Question 3

The sum of the terms of the infinite geometric series 1,0.78,0.78²,0.78³,...is closest to A) infinity. B) 1.78. C) 0.56. D) 4.55. E) 128.21.

Accepted Answer

The sum of an infinite geometric series is given by the formula S = a / (1 - r), where a is the first term and r is the common ratio. Here, a = 1 and r = 0.78. Thus, S = 1 / (1 - 0.78) = 1 / 0.22 = 4.5454... which is closest to 4.55.

Question 8

If the interest rate is 6% and will remain 6% forever,how much would a rational investor be willing to pay for an asset that will pay him 8,480 dollars 1 year from now,1,123 dollars 2 years from now,and nothing at any other time?
A) 9,000 dollars
B) 63,000 dollars
C) 150,000 dollars
D) 8,000 dollars
E) 10,000 dollars

Accepted Answer

To find the present value of the future cash flows, we discount each payment back to the present value using the formula 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 periods. For the $8,480 payment 1 year from now: PV = 8480 / (1 + 0.06)^1 = 8000. For the $1,123 payment 2 years from now: PV = 1123 / (1 + 0.06)^2 ≈ 1000. Adding these together gives $9,000.
