Let:
x = amount in the account invested in 2.5%
20000 - x = amount in the account invested in 3%

Solution:
.025x + .03 (20000 - x) = 540
.025x + 600 - .03x = 540
-.005x + 600 = 540
-.005x = 540 - 600
-.005x = -60
x = 12000

Therefore, that person invests 12,000 at 2.5%
and
20,000 - 12,000 = 8,000 at 3%

<u>Answer:</u> The amount invested in first account is $12,000 and in second account is $8000

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given:

Total amount invested = $20,000

Total interest earned = $540

Let the amount invested in account 1 having 2.5 % ROI be 'x'

So, the amount invested in account 2 having 3 % ROI will be (20,000-x)

To calculate the simple interest, we use the equation:

A=\frac{PRT}{100}

For account 1:                             For account 2:

P = x                                            P = 20,000 - x

R = 2.5 %                                     R = 3 %

T = 1                                             T = 1

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\frac{x\times 2.5\times 1}{100}+\frac{(20000-x)\times 3\times 1}{100}=540\\\\0.025x+600-0.03x=540\\\\x=12000

Amount invested in account 1 having 2.5 % ROI = x = $12000

Amount invested in account 2 having 3 % ROI = (20,000 - x) = (20,000 - 12,000) = $8000

Hence, the amount invested in first account is $12,000 and in second account is $8000

lukranit [14]

Answer:

The amount in the account on the  18th birthday = $ 25,645.41

Explanation:

<em>The investment can be described as an ordinary annuity. An ordinary annuity is a series of equal periodic cash flows that  occur for a certain number of years</em>

<em>The amount the invest will accrue principal plus interest is known as the f</em><u><em>uture value</em></u><em> of the annuity</em>

It is determined as follows:

<em>FV = A ×  ( (1+r)^n -1  ) / r</em>

FV - ?,  A = 1000.  r - 4%- 0.04, n - 18

FV = 1,000× ( ( (1.04)^(18) - 1 )/ 0.04

    = 1,000 ×  25.64541288

    = $ 25,645.41

The amount in the account on the  18th birthday = $ 25,645.41

Serhud [2]

Answer:

make an adjusting entry to debit Interest Receivable and to credit Interest Revenue for the amount of interest accrued since the last interest receipt date.

Explanation:

Adjusting entries are used at the end of an accounting period to assign income and expenses that has accrued.

In this instance when the interest reciept day comes after accounting period we need to recognise the amount of interest earned so far.

The amount accrued since last interest payment date is calculated.

This amount has been earned so it should be recognised as revenue. To do this we debit interest receivable and credit interest revenue.

disa [49]

Answer:

The portfolio's expected return is 15%

Explanation:

The expected return of a portfolio is the sum of the weight of each asset times the expected return of each asset.

So, the expected return of the portfolio is:

E(RP) = 0.20(.09) + 0.60(.15) + 0.20(.21)

= 0.018 + 0.09 + 0.042

E(RP) = 0.15 or 15%

If we own this portfolio, we would expect to earn a return of 15 percent.
