- Consider the following cash flows over a 5-year period: -$100,000 @ t = 0; $35,000 @ t = 1; $45,000 @ t = 2; -$40,000 @ t = 3; $50,000 @t = 4; and $60,000 @t=5. Using Descartes' rule of signs, how many positive rates of return are there? ○ Exactly one. ○ Exactly two. ○ Exactly three. ○ At most two. ○ At most three.arrow_forwardA mathematical approximation called the rule of 70 tells us how long it will take for something to double in size if it grows at a constant rate. The doubling time is approximately equal to the number 70 divided by the percentage rate of growth. Thus, if Oman's real GDP per person is growing at 7 percent per year, it will take about 10 years (= 70 ÷ 7) to double. Apply the rule of 70 to solve the following problem: Real GDP per person in Oman in 2020 was about $13,000 per person, while it was about $52,000 per person in the United States. If real GDP per person in Oman grows at the rate of 2 percent per year, about how long will it take Oman's real GDP per person to reach the level that the United States enjoyed in 2020? (Hint. How many times would Oman's 2020 real GDP per person have to double to reach the United States' 2020 real GDP per person?) yearsarrow_forwardSusie Lee won a lottery. She will have a choice of receiving $25,000 at the end of each year for the next 30 years, or a lump sum today. If she can earn an annual return of 10 percent on any investment she makes, what is the least she should be willing to accept today as a lump-sum payment? (Round to the nearest hundred dollars.) Use the NPV as you have equal cash flows of $25,000 for the next 30 years.arrow_forward
- Practice with the rule of 70: If you inherit $20,000 this year and you invest your money so that it grows 3.5% per year, how many years will it take for your investment to be worth $80,000? $160,000? $320,000?arrow_forwardHow do you forecast Amazon’s future income statement utilizing forecasted growth rates?arrow_forwardPlease do your own work, don't copy from the internet Q2) 2, You invest $3,000 for three years at 12 percent. a.
