The effective interest rate is calculated through the equation,
ieff = (1 + i/r)^r - 1
where ieff is the effective interest, i is the nominal interest, and r is the number of 15 weeks in a year. Every year, there are 52 weeks. Thus, there are 3.467 15-weeks approximately. Substituting this into the equation,
ieff = (1 + 0.04/3.467)^3.467 - 1
ieff = 0.04057
ieff = 4.057%
Answer:
3 percent which is $30
Explanation:
The real value of money is measured against a basket of goods or services, or against a particular product or service. The real value is adjusted for inflation. In other words, the real value of money is its nominal value adjusted for inflation.
If the bank pays an interest rate of 4 percent, which leads to an increase of savings from $1000 to $1040, should prices increase by 1 percent, then the real value of money has increased by 3 percent. One percent increase in prices represents inflation. Keeping $1000 in the bank will earn a 3 percent real value or $30.
Answer:
$778.05625
Explanation:
The computation of the amount of repayment is shown in the attachment below:
Given that
Proceeds for year 4 through 9 at $2Z, $3Z
The Principal of the loan amount = $10,000
Interest rate = 7% per year
Based on the given information, the value of Z or the amount of repayment is
= Principal of the loan amount ÷ Total annuity
= $10,000 ÷ 12.85254119
= $778.05625
Answer:
1) Household consumption, which accounts for about <u>68%*</u> of the economy, grew at a 4.2% annualized rate during the second quarter of 2016.
*Data obtained from federal government sources.
2) Since household/consumer spending (consumption) represents almost 70% of the nation's GDP, any change will cause a major change in the total GDP. E.g. if consumption increases by 5%, then the whole economy will grow by 5% x 68% = 3.4%.
