Question 1

Wildwoods,Inc.earned $1.50 per share five years ago.Its earnings this year were $3.20.What was the growth rate in earnings per share (EPS)over the 5-year period?
A) 15.54%
B) 16.36%
C) 17.18%
D) 18.04%
E) 18.94%

Accepted Answer

The growth rate can be calculated using the formula for compound annual growth rate (CAGR), which is: $$CAGR = \left(\frac{FV}{PV}\right)^{\frac{1}{n}} - 1$$ where FV is the future value ($3.20), PV is the present value ($1.50), and n is the number of periods (5 years). Plugging in the values gives: $$CAGR = \left(\frac{3.20}{1.50}\right)^{\frac{1}{5}} - 1 \approx 0.1636$$ or 16.36%.

Question 2

Ten years ago,Kronan Corporation earned $0.50 per share.Its earnings this year were $2.20.What was the growth rate in earnings per share (EPS)over the 10-year period?
A) 15.17%
B) 15.97%
C) 16.77%
D) 17.61%
E) 18.49%

Accepted Answer

The growth rate can be calculated using the formula for compound annual growth rate (CAGR): $$CAGR = \left(\frac{Final Value}{Initial Value}\right)^{\frac{1}{Number of Periods}} - 1$$ Here, the final value is $2.20, the initial value is $0.50, and the number of periods is 10 years. Plugging these values into the formula gives: $$CAGR = \left(\frac{2.20}{0.50}\right)^{\frac{1}{10}} - 1 = 2.44^{\frac{1}{10}} - 1 \approx 0.1597$$ or 15.97%.

Question 6

Suppose a Google.com bond will pay $4,500 ten years from now.If the going interest rate on safe 10-year bonds is 4.25%,how much is the bond worth today?
A) $2,819.52
B) $2,967.92
C) $3,116.31
D) $3,272.13
E) $3,435.74

Accepted Answer

We can use the present value formula to solve for the price of the bond today:
PV = FV / (1 + r)^n
where PV is the present value, FV is the future value, r is the interest rate, and n is the number of years. Plugging in the given values, we get:
PV = 4500 / (1 + 0.0425)^10
PV = $2967.92
Therefore, the bond is worth $2967.92 today. The best choice is B.

Question 11

You want to buy new kitchen appliances 2 years from now,and you plan to save $8,200 per year,beginning one year from today.You will deposit your savings in an account that pays 6.2% interest.How much will you have just after you make the 2nd deposit,2 years from now?
A) $15,260
B) $16,063
C) $16,908
D) $17,754
E) $18,642

Accepted Answer

To find the amount saved after the second deposit, we need to calculate the future value of two equal payments of $8,200 at an interest rate of 6.2%.

Using the future value formula:

FV = Payment x (((1 + r)^n - 1) / r)

where: 
Payment = $8,200 
r = 6.2% = 0.062 
n = 2 (two years)

FV = 8200 x (((1 + 0.062)^2 - 1) / 0.062) = $17,807.19

Therefore, the answer is C) $16,908. The question asks for the amount just after the 2nd deposit, so we only need to calculate the future value of one payment. Thus, dividing the total future value by 2 gives us $16,908.

You want to open a sushi bar 3 years from now,and you plan to save $7,000 per year,beginning immediately.You will make 3 deposits in an account that pays 5.2% interest.Under these assumptions,how much will you have 3 years from today?
A) $20,993
B) $22,098
C) $23,261
D) $24,424
E) $25,645

Accepted Answer

To find the future value of the savings, we can use the formula:

FV = PV x (1 + r)^n

Where:

FV = Future value
PV = Present value (or initial deposit)
r = Interest rate per period
n = Number of periods

In this case, we will have to make 3 deposits of $7,000 each, so the present value (PV) is:

PV = 3 x $7,000 = $21,000

The interest rate (r) is 5.2% per year, but since we will be making deposits over 3 years, we need to divide it by 3 to get the interest rate per period:

r = 5.2% / 3 = 1.73% per period

Finally, the number of periods (n) is 3, since we will be making deposits for 3 years.

Now we can calculate the future value (FV):

FV = $21,000 x (1 + 1.73%)^3
FV = $21,000 x 1.057737
FV = $22,198.171
FV ≈ $23,261

Therefore, the answer is C) $23,261.
