Anthony Finley wishes to become a millionaire. His money market fund has a balance of $287,270 and has a guaranteed interest rate of 10%. How many years must Anthony leave that balance in the fund in order to get his desired $1,200,000
Answer:
15 years
Explanation:
The target accumulated future amount is the future value of the initial investment(present value), hence, using the future value formula provided below we can determine the investment time horizon in years required to accumulate the target amount:
FV=PV*(1+r)^n
FV=$1,200,000
PV=$287,270
r=10%
n=investment period in years=unknown
$1,200,000=$287,270*(1+10%)^n
$1,200,000/$287,270=(1+10%)^n
$1,200,000/$287,270=(1.10)^n
take log of both sides
ln($1,200,000/$287,270)=n ln(1.10)
n=ln($1,200,000/$287,270)/ln(1.10)
n=15.00years

Answer:
Revision of Paragraph to Incorporate a Bulleted List
A high-powered MBA program costs hundreds of dollars an hour. However, our program covers the same information. That information includes the following:
O entrepreneurship tips as well as how to start a business,
O writing a business plan and understanding taxes,
O writing a marketing feasibility study, and
O employment benefits plans.
Explanation:
To correctly understand a bulleted list, it is important to differentiate it from a numbered list. Each bulleted paragraph is started with a symbol without the use of a number. This means that the list is not ordered in any particular order. On the other hand, a numbered list has a sequential or ordered number for each paragraph list.
If an economy experiences deflation, the real interest rate will be greater than the nominal interest rate. will be negative when the nominal interest rate is positive. will be less than the nominal interest rate. will be equal to the deflation rate, so long as the nominal interest rate is positive.
Answer:
will be greater than the nominal interest rate.
Explanation:
Inflation can be defined as the persistent general rise in the price of goods and services in an economy at a specific period of time.
Generally, inflation usually causes the value of money to fall and as a result, it imposes more cost on an economy.
Deflation can be defined as a fall or decrease in the overall price level of goods and services in an economy, so that inflation becomes negative while causing an increase in the purchasing power of a currency. Thus, an economy experiences a deflation when its inflation rate becomes negative i.e falls below zero percent (0%).
Furthermore, if an economy experiences deflation, the real interest rate will be greater than the nominal interest rate due to a negative inflation.
Mathematically, deflation is given by the formula;
Real interest rate - Nominal interest rate = - Inflation
Freedom Co. purchased a new machine on July 2, 2019, at a total installed cost of $49,000. The machine has an estimated life of five years and an estimated salvage value of $6,600. Required: Calculate the depreciation expense for each year of the asset's life using: Straight-line depreciation. Double-declining-balance depreciation. How much depreciation expense should be recorded by Freedom Co. for its fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, under each method
Answer:. See explanation
Explanation:
1. The depreciation under the straight line method will be calculated as:
= ( cost - salvage value)/no of years
= (49000 - 6600)/5
= $42400/5
= $8480 per year
2. Using the Double-declining-balance depreciation, the depreciation will be calculated thus:
Double declining rate = 8480/42400 × 2 = 40%
Yr 1: beginning book value = $49000
Depreciation rate = 40%
Depreciation = $49000 × 0.4 = $19600
Ending book value = $29400
Yr 2: beginning book value = $29400
Depreciation rate = 40%
Depreciation = $29400 × 0.4 = $11760
Ending book value = $17640
Yr3: beginning book value = $17640
Depreciation rate = 40%
Depreciation = $17640 × 0.4 = $7056
Ending book value = $10584
Yr4: beginning book value = $10584
Depreciation rate = 40%
Depreciation = $3884 Savage value
Ending book value = $6700

