If the required rate of return is 7.2%, no such security shall be purchased.

<h3>What does the required rate of return mean?</h3>

The required rate of return is the expected percentage of returns on investment at the time the investment is made. The required rate of return, in this case, is 7.2%.

The actual returns earned from purchasing the security for $8000 and receiving returns of $3600 are calculated to be around a 3.6% return.

As a result, if the required rate of return on investment is 7.2%, the security should not be purchased.

Jeff, a local traffic​ engineer, has designed a new pedestrian foot bridge that is capable of handling the current traffic rate
Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

a. How long will the current bridge system work before a new bracing system is​ required?: 64.18 years or 64 years and 2 months.

b. What if the annual traffic rate increases at 8 ​% ​annually: The bracing system will last for 24.65 years or 24 years and 7 months.

c. At what traffic increase rate will the current system last only 12 ​years: 17.13%

Explanation:

a. Denote x is the time taken for the number of pedestrian to grow from 300 to 2000. The current pedestrian is 300, the grow rate per year is 3% or 1.03 times a year. Thus, to reach 2,000, we have the equation: 300 x 1.03^x = 2000. Show the equate, we have 1.03^x = 6.67 <=> x = 64.18

b.  Denote x is the time taken for the number of pedestrian to grow from 300 to 2000. The current pedestrian is 300, the grow rate per year is 8% or 1.08 times a year. Thus, to reach 2,000, we have the equation: 300 x 1.08^x = 2000. Show the equate, we have 1.08^x = 6.67 <=> x = 24.65.

c. Denote x as traffic increase rate. The current pedestrian is 300, the grow rate per year is (1+x) times a year. Thus, to reach 2,000 after 12 years and thus a new bracing system to be in place, we have the equation: 300 x (1+x)^12 = 2000. Show the equate, we have (1+x)^12 = 6.67 <=> 1+x = 1.1713 <=> x = 17.13%.
