Answer:
3.33%
Explanation:
Data provided in the question:
Real per capita GDP in South Korea in 1957 = $400
per capita GDP in South Korea in 1978 = $800
Total number of years taken to double the GDP = 21 years
Now,
Using the Rule of 70, which states that
Number of years to double the GDP = 70 ÷ (average annual economic growth rate )
thus,
21 years = 70 ÷ average annual economic growth rate
or
Average annual economic growth rate = 3.33%
Answer:
a. $10,783.68
b. $10,510.36 semi annual compounding
Explanation:
a. This question requires the present value of $26,700 given 8 years and compounded annually at 12%.
Present Value = 
Present Value = 
Present Value = $10,783.68
He would need to invest $10,783.68 today.
b. This is a duplicate of question 1 but I will solve it assuming semi-annual compounding just in case.
12% per annum would become = 12/2 = 6% per semi annum
Number of periods would become = 8 * 2 = 16 periods
Present Value =
Present Value = 
Present Value = $10,510.36
He would need to invest $10,510.36 today.
