Answer:

5.61 years

Explanation:

Let the Present value be 'x'

Data provided in the question:

Future value = $\frac{3}{4}x$

Inflation rate, i = 5% = 0.05

Now,

Using the compounding

let number of years be n

thus,

Future value = Present value × [ 1 - inflation rate ]ⁿ

$\frac{3}{4}x$ = x × (1 - 0.05)ⁿ

or

0.75 = 0.95ⁿ

on taking log on both the sides , we get

or

log(0.75) = n × log(0.95)

or

-0.125 = n × (-0.0223)

or

n = 5.61 years

or, n = 11.89 years

Answer:

$11,510

Explanation:

Calculation for the gross margin amount from the four transactions

First is to find the Cost of goods sold

Cost of goods sold = ($13,900 - $3,400) × (100%-2%)

Cost of goods sold=$10,500*0.98

Cost of goods sold=$10,290

Last step is to find the gross margin amount using this formula

Gross margin amount=Sales revenue - Cost of goods sold

Let plug in the formula

Gross margin amount=$21,800-$10,290

Gross margin amount=$11,510

Therefore the gross margin amount from the four transactions will be $11,510

sleet_krkn [62]

Answer: 2.72%

Explanation:

An annuity is a series of payments that is made at equal intervals. Examples are monthly home mortgage payments, regular deposits to a savings account, pension payments.

Number of payment period (NPER) = 12 years

Payment per period (PMT) = $15000

Amount needed, PV = $156000

The formula for an annuity is calculated as:

P = PMT x ((1 – (1 / (1 + r) ^ -n)) / r)

= Rate(12,15000,-156000,1)

Rate = 2.72%
