The compound interest is 8.775%.

interest = p.

p is principal, i is the interest rate, and n is the periods. Inthis case, p is 2 and the interest is .8. (We can divide both sides by a million to make it simpler.) The number of periods is 4.

.8 = (2)(i)(4)

.8 = 8i

i = 10%. (solution)

Compound interest, again, is

interest = p [(1+r)^m - 1]

This time we can't cancel out the p by default. We must divide by 2if we want to avoid multiplying through. After doing so, we add 1to both sides.

1.4 = (1+r)^4

Log both sides.

log(1.4) = 4log(1+r)

log(1.4) / 4 = .0365 = log(1+r)

10^.0365 = 1 + r

1.08775 - 1 = r

r = 8.775%.

valina [46]

Answer:

C. The present value of cash flows in Investment A is higher than the present value of cash flows in Investment B.

Explanation:

Typically, discount rate represents cost of capital or funds used to finance the investment. This implies that the higher the cost of capital , the lower the present value of cash inflow on the investment and vice-versa.

Hence, the present value of cash flows in Investment A is higher than the present value of cash flows in Investment B,  because A has a lower discount rate.

Based on the following information, what would be recorded as purchases discount if the invoice is paid within the discount peri
lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

$30

Explanation:

2/10 net 30 means the supplier extends 30 days credit to the purchaser. If the payment is made between 10 days and 30 days, no discount is allowed.

However if the payment is made within 10 days, 2% of net purchase price would be allowed as a discount by the supplier.

Now, Net Purchases = Total invoice price - freight - purchases returns

Net Purchases =  $2150 - $150 - $ 500

Net Purchases= $1500

Rate of discount = 2%

Purchases discount = 2% of 1500= $30 will be allowed if the payment is made within the discount period.
