A customer invests 50000. 10 years later, the investment is worth 100000. the customers annual compouned rate of return is?

9966 [12]

<u>Answer:</u> The rate of interest is 7.18 %

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the rate of interest, we use the equation used for the interest compounded monthly follows:

$A=P(1+\frac{R}{n})^{nT}$

A = Amount after time period 'T' = $100,000

P = Principal amount = $50,000

R = rate of interest = ?

n = Number of times interest applied per time period = 1 (annually)

T = time period = 10 years

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$100,000=50,000(1+\frac{R}{1})^{1\times 10}\\\\R=0.0718$

Calculating the rate of interest in percentage:

$\Rightarrow R\times 100=0.0718\times 100=7.18\%$

Hence, the rate of interest is 7.18 %

In a homogeneous-good Cornet model where each of the n firms has a constant marginal cost m and the market demand curve is p = a

Jlenok [28]

Answer:

$Q=nq=\frac{n}{n+1}\frac{a-c}{b}$

if n=1 (monopoly) we have $Q^M=\frac{1}{2}\frac{a-c}{b}$

if n goes to infinity (approaching competitive level), we get the competition quantity that would be $Q^c=\frac{a-c}{b}$

Explanation:

In the case of a homogeneous-good Cournot model we have that firm i will solve the following profit maximizing problem

$Max_{q_i} \,\, \Pi_i=(a-b(\sum_{i=1}^n q_i)-m)q_i$

from the FPC we have that

$a-b\sum_{i=1}^n q_i -m -b q_i=0$

$q_i=\frac{a-b \sum_{i=2}^n q_i-m}{2b}$

since all firms are homogeneous this means that $q_i=q \forall i$

then $q=\frac{a-b (n-1) q-m}{2b}=\frac{a-m}{(n+1)b}$

the industry output is then

$Q=nq=\frac{n}{n+1}\frac{a-c}{b}$

if n=1 (monopoly) we have $Q^M=\frac{1}{2}\frac{a-c}{b}$

if n goes to infinity (approaching competitive level), we get the competition quantity that would be $Q^c=\frac{a-c}{b}$

Below are approximate amounts related to retained earnings reported by five companies in previous years. Coca-Cola reports an in

NemiM [27]

Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

1. Amount of dividends of Coca-Cola is

= net income - Increase in retained earnings

= $6.9 billion - $3.2 billion

= $3.7 billion

2. Amount of net income of PepsiCo is

= Increase in retained earnings + dividend paid

= $3.4 billion + $2.6 billion

= $6 billion

3. The amount of dividends of Alphabet is

= net income - Increase in retained earnings

= $1.6 billion - $1.6 billion

= $0 billion

4. Amount of ending retained earnings of Sirius XM Satellite is

= Beginning retained earnings - net loss - dividend

= -$1.6 billion - $1 billion - $0

= -$2.6 billion

5. The amount of beginning retained earnings of Abercro is

= Ending retained earnings - net income + dividend

= $1.56 billlion - $0.43 billion + $0.06 billion

= $1.19 billion
