You're trying to save to buy a new $230,000 Ferrari. You have $32,000 today that can be invested at your bank. The bank pays 5.5
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

37 years

Explanation:

We know,

Future value = Present value (1 + r)^n

Given,

Future value, FV = $230,000;

Present value, PV = $32,000;

Interest rate, r = 5.5% = 0.055;

We have to determine how many years later I can purchase the Ferrari.

Now, putting the values into the formula, we get,

FV = PV × (1 + r)^n

or, $230,000 = $32,000 × (1 + 0.055)^n

or, $230,000 ÷ $32,000 = (1 + 0.055)^n

or, 7.1875 = (1 + 0.055)^n

or, log 7.1875 = n × log 1.055

or, n × log 1.055 = log 7.1875 [Changing the side]

or, n = log 7.1875 ÷ log 1.055

Using financial calculator/Scientific Calculator,

or, n = 0.8566 ÷ 0.0233

Therefore, n = 36.76 or almost 37 years.

Anon25 [30]

Answer:

$124,966.9

Explanation:

The computation of the market or resale value is shown below:

$100,000 = $10,000 ÷ (1.15^1) + $10,000 ÷ (1.15^2) + $10,000 ÷ (1.15^3) + $10,000 ÷ (1.15^4) + Resale value  ÷ (1.15^4)

$100,000 = $8695.65 + $7561.44 + $6575.16 + $5717.53 + Resale value ÷ 1.749006

Resale value ÷1.749006 = $71,450.22

So, the resale value is  = $124,966.9

We simply applied the present value formula
