Answer:
The endowment fund is not satisfied with the advisor's performance
Explanation:
Judging from a nominal interest rate perspective where return expected of an investment comprises of real rate of return and an extra return which is a compensation for inflation rate in the economy,the endowment fund is not satisfied with performance of the advisor.
The satisfactory rate of return that would be expected of the advisor is computed below:
nominal interest rate=real rate+inflation rate
real rate is 8.2%
inflation rate is 2.9%
nominal interest rate=8.2%+2.9%
=11.10%
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
Answer:
Periodic payment = $3,881.88 (Approx).
Explanation:
Given:
Present value of annuity = $36,500
Rate = 6.5% = 0.065
Number of payment = 15
Computation:
![Present\ value\ of\ annuity = periodic\ payment[\frac{1-(1+r)^{-n}}{r} ]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=Present%5C%20value%5C%20of%5C%20annuity%20%3D%20periodic%5C%20payment%5B%5Cfrac%7B1-%281%2Br%29%5E%7B-n%7D%7D%7Br%7D%20%5D)
![36,500 = periodic\ payment[\frac{1-(1+0.065)^{-15}}{0.065} ]\\\\36,500 = periodic\ payment[\frac{1-(1.065)^{-15}}{0.065} ]\\\\36,500 = periodic\ payment[\frac{1-0.388826524}{0.065} ]\\\\36,500 = periodic\ payment[\frac{0.611173476}{0.065} ]\\\\36,500 = periodic\ payment[9.40266886 ]\\\\periodic\ payment = 3,881.87658](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=36%2C500%20%3D%20periodic%5C%20payment%5B%5Cfrac%7B1-%281%2B0.065%29%5E%7B-15%7D%7D%7B0.065%7D%20%5D%5C%5C%5C%5C36%2C500%20%3D%20periodic%5C%20payment%5B%5Cfrac%7B1-%281.065%29%5E%7B-15%7D%7D%7B0.065%7D%20%5D%5C%5C%5C%5C36%2C500%20%3D%20periodic%5C%20payment%5B%5Cfrac%7B1-0.388826524%7D%7B0.065%7D%20%5D%5C%5C%5C%5C36%2C500%20%3D%20periodic%5C%20payment%5B%5Cfrac%7B0.611173476%7D%7B0.065%7D%20%5D%5C%5C%5C%5C36%2C500%20%3D%20periodic%5C%20payment%5B9.40266886%20%5D%5C%5C%5C%5Cperiodic%5C%20payment%20%3D%203%2C881.87658)
Periodic payment = $3,881.88 (Approx).
Answer:
At one time, the centrally planned economy of China encouraged farmers to produce iron in their backyards, rather than have factories make iron. This proved unsuccessful, since most of the farmers' iron was of poor quality. Why do you think this approach was unsuccessful? How could this experiment become a success in a free market economy?
The reason why the approach whereby farmers make iron in their backyard could not work out is as a result of not being inclined in that market as they are only skilled in agriculture, also they do not understand the rhetorics of the business.
The experiment would be a success in a free market as anyone is allowed to sell such product, this gives room for competition and helps to price reduction which is good for the consumers, also it would help in improvement of such product's quality because of competition involved
