Answer:

the risk premium = return of the deposit - risk free deposit return

risk premium = 5.2% - 2.5% = 2.7% or $27 for a $1,000 CD

Besides the investment risk, Casey must also consider the inflation rate and taxes. The inflation rate lowers the real interest earned by Casey: real interest rate = nominal interest rate - inflation rate. And she must also find out how the return from the non-financial institution is taxed, if it can be taxed as capital gains or regular income.

Bond A pays $4,000 in 14 years. Bond B pays $4,000 in 28 years. (To keep things simple, assume these are zero-coupon bonds, whic
Arlecino [84]

Answer and Explanation:

Given that Bond A pays $4,000 in 14 years and Bond B pays $4,000 in 28 years, and that the interest rate is 5 percent, we see that Using the rule of 70, the value of Bond A is 70/5 = doubled after 14 years. Now if its value is 4000 in 14 years, its current value must be halved. Hence the value is 2000.

Sinilarly the value of Bond B is approximately one fourth now because it pays 4000 in 28 years. Hence its value is 4000/4 = 1000.

Now suppose the interest rate increases to 10 percent. Hence the doubling time is 70/10 = 7 years

Using the rule of 70, the value of Bond A is now approximately 1,000 and the value of Bond B is 250

Comparing each bond’s value at 5 percent versus 10 percent, Bond A’s value decreases by a smaller percentage than Bond B’s value.

The value of a bond falls when the interest rate increases, and bonds with a longer time to maturity are more sensitive to changes in the interest rate.

= 70%

2 Company's overall break even point in dollar sales.

= Fixed expenses / Contribution margin ratio

= $82,530 / 70%

= $117,900

Claim jumper

Sales $108,000/$162,000 = $0.67 × 100

= 67% × $117,900

= $78,993

Makeover

Sales $54,000/$162,000 = $0.33 × 100

= 33% × $117,900

= $38,907

Claim jumper

Variable expenses

= ($68,120 / $108,000) × $39,880

= $25,154

Makeover

Variable expenses

= ($45,280 / $54,000) × $8,720

= $7,312

• Variable expenses at the point of break even sales = (Break even sales / Original sales ) × Variable expense
