John Doeber borrowed $150,000 to buy a house. His loan cost was 6% and he promised to repay the loan in 10 equal annual payments. What are John's annual payment amounts?
Answer:
$20,380.16
Explanation:
in order to find the annual payment, we can use the present value of an annuity formula:
present value = annual payment x PV annuity factor
present value = $150,000PV annuity factor (6%, 10 periods) = 7.3601annual payment = present value / annuity factor = $150,000 / 7.3601 = $20,380.16

A customer, concerned about a possible pull-back in XYZ stock, instructs her broker to "Sell my XYZ stock if it falls to 40, but I don't want less than 39.75 for my shares." The broker should enter:______.a. market order to sell.b. sell stop order.c. sell stop limit order.
Answer:
c. sell stop limit order.
Explanation:
In this case, a stop order would be issued by a client that instructs his/her broker to sell the stock if the price falls below $40.
But this is a stop limit order because the client has instructed specifically that he/she will not accept a stock price lower than $39.75. A stop limit order sets an specific price limit that the customer will be willing to accept.

Juanita receives her paycheck and knows that her gross pay and federal tax are correct. Using the fact that Social Security tax is 6.2% of gross pay, Medicare tax is 1.45% of gross pay and state tax is 19% of federal tax, determine if Juanita's net pay is correct.Choose the true statement below. a. The net pay is correct. b. The Social Security tax is not correct. c. The Medicare tax is not correct. d. The state tax is not correct.
Answer:
a. The net pay is correct.
Explanation:
Suppose the missing part of the question which is the gross pay and the federal tax is 1020.00 and 107.00 respectively.
Then, Social Security tax 6.2% of the gross pay = [tex]\dfrac{6.2}{100}\times 1020[/tex]
Social Security tax 6.2% of the gross pay = 0.062 × 1020
Social Security tax 6.2% of the gross pay = $63.24
the Medicare tax is 1.45% of gross pay = [tex]\dfrac{1.45}{100} \times 1020[/tex]
the Medicare tax is 1.45% of gross pay = 0.0145 × 1020
the Medicare tax is 1.45% of gross pay = $14.79
the state tax is 19% of federal tax = [tex]\dfrac{19}{100} \times 107[/tex]
the state tax is 19% of federal tax = 0.19 × 107
the state tax is 19% of federal tax = $20.33
Hence, to determine if Juanita's net pay is correct, we have the summation of all our estimated figures minus the gross pay.
i.e
Juanita's net pay = $1020 - $(107 + 63.24 + 14.79 + 20.33)
Juanita's net pay = $1020 - 205.36
Juanita's net pay = $814.64
Founders should be wary of crowdfunding sites like Kickstarter, because these efforts require founders to give up large ownership stakes to a large number of contributors before they can raise funds to bring products to market.A. TrueB. False
Answer:
B. False
Explanation:
As the name suggests that crowdfunding refers to the funding for a project by having a small amount from the public at large in an internet
Since in the question it is mentioned that the founders should put efforts for giving the high stake of ownership with respect to high contributors before raising the funds to launch a product in the market
But this above requirement should not be necessary
Therefore the given statement is false
In 2010, us nominal gdp was estimated to be $14.657 trillion dollars while the real gdp was estimated to be $13.245 trillion. why the difference? what is the significance of the difference between these two measures of gdp? do you expect nominal gdp to be higher than real gdp for most years? explain.
Answer:
Nominal gross domestic product (GDP) measures the market value of all the new and legal goods and services produced in a country within a year. While real GDP adjusts nominal GDP to inflation. Since inflation is generally positive, real GDP decreases as inflation increases. The higher the inflation rate, the larger the difference between nominal and real GDP. Depending on which year is used as base year (year 0), the difference that existed in 2010 can be either significant or not.
The difference = ($14,657 / $13,245) - 1 = 10.66%, which means that nominal GDP was 10.66% higher than real GDP. If the base year is 2000 or even 2005/6, the difference is very small since the accumulated inflation would only be 10.66% for all these years. But if the base year was 2008 or even 2009, then the inflation rate is high.

