Perhaps, life expectancy... That may be your answer.
B) $70,880..........................
Answer:
PLAN A:
(120 * 0.39) + (40 * 0.19) + 20 = $74.40
PLAN B:
(120 * 0.49) + (40 * 0.14) + 20 = $84.40
PLAN C:
$20 + $75 = $95 ;
PLAN A is optimal from 0 to 192 minutes
PLAN C is optimal from 192 minutes onward ;
Explanation:
PLAN A :
Service charge = $20
Daytime = $0.39 per minute
Evening = $0.19 per minute
PLAN B :
Service charge = $20
Daytime = $0.49 per minute
Evening = $0.14 per minute
PLAN C :
Service charge = $20
225 minutes = $75
Minutes beyond 225 = $0.36 per minute
A.)
Determine the total charge under each plan for this case: 120 minutes of day calls and 40 minutes of evening calls in a month.
PLAN A:
(120 * 0.39) + (40 * 0.19) + 20 = $74.40
PLAN B:
(120 * 0.49) + (40 * 0.14) + 20 = $84.40
PLAN C:
$20 + $75 = $95
b. If the agent will use the service for daytime calls, over what range of call minutes will each plan be optimal?
PLAN A:
20 + 0.39D = 95
0.39D = 95 - 20
D = 75 / 0.39
D = 192.31
Answer:
HPR = holding period Return is 20%
Explanation:
- Given original Investment = $100
- Short sale proceeds for 1 share = $100
- Investment made of $100 + short sale proceeds of $100 at 5% YTM.
- So Maturity Value = Investment x (1+YTM)^number of years
- = 200 x (1 + 0.05)^1 = 210
- Therefore, In order to cover Short sale of 1 share, we will have to buy 1 share at a closing value of $90
- As such, holding period Return = (Investment proceeds from ZCB - Buying price of stock - Investment amount) / Investment Amount
- = (210 - 90 - 100) / 100 = 0.2 or 20%
- Hence, HPR = holding period Return is 20%
