907)⁸ - 1

1.020375 ≠ 1.0028

d) 11.25 x 0.0955 = (1 + 0.0955)⁸ - 1

1.0744 = 1.0744 ⇒ this option is correct

Crador Corp. uses a process costing system in which direct materials are added at the beginning of the process and conversion costs are incurred uniformly throughout the process. Beginning inventory for January consisted of 1,100 units. 14,000 units were started into the process during January. On January 31, the inventory consisted of 800 units. Equivalent units for conversion costs were 14,800. What percentage complete was the ending inventory with respect to conversion costs on January 31 using the weighted-average method

Answers

Answer: 62.5%

Explanation:

Equivalent units = Units completed and transferred out + percentage completed of ending inventory

14,800 = (1,100 + 14,000 - 800) + Percentage

14,800 = 14,300 + Percentage amount completed

Percentage amount completed = 14,800 - 14,300

Percentage amount completed = 500 units

Percentage = Ending equivalent units / ending inventory

= (500/800) * 100

= 62.5%

In order to accurately assess the capital structure of a firm, it is necessary to convert its balance sheet figures to a market value basis. KJM Corporation's balance sheet as of today is as follows: Long-term debt (bonds, at par) $10,000,000 Preferred stock 2,000,000 Common stock ($10 par) 10,000,000 Retained earnings 4,000,000 Total debt and equity $26,000,000 The bonds have a 4.0% coupon rate, payable semiannually, and a par value of $1,000. They mature exactly 10 years from today. The yield to maturity is 12%, so the bonds now sell below par. What is the current market value of the firm's debt

Answers

Answer:

$5,412,000

Explanation:

The semi annual interest = $20

Periods (n) till maturity are 10*2 = 20

Discounting rate is 12%/2 = 6%

Principal amount is $1,000

Market Value = 20 * PVIFA (20,6%) + 1,000 * PVIF (20,6%)

Market Value = 20 * 11.4699 + 1,000 * 0.3118

Market Value = 229.398 + 311.8

Market Value = 541.198

Market value = $541.20

Number of bonds = 10,000,000/1,000

Number of bonds = 10,000

Current market value = Number of bonds * Market value

Current market value = 10,000 * 541.20

Current market value = $5,412,000
