Answer:

27.10%

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Principle amount = $1,498

Amount returned i.e the future value = $1,904

Time, n = 1 year

Now,

Interest paid = Amount returned - Principle amount

= $1,904 - $1,498

= $406

Using simple interest formula

Interest = Principle × Rate × Time

or

$406 = $1,498 × Rate × 1

or

Rate = 0.2710 or

= 0.2710 × 100%

= 27.10%

aliya0001 [1]

Answer:

The answer is yes, it will function as a medium of exchange.

Explanation:

Money has three functions, store of value, unit of account and medium of exchange. Money that can be used as a medium of exchange is money that is accepted as such by both buyers and sellers, and that is comfortable, or convenient enough, to be carried and exchanged

In this example, the nation of Newbie will issue a currency that can be easily transported. While heavy stock cardboard is a little bit heavier than the paper in which most modern-day currencies are printed, the weight is still light, and does not impede easy transportation and exchange of the currency bills.

Besides, the new Newbie Nugget will be what is know was the legal tender of the nation. The legal tender is the currency that a specific country accepts to collect taxes. This gives more legitimacy to Newbie Nugget and makes it a classical example of a medium of exchange.

The following data represent the probability distribution of the holding period returns for an investment in Lazy Rapids Kayaks
Brut [27]

Answer:

<u></u>

  • <u>17.5%</u>

Explanation:

The <em>expected return</em> is the weighted average of the expected returns in each scenario by its respective probability.

The <em>distribution of the holding period returns </em>(HPR) under three different scenarios is:

State of the economy    Scenario #(s)     Probability, p(s)    HPR

HPR Boom                         1                            0.336              28.40%

Normal growth                  2                           0.414                7.90%

Recession                          3                           0.25                18.90%

The calculations are:

        E(HPR) = 0.336\times 28.40\%+0.414\times 7.90\%+0.25\times 18.90\%

        E(HPR)=17.5\%
