Answer:

2.87%.

Explanation:

The total return, also refer to as Nominal return or Money return, is based on the nominal interest rate. For example, let's say that you deposited $100 into a bank account and the bank offers you an annual return of 11%. This 11% is the stated interest rate, it is known as nominal interest rate, and it is rate before taking into account the effect of inflation. When we deduct the effect of inflation from nominal rate, it gives us the real rate. Real rate reflects the Purchasing Power. The Fisher equation will be used to determine the expected inflation rate. The Fisher equation is as follows:

                                            (1 + i ) = (1 + r) * (1 + h)

where

i = Nominal (Money) rate

r = Real rate

h = Inflation rate

Simply adjust the equation to calculate the inflation rate;

⇒ h = [(1 + i) / (1 + r)] - 1

OR h = [(1 + .11) / (1 + .079)] - 1 = 2.87%.

Answer:

$129.35

Explanation:

Here is the full question :

What is the present value of an annuity of $27 received at the beginning of each year for the next six  years? The first payment will be received today, and the discount rate is 10%

Present value is the sum of discounted cash flows

Present value can be calculated using a financial calculator

Cash flow each year from year 0 to 5 = $27

I = 10%

PV = $129.35

To find the PV using a financial calculator:

1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

2. after inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.  

3. Press compute

If a company pays dividends on a stock, does that mean that the stock has appreciated in value? Why or why not?
PolarNik [594]

Dividend is the amount of share in the earnings paid by the company to its shareholders for their investment in the company. So dividend is paid out of the earnings made by the company and it has no relation with the increase or decrease in the value of the stock.

Hence, If a company pays dividends on a stock, it does not mean that the stock has appreciated in value.

Suppose a firm is producing in the long run. When it produces 4,000 units of output, its total cost is $8,000. When it produces
Scilla [17]

Answer:

increasing then decreasing

Explanation:

production level            total cost             average total cost

4,000                               $8,000                    $2.00

4,200                               $8,200                     $1.95

4,400                               $8,800                    $2.00

Returns to scale measure the change in productivity, or how much input is needed to produce a unit of output.

  • increasing returns to scale: output increases in a greater proportion than inputs
  • constant returns to scale: output increases in the same proportion as inputs
  • decreasing returns to scale: output increases in a lower proportion than inputs

Since first the average total cost decreased, total output increased in a greater proportion than inputs ⇒ increasing returns of scale. But then the situation reversed and total output increased in a lower proportion than inputs ⇒ decreasing returns of scale.
