Six engineering students have an idea for a new product that they plan to launch in 3 years after graduation. In three years, each engineer will need $7,500 to begin the venture. How much should be invested by each student each year if the interest rate is 6%
Answer:
Annual deposit= $2,355.82
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Number of periods (n)= 3 years
Future Value (FV)= $7,500
Interest rate (i)= 6%
To calculate the annual deposit, we need to use the following formula:
FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i
A= annual deposit
Isolating A:
A= (FV*i)/{[(1+i)^n]-1}
A= (7,500*0.06) / [(1.06^3) - 1]
A= $2,355.82
The current price of an annual coupon bond is 100. The derivative of the price of the bond with respect to the yield to maturity is -700.The yield to maturity is an annual effective rate of 8%. Calculate the duration of the bond.
Answer:
The duration of the bond = 7.56 years
Explanation:
Given the current price = 100
DM = -1 x Current derivative price / Current price
DM = (-1 x -$700 / $100)
DM = 7
Now, D = DM (1 + r)
D = 7 (1 + 0.08)
D = 7.56
The duration of the bond = 7.56 years

For local electricity-generating companies, as output increases, cost per unit falls. This is known as economies of scale
If the coupon rate on a bond is higher than the yield to maturity, Multiple Choice the bond sells at a discount. the coupon rate on the bond has decreased. interest rates have probably increased since the bond was issued. the current yield on the bond is lower now than when the bond was originally issued.
Answer:
the current yield on the bond is lower now than when the bond was originally issued.
Explanation:
A bond can be defined as a debt or fixed investment security, in which a bondholder (investor or creditor) loans an amount of money to the bond issuer (government or corporations) for a specific period of time. The bond issuer are expected to return the principal (face value) at maturity with an agreed upon interest (coupon), which are paid at fixed intervals.
A yield to maturity can be defined as the bond's total rate of return required by the secondary market while the coupon rate is defined as the annual interest of a bond divided by its face value.
Hence, if the coupon rate on a bond is higher than the yield to maturity, the current yield on the bond is lower now than when the bond was originally issued.

The strategic plan of a solar energy company that manufactures high-efficiency solar cells includes an expansion of its physical plant in 4 years. The manager in charge of planning estimates the expenditure required to be $1.17 million in 4 years. The company plans to sets aside $1 million now into an account that earns interest equal to the rate of inflation. What will the inflation rate have to be in order for the company to have exactly the right amount of money for the expansion?
a) 4%
b) 2%
c) Unknown
d) 6%
Answer:
The answer is "Option a".
Explanation:
Given:
FV=1.17
PV=1
n=4
We are aware of a future value formula that is:
[tex]FV = PV\times (1 + i)^n[/tex]
Put the value into the above formula:
[tex]\to 1.17 = 1\times (1 + i)^{4}\\\\\to 1.04 = (1 + i)\\\\\to 1.04 -1 = i\\\\\to i=0.04\\\\[/tex]
Calculating the percentage of i= 4%
Therefore The rate of interest is equivalent to the inflation rate, which is projected predicted, according to global meta and experts, The Us will reach 5.70 percent even by conclusion of the this year. In the future, we anticipate that the inflation rate in the US is 3.20 in twelve months.

= 1 / 3
Marginal product of labor = 1
Marginal product of capital = 3
This means that if one unit of labor is used, it produces 1 unit of output.
If one unit of capital is used however, it produces 3 units of output.
If a firm therefore used one unit of capital and kept labor constant, it could produce 3 units out output.
