Many retirement funds charge an administrative fee equal to 0.25% on managed assets. Suppose that Alexx and Spenser each invest $4,000 in
the same stock this year. Alexx invests directly and earns 4% a year. Spenser uses a retirement fund and eams 3.75%.
If Alexx and Spenser leave their investments in place for 30 years, with annual compounding of the interest, how much more will Alexx have than
Spenser at the end of the 30-year period?
Alexx will have more than Spenser after 30 years. (Enter your response rounded to two decimal places.)
Suppose you are willing to pay $30 today for a share of stock which you expect to sell at the end of one year for $32. If you require an annual rate of return of 12 percent, what must be the amount of the annual dividend which you expect to receive at the end of year 1? Select the closest answer.
Suppose Kay inherits $250,000, which she invests today at a rate of return of 9 percent compounded annually. Who much will Kay's investment be worth in 25 years?
