James heard about a good investment opportunity from his financial advisor, Bob. The interest rate for the investment is astonishingly 12% monthly. However, James lost all the information needed including the amount of deposit he should make, the investment perod, and future value. Fortunately, he still remembers part of the computation process that In(FV) was 375 and In(PV) was 352. What is the investment period? Start from solving the PV equation for t.

Chris LeBlanc estimates that if he does 4.5 hours of research using data that will cost $175.00, there is a good chance that he can improve his expected return on a $10,000, 1-year investment from 6.2% to 9.2%. Chris feels that he must earn at least $30.00 per hour on the time he devotes to his research. a. Find the cost of Chris's research. b.

Let’s say we wanted to find the amount of interest you would get in only the 4th year if the annual interest was a consistent 24.67% and we initially put in $1000.00 into the investment. Which equation do we use? And once you know that, what is the interest? Use the following space to complete your work Great work. Now let’s find the total amount of the investment after the 4 years. Remember first we need to find the total interest gained by using the sum equation above, then add that to the initial investment. Do that work here:
If you insulate your office for $12,000, you will save $1,200 a year in heating expenses. These savings will last forever. a. What is the NPV of the investment when the cost of capital is 5%? 10%? b. What is the IRR of the investment? (Enter your answer as a whole percent.) c. What is the payback period on this investment?
You are considering an investment to a project that can generate yearly income of $10,000. If there is a 25% chance that the market crashes so that the income drops by 30%, what would your expected income be? Please use hand calculations.
Mr. Montefalco a fisherman from Alegria Province initially invested ₱500,000.00 in a local cooperative and wanted a double amount form its initial investment, Using the formula from the previous lesson on exponential function A= P(1 + r)^n where: A is the future value; P is the present value; r is the interest rate and n is the number of years, how many years will it take an investment to triple if the annual interest rate is 6%?
Mellon Bank wants to experiment by adding a robot drive through at a cost of $226,000. The robot is expected to have a four year life and be sold for $76,000 at the end of its useful life. The belt is expected to lower labor by 180,000 each year as well as increase maintenance by 12,000 each year. Their working capital is not expected to change much. The required rate of return is 7%.

I have two projects that I am evaluating: project A, where the initial investment is 5,000TL and the annual return is 5,000TL, and project B where the initial investment is 8,000TL and annual return is 6,000TL. Both projects are for 5 years. I have done my calculations and I cannot select between these two. What is my MARR? Write your answer as a decimal number, with at least one digit after the decimal point. If your result is 10.5% just write 10.5 (DO NOT write it as 0.105 or DO NOT put a percentage sign)

Suppose that you have 12, 000 in a rather risky investment recommended by your financial advisor. During the first year, your investment decreases by 40% of its original value. During the second year, your investment at the end of year one increases by 50%. Your advisor tells you that there must have been a 10% overall increase of your original $12, 000 investment. Is your financial advisor using percentages properly? If not, what is your actual percent gain or loss of your original $12, 000 investment?

You currently only have $28,118 saved up in your retirement accounts. If you anticipate that your 80/20 investment portfolio will return an average of 8.31% per year, how much extra must you save every year to reach your goal? Assume that you'll be saving the extra amount by the end of each year.