Within how many days after initially commencing work must an employer report a new employee, according to PRWOR?
Answer:
20 days
Explanation:
The full meaning of PRWOR is Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 of the U.S..
PRWOR is a detailed bipartisan welfare reform plan that brought a change to the U.S. welfare system in a dramatic way whereby time-limited assistance is required to be exchange for work.
One of the contents of PRWOR is that it mandates an employer report a new employee within 20 days after the employee initially commencing work by filing a new hire reporting form.
Therefore, according to PRWOR, an employer report a new employee must report a new employee 20 days after initially commencing work.
A body in the solar system has a period of 10,759.22 days and a perihelion speed of 10.18 km/s. a. Calculate the aphelion radius in nautical miles (14 points). b. Calculate the eccentricity (2 points). c. Extra credit: Name the object. (6 points).
Answer:
Explanation:
From the information given, by applying Kepler's 3rd law,
[tex]T^2 \alpha a^3[/tex]
where;
T = period
a = semi major axis
T = 356 days (for earth)
a = 1 AU = 1.496 [tex]\times 10^8 \ km[/tex]
Therefore, [tex]T^2 = ca^3[/tex]
[tex]c= \dfrac{365^2}{(1.496 \times 10^8)^3}[/tex]
c = 3.9791 [tex]\times 10^{20} \ day^2/km^3[/tex]
However, if the body in the solar system has a period of 10.759.22 days, then, a =?
∴
[tex]T^2 = ca^3[/tex]
[tex]a3 = \dfrac{10759.22^2}{3.9791 \times 10^{-20}}[/tex]
[tex]a^3 = 2.9092 \times 10^{27}[/tex]
[tex]a= \sqrt[3]{2.9092 \times 10^{27}}[/tex]
a = 1.4275 [tex]\times 10^9 \ km[/tex]
However, the velocity for a perihelion = 10.18 km/s
Using the formula
[tex]v = \sqrt{GM ( \dfrac{2}{r}-\dfrac{1}{a})}[/tex] to calculate the radius, we have:
G = [tex]6.674 \times 10^{-11}[/tex]
M = [tex]1.989\times 10^{30} \ kg[/tex]
r = perihelion
[tex]v ^2= GM ( \dfrac{2}{r}-\dfrac{1}{a})[/tex]
[tex](10.18 \times 10^3) ^2= 6.674 \times 10^{-11} \times 1.989 \times 10^{30} ( \dfrac{2}{r}-\dfrac{1}{1.425 \times 10^{12}})[/tex]
[tex]7.8068 \times 10^{-13}= \dfrac{2}{r}-\dfrac{1}{1.425 \times 10^{12}}[/tex]
[tex]\dfrac{2}{r} = 1.4824 \times 10^{-12}[/tex]
[tex]r = \dfrac{2}{1.4824 \times 10^{-12}}[/tex]
[tex]r = 1.349 \times 10^{12}[/tex]
Similarly, the perihelion is expressed by the equation,
r = a(1 - e)
where ;
e= eccentricity
∴
[tex]1.349 \times 10^{12} = 1.425 \times 10^{12} ( 1 - e)[/tex]
[tex]1.349 \times 10^{12} - 1.425 \times 10^{12}= - 1.425 \times 10^{12} (e)[/tex]
[tex]-7.6\times 10^{10}= - 1.425 \times 10^{12} (e)[/tex]
[tex]\dfrac{-7.6\times 10^{10}}{- 1.425 \times 10^{12}}= (e)[/tex]
e ( eccentricity) = 0.0533
Aphelion radius in natural miles, r = a( 1+ e)
[tex]r = 1.425 \times 10^{12} ( 1 + 0.0533)[/tex]
[tex]r = 1.50 \times 10^{12} \ m[/tex]
to nautical miles, we have:
[tex]r = 1.50 \times 10^{12} \times 0.00054 \ nautical \ mile[/tex]
radius of aphelion [tex]\mathbf{r = 8.10 \times 10^8}[/tex] nautical miles

When the holder (owner) of an index option exercises the contract, the account of the holder will be A) debited the out-of-the money amount. B) debited the in-the-money amount. C) credited the out-of-the-money amount. D) credited the in-the-money amount.
Answer:
credited the in-the-money amount.
Explanation:
When an option is excersised the owner of the option decides to initiate a financial transaction that is carried out by both parties. At the end of the transaction the option contract is terminated.
In this kind of transaction settlement is in cash and not stock. So the option writer takes money to the option buyer and the amount is equal to the value of the option in-the-money.
This will result in a credit to the in-the-money amount.

