Explanation:

Microsoft is a giant technology company with worldwide influence.

Its success and reputation have ensured the company the position of the most valuable company in the world by market capital.

Technological companies, should focus on innovation, as each day more advances in technology appear to correct possible system errors, make the user's performance and use better and make production costs cheaper.

Andrew [12]

Answer:

A. If the motor scooter is sold for $2.480, then the net present value (NPV) for the product will be zero.

cupoosta [38]

Answer:

Taylor can withdrawn 1,374.20 dollars each month

Explanation:

Timeline:

deposits of 444 for 20 years = withdrawals of X for 15 years

<-----/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/---\\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\->

We must calcualte amount to satisfy:

future value of his deposits = present value of his withdrawals

We first need to get the future value of the retirement account

and then the PMT this fund can do.

<u>deposits future value:</u>

$C \times \frac{(1+r)^{time} -1}{rate} = FV\\$

C $ 444

time 240 (20 years x 12 months er year)

rate 0.003333333 ( 0.04 annual rate / 12 months = monthly rate)

$444 \times \frac{(1+0.003333333)^{240} -1}{0.003333333} = FV\\$

FV $162,847.9340

<u>withdrawals PMT:</u>

$PV \div \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = C\\$

PV $162,847.93

time 180

rate 0.005

$162847.93 \div \frac{1-(1+0.005)^{-180} }{0.005} = C\\$

C $ 1,374.203
