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

tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

In this specific scenario, the best thing for the agent to do would be to bring the information to the attention of the firm's supervisory principal named to handle such matters in a Supervisory Procedures Manual. That is because inside information or insider trading is illegal and even though it does not need to be reported to the state securities Administrator, it should still be handled by the firm's supervisory principal in order for it to be handled correctly so that the firm does not get into trouble.

Gnesinka [82]

Dr merchandise inventory $250

Cr accounts payable                        $250

kobusy [5.1K]

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>C. A media campaign by a tobacco company against a cigarette tax increase </em>

<em></em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

The Amendment to the American Constitution keeps the legislature from making laws which regard a foundation of religion, preclude the free duty of religion, or compressing the ability to speak freely, the opportunity of the press, the privilege to quietly amass, or the right to request  

A careful reading of the Amendment uncovers that it secures a few fundamental freedoms and opportunity of religion, discourse, press, request, and get together. Therefore getting to understand the correction might be a long process.

Arisa [49]

Answer:

The answers are:

A) Net profit margin rate = 16.3%

B) Gross profit margin rate = 52.4%

Explanation:

A) Net profit margin rate can be calculated using the following equation:

  • Net profit margin rate = (net income / net sales) x 100

Net profit margin rate = ($41,800 / $256,800) x 100

Net profit margin rate = 16.3%

B) Gross profit margin rate can be calculated using the following equation:

  • Gross profit margin rate = [(net sales - COGS) / net sales] x 100

Gross profit margin rate = [($256,800 - $122,300) / $256,800] x 100

Gross profit margin rate = 52.4%