Customer Q, age 40, is married with 3 young children. He earns $120,000 per year and has $10,000 of liquid assets to invest. The customer has no current portfolio, but does own his home, worth $400,000 against which there is a $200,000 mortgage. The customer informs you that his father just died, leaving him an inheritance of $150,000. He wishes to invest the money so that he can retire in 20 years, using the investment's income. The best recommendation to the customer is to invest the $150,000 in:______________.A. a large cap stock mutual fundB. CMO companion tranches with a 20 year average lifeC. TIPs with a 20 year maturityD. a low-load variable annuity separate account with a growth objective
Answer:
D. a low-load variable annuity separate account with a growth objective
Explanation:
The customer plans to retire in 20 years, and even though his earnings are relatively high, his assets and net value are not. Before his father died, he only had $10,000 to invest, so he cannot afford to take high risks.
A low load investment is one whose managers charge low management fees. A variable annuity is a type of investment that yields a variable return depending on how the investment portfolio performs. In order to be able to have a larger future return, the growth objective would be to have a portfolio that grows, and not necessarily yields annual returns, e.g. zero coupon securities or stocks that pay low dividends or even no dividends at all but have a higher growth rate.
A nursery has $50,000 of inventory in dogwood trees and red maple trees. the profit on a dogwood tree is 28% and the profit on a red maple tree is 18%. the profit for the entire stock is 20%. how much was invested in each type of tree?
Answer and Explanation:
Let us assume the following things
x = dogwood inventory percentage
and, (50,000 - x) = red maple tree inventory percentage
And, the amount of profit is
= $50,000 × 0.20
= $10,000
Now the equation would be
0.28x + 0.18 × ($50,000 - x) = $10,000
0.28x + $9,000 - 0.18x = $10,000
0.10x = 1,000
x = 10,000 = dogwood
So, the red maple would be
= 50,000 - 10,000
= 40,000

Pablo bought a desktop computer and a laptop computer. Before finance charges, the laptop cost $300 less than the desktop. He paid for the computers using two different financing plans. For the desktop the interest rate was 6% per year, and for the laptop it was 7% per year. The total finance charges for one year were $252. How much did each computer cost before finance charges?
Answer:
Desktop Cost = $2,100
Laptop Cost = $1,800
Explanation:
Let A = Cost of desktop
Let B = Cost of Laptop
The total finance charge for 1 years is given by
(0.06)A + (0.07)B = 252
(0.06)A + (0.07)(A-300) = 252
(0.06)A + (0.07)A-300 = 252
(0.06)A + 0.07A - 21 = 252
(0.06)A + 0.07A = 252 + 21
0.06A + 0.07A = 273
0.13A = 273
A = 2100
Hence, Desktop Cost = $2,100
Therefore, the Laptop Cost = $2,100 - $300 = $1,800
Claude is an investment adviser representative. One of his clients has recently bought and sold into and out of several investments. None of the investments were held for more than 6 months, and the investor is now asking Claude how to best compare the returns. Claude tells the client to annualize the returns. Why is annualizing the returns a good idea
Answer:
[A] Annualizing the returns would give the client the best representation of each individual investment and allow a better comparison of the performance of all of the investments side-by-side.
Explanation:
At the time when the holding period is varied so it provide the accurate and correct picture of returns, Also in the short periods without considering the annualizing it does not generate the best picture
With short terms returns it does not present the returns that is realized for a longer period of time but here the annualizing would not be same as if is comparing a holding period return with respect to the benchmark
Therefore in the given case, the option A is correct
