Answer:
Total FV= $29,335.25
Explanation:
<u>First, we need to calculate the future value of the initial investment ($2,500) using the following formula:</u>
FV= PV*(1 + i)^n
PV= $2,500
i= 0.0075
n=10*12= 120 months
FV= 2,500*(1.0075^120)
FV= $6,128.39
<u>Now, the future value of the $1,500 annual deposit:</u>
FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i
A= annual deposit
We need to determine the effective annual rate:
Effective annual rate= (1.0075^12) - 1= 0.0938
FV= {1,500*[(1.0938^10) - 1]} / 0.0938
FV= $23,206.86
Total FV= $29,335.25
Explanation:
A mixed economic system is a system that combines aspects of both capitalism and socialism. A mixed economic system protects private property and allows a level of economic freedom in the use of capital, but also allows for governments to interfere in economic activities in order to achieve social aims.
Answer:
Under CAPM:
Re = Rf + Beta(Rm - Rf)
Rf = 5%
Rm - Rf = 6%
Beta = 1.25
Re = 5% + (1.25 x 6%) = 12.5%
Under dividend discount model:
Re = (Div₁ / P₀) + g
Div₁ = $1.20
P₀ = $35
g = 8%
Re = ($1.20 / $35) + 8% = 11.43%
Under bond yield plus risk premium approach:
Re = Pre-tax cost of debt + risk premium over its own debt
Pre-tax cost of debt = 7%
risk premium over its own debt = 4%
Re = 7% + 4% = 11%
The highest cost of equity results from the CAPM model and it is 12.5% while the lowest results from using the bond yield plus risk approach (11%), the difference is 1.5% between them.
