Explain briefly why stock prices are a leading economic indicator.
Suppose that the interest rate at which Joanne can borrow and lend is 10 percent per year, but she can earn $22,000 with a high school degree. Her tuition and books at college cost $6,000 and her living expenses are $15,000 per year. Savings are deposited at the end of the year they are earned and receive (compound) interest at the end of each subsequent year. Similarly, the loans are taken out at the end of the year in which they are needed, and interest does not accrue until the end of the subsequent year. Now that the interest rate has risen, should Joanne go to college or go to work?
Suppose that you have bought a total of 3200 shares of stock of a particular company. You bought 1200 shares of stock at $18 per share, 800 shares of stock at $10 per share, and the remaining shares at $21 per share. What is the average price you paid per share of stock? (please round your answer to 2 decimal places)
