Steve and Ed are cousins who both turned 25 today. Their grandfather began putting $2,500 per year into a trust fund for Steve o

n his 20th birthday, and he just made a 6th payment into the fund. The grandfather will make 40 more $2,500 payments until a 46th and final payment is made on Steve's 65th birthday. Until now, the grandfather has been disappointed with Ed, hence has not given him anything. However, they recently reconciled, and the grandfather decided to make an equivalent provision for Ed. He will make the first payment to a trust for Ed today, and he has instructed his trustee to make 40 additional equal annual payments until Ed turns 65, when the 41st and final payment will be made. If both trusts earn an annual return of 8%, how much must the grandfather put into Ed's trust today and each subsequent year to enable him to have the same retirement nest egg as Steve after the last payment is made on their 65th birthday?

Answer:

Answer A is correct

Explanation:

Step 1 find how much Steve will have when he retires:

financial calculator steps

press g 7 (to set the calculator to assume payments are made at the beginning of the period)

8 i (interest earned)

46 n (periods remaining)

-2500 pmt (payment made into the account each period)

0 PV (starting balance of account)

solve for FV

FV = $1,129,750.38

We can now use this value to solve backwards

8 i

41 n (only 41 more payments here)

0 PV (starting balance)

1,129,750.38 FV (ending value)

solve for pmt

pmt = 3,725.55 ~ 3,726 so answer A

A person with a poor self-concept is more likely to be hired for a position, because they are easier to “mould”.
Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

False.

Explanation:

Self-concept describes the kind of person or personality an individual thinks he or she has.

People that have a realistic self-concept about themselves basically see themselves as they are, not what they or the society at large wants them to be.

The statement that a person with a poor self-concept is more likely to be hired for a position, because they are easier to “mould” is false and an absolutely incorrect notion.

First of all, no organization is interested in hiring an individual with a poor self-concept because they can't add any value to the organization in the long-run.

Clarence used to work as a doctor in a federal government hospital. After retiring, he started a private clinic to continue prac
Masteriza [31]

Answer:

self-actualization

Explanation:

The answer is deeply related to "Maslows Hierarchy of Needs."

Abraham Harold Maslow is a popular American psychologist who introduced a motivational theory consisting of five stages in relation to the<em> deficiency needs and growth needs of humans.</em>

Everything starts with the deficiency needs.<u> It is very important to satisfy this need in order to engage into the growth needs.</u> For example, a boy is very thirsty. If that need will not be met, the boy will continuously crave for water. On the contrary, if this is met immediately, the boy will aim to grow as a person. This is what you call the growth needs.

This needs are presented in a pyramid.

From top to bottom:

1. Self-actualization

2. Self-esteem Needs

3. Love or Belongingness Needs

4. Safety Needs

5. Physiological Needs

It is ideal for a person to progress from Physiological Needs to Self-actualization, but it doesn't mean every stage is always met. Sometimes, fluctuations occur depending on the situation.

Regarding Clarence's case above. It was stated that he already worked as a doctor in a federal government. This means that he has already satisfied his self-esteem needs and the other needs below. Becoming a doctor is a prestige and a feeling of accomplishment. This can be found on the <u>Self-Esteem Needs </u>stage. In addition to this, <em>Clarence already reached his full potential and is seeking for personal growth and independence. </em>This is backed by the statement above that he opened a private clinic to continue his practice. This means he is already on the self-actualization stage of the hierarchy.

Suppose that you have the option to lease a new car, which you otherwise intend to purchase for $21,000. The lease terms: $3000
slava [35]

Answer:

The amount that will be paid to buy the car is $18,539.43.

Explanation:

This can be calculated using the following 3 steps:

Step 1: Calculation of the present of the monthly payment

Since the payments are made at the beginning of each month, this can be calculated using the formula for calculating the present value (PV) of annuity due given as follows:

PVM = P * ((1 - (1 / (1 + r))^n) / r) * (1 + r) .................................. (1)

Where;

PVM = Present value monthly payments = ?

P = Monthly withdraw = $298

r = monthly financing rate = Financing rate / Number of months in a year = 5.4% / 12 = 0.054 / 12 = 0.0045

n = number of months = 48

Substitute the values into equation (1), we have:

PVM = $298 * ((1 - (1 / (1 + 0.0045))^48) / 0.0045) * (1 + 0.0045) = $12,896.55

Step 2: Calculation of the present of the purchase amount at lease expiration

This can be calculated using the present value formula as follows:

PVP = P / (1 + r)^n  .................................. (2)

Where;

PVP = Present value of the purchase amount at lease expiration = ?

P = Purchase amount at lease expiration = $7000

r = monthly financing rate = Financing rate / Number of months in a year = 5.4% / 12 = 0.054 / 12 = 0.0045

n = number of months = 48

Substitute the values into equation (2), we have:

PVP = $7000 / (1 + 0.0045)^48 = $5,642.88

Step 3: Calculation of the amount that will be paid to buy the car

This can be calculated as follows:

Amount to pay to buy car = PVM + PVP ............... (3)

Where:

PVM = Present value monthly payments = $12,896.55

PVP = $5,642.88

Substitute the values into equation (3), we have:

Amount to pay to buy car = $12,896.55 + $5,642.88 = $18,539.43

Therefore, the amount that will be paid to buy the car is $18,539.43.
