Two manufacturing firms, located in cities 90 miles apart. Both send their trucks four times a week to the other city full of ca

Explanation:

Single trip Truck Operating Cost = Distance \times Per mile Cost = 90×1.2 = 108

Single Round Trip Truck Cost Operating Cost = Single Trip Truck Operating Cost  \times 2 = 108×2 = 216

Since, Single Round Truck trip takes 1 day and driver cost given in days, we can calculate the total cost by the following formula:

Single Round Truck Trip Total Cost = Single Round Trip Truck Cost Operating Cost + Driver Salary = 216 +275 = 491

Weekly Transportation cost to each manufacturing firm = No of Round Trip \times Round Trip Cost = 4×491 = 1964

Now, if each manufacturer send its truck twice a week and hauled the other firm's cargo on the return trip, then

New Weekly Transportation cost to each manufacturing firm = 2 \times Round Trip Cost = 2 × 491 = 982

So, Weekly saving = 1964 - 982 = 982

Find the total amount Suzanne has in a college savings account if $5000 was invested and earned 3% compounded quarterly for six
shtirl [24]

Answer:

A = 598207\ cents

Explanation:

Given

Principal, P = \$5000

Rate, r = 3\%

Time, t = 6\ years

n = Quarterly =4

Required

Determine the total amount

This can be calculated by using:

A = P(1 + \frac{r}{n})^{nt}

Substitute P = \$5000    r = 3\%    t = 6\ years     n =4

So;

A = 5000 * (1 + \frac{3\%}{4})^{4* 6}

Convert percentage to decimal

A = 5000 * (1 + \frac{0.03}{4})^{4* 6}

A = 5000 * (1 + 0.0075)^{4* 6}

A = 5000 * (1.0075)^{4* 6}

A = 5000 * (1.0075)^{24}

A = 5000 * 1.19641352939

A = 5982.06764695

<em>Since 1 dollar is equivalent to cents, then the above in cents is;</em>

<em />A = 5982.06764695 * 100<em />

<em />A = 598206.764695<em />

<em />A = 598207\ cents<em> --- Approximated</em>
