An 85-year old retired client has living expenses of $15,000 per year. His portfolio is currently allocated: 50% Money Market Fund 40% Treasuries Yielding 1.20% 10% Equities The customer is complaining that he is not earning enough from his portfolio to meet monthly living expenses. The BEST recommendation to the customer is to:

Explanation:

The best recommendation in this scenario would be to liquidate half of the money market fund and invest it in 5 year corporate debentures yielding 2.70%. This is because traditionally money market funds, although highly liquid, only offer an average of 1% return on investment for the capital invested. Investing instead in a corporate debentures yielding would net the individual more than double in ROI and hopefully cover all of the living expenses.

hi : ) i found this so i hope this !

"we first find value of tax in dollars.

the difference between the two prices   is: 23. 54 - 22 = 1.54

therefore the sales tax in dollars is 1.54

the tax % will be   (amount of tax / original cost price ) × 100

(1.54 / 22) × 100  → (0.07) × 100 =   7

so the tax rate is 7%

we can double check the answer.

7 % of 22   → (7/100) × 22 → 0.07 × 22 = 1.54

22 + 1.54 = 23.54"

i might look it up later.
