Saving period = 70 - 50 = 20 years
Number savings, n = 20*12 = 240 months
Monthly savings, P = $300
Annual interest rate = 4% = 0.04
Monthly interest rate, r = 0.04/12

If FV is the amount saved at the time of retirement,

FV = P{(1+r)^n-1)/r} = 300{(1+0.04/12)^240-1)/0.04/12} = $110,032.39

Answer:

The answer is FV = $110,032.39

Explanation:

Monthly Savings, P = $300

Saving period = 70 - 50 = 20 years

Number of months of savings, n = 20 * 12 = 240 Months

Annual interest rate = 4% = 0.04

Monthly interest rate, r = 0.04/12 = 0.0033

The formula for finding FV is as follows. Just by putting data in it, we can find the answer.

FV = P { (1+r) ^ n-1) / r }

FV = 300 { (1+0.04/12) ^ 240-1) / 0.04/12 }  

FV = $110,032.39

Changing to the successful efforts method of accounting for natural resource exploration costs.

Changing to the successful efforts method of accounting for natural resource exploration costs.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The particular technique initially underwrites the enthusiasm on explicit obligation. With financing costs on the decay, enthusiasm on lower rate obligation is promoted and more is expensed, comparative with the weighted normal technique, which underwrites at the normal rate over all obligation.

The weighted normal strategy would underwrite more enthusiasm on more established (higher loan cost) obligation, in this way diminishing the present measure of premium cost and expanding income. Expanding profit lessens the danger of rebelliousness for this firm.

STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

are never final, as managing strategy is an on-going, dynamic process.

Explanation:

In Business management, a strategy can be defined as a set of guiding principles, actions and decisions that an organization combines so as to achieve its business goals, attract customers and possess a competitive advantage over its rivals in the industry.

Business strategy sets the overall direction for the business because it focuses on defining how a business would achieve its goals, objectives, and mission; as well as the funds and material resources required to implement or execute the business plan. The components of a business strategy includes the following;

I. Value.

II. Vision.

III. Mission.

Hence, a company's direction, objectives, and strategy are never final because managing strategy is a continuum or an on-going, dynamic process. Thus, it's never a now and then task.