A deposit of $90 is placed into a college fund at the beginning of every week for 5 years. The fund earns 3% annual interest, compounded weekly, and paid at the end of the week. How much is in the account right after the last deposit
Answer:
$25,249.50
Explanation:
Deposit at the beginning of every 6 month (A) = 90
Time period (t) = 5
n = 52
Rate (r) = 3% = 0.03
So, the net amount in the account right after the last deposit is as follows:
= A * [(1+r/n)^(n*t) - 1 / r/n] * (1 + r/n)
= 90 * [(1+0.03/52)^(52*5) - 1 / 0.03/52] * (1 + 0.03/52)
= 90 * [(1.16178399147 - 1 / 0.000577] * (1+0.000577)
= 90 * 280.3882 * 1.000577
= 25249.498559226
= $25,249.50
Answer:
Explanation:
The value of the initial deposit is $90, so a1=90. A total of 260 weekly deposits are made in the 5 years, so n=260. To find r, divide the annual interest rate by 52 to find the weekly interest rate and add 1 to represent the new weekly deposit.
r=1+0.0352=1.00057692308
Substitute a1=90, n=260, and r=1.00057692308 into the formula for the sum of the first n terms of a geometric series and simplify to find the value of the annuity.
S260= 90(1−1.00057692308260) / 1−1.00057692308 ≈25238.31
Therefore, to the nearest dollar, the account has $25,238 after the last deposit is made.

A machine operates with the following production cycle: 34 minutes of setup, 70 minutes of production. While in production, the machine produces 3 parts per minute. What is the capacity of the machine in parts per minute
Answer:
The capacity of the machine is 3 parts per minunte
Explanation:
First calculate the total time
Total time = Setup time + Production time
Total time = 34 minutes + 70 minutes
Total time = 104 minutes
Calculate the total units
Total Units = Production per minute x Total Time
Total Units = 3 parts per minutes x 104 minutes
Total Units = 312 parts
Now calculate the parts per minute
Parts per minute = Total Units / Total Time
Parts per minute = 312 parts / 104 minutes
Parts per minute = 3 parts per minunte

Determine the promotional price of each item at each store. Item Original Price Discount (Dollars) $15.00 Off 40% Off (Dollars) (Dollars) A music box$75 $ $ A faux Ming vase$60.00 $ $ Suppose a friend of yours wants to buy a crystal candlestick. You remember seeing this item at both Annie's Attic and Betty's Breakables, but you do not remember the price. What advice should you give your friend in this situation
Answer:
Go to Betty breakables when the price of the crystal candle is > $37.5
Explanation:
Annie's attic offers $15 off any purchase
Betty breakables offers 40% off any purchase
For both stores
Music box = $75 ( non discounted price )
Faux Ming vase = $60 ( non discounted price )
Discounted prices for Music box
For Annie's attic = 75 - 15 = $60
For Betty breakables = 75 - ( 40% * 75 ) = $45
Discounted prices for Faux Ming vase
For Annie attic = 60 - 15 = $45
For Betty breakables = 60 - ( 40% *60 ) = $36
lets assume the price of the Crystal candle to be x
we will buy from betty breakables If 40% of x > $15 discount offered by Annie's
40/ 100 * x > 15
x > 100/40 * 15
x > 37.5
Go to Betty breakables when the price of the crystal candle is > $37.5

"If you buy a house for $250,000, the terms are 20 percent down, the annual interest rate of 2.5 percent and loan term of 35 years, what amount of money will you pay monthly? (use Loan Calculator)"
Answer:
$714.99
Explanation:
The loan calculator I used is at (https://www.firstbank.com/calculator/mortgage-loan)
I inputted the mortgage loan which is the purchase price of the house minus the down payment
down payment=$250,000*20%
down payment=$50,000
mortgage loan=$250,000-$50,000
mortgage loan=$200,000
Term=35 years
Interest rate=2.5%
Report monthly amortization=$714.99
We confirm the above using a financial calculator bearing in mind that the calculator would be set to its default end mode before making the following inputs:
N=420(number of monthly payments in 35 years=35*12=420)
I/Y=2.5/12(monthly interest rate without the "%" sign)
PV=-200000(the mortage loan)
FV=0(the loan outstanding after all monthly payments have been would be nil)
PMT=$714.99
