Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

2.96% will be effective rate of the investment

Explanation:

First year:

1,000 x 1 + 10%) = 1,100

<em><u>Second year: </u></em>

1,100 + 3,000 = 4,100 invesmtent balance

4,100 x (1  - 5%) = 3,895

<em><u>Third year:</u></em>

3,895 + 2,000 = 5,895

5,895 x (1 + 2%) = 6012.9

<em><u>Fourth year:</u></em>

6012.9 + 500 = 6512.9

6,512.9 x (1+ 8%)  =  7033.932

We calcualte rate that is equivalent with the following cash flow:

1,000 (1+r)^4 + 3,000  (1+r)^3 +  2,000(1+r)^2 +  500(1+r) = 7,033.93

We solve using excel goal seek

A couple thinking about retirement decide to put aside $2,100 each year in a savings plan that earns 7% interest. In 10 years th
Marina86 [1]

Answer:

310,588.5

Explanation:

As is not said we can assume the 2,100 each year to be paid at the end of the year, and the 7% to be used as a compunded anually rate. So let´s first think just about the 2,100, as they are regulary payments, they can be seen as an anuity inmediate, the formula is as follows:

s_{n}=p*\frac{(1+i)^{n}-1 }{i}

where sn is the future value of the regular payments, i is the interest rate and n is the number of payments and p is the amount of regular payment so in this particular case we have:

s_{n}=2,100*\frac{(1+0.07)^{30}-1 }{0.07}

s_{n}==198,367.65

So now let´s think on the gift of 29,000 as it is paid on 10 years, there will remain 20 years with an investment rate of 7% compounded anually. so there we have the classic formula of future value

FV=VP*(1+i)^{n}

where FV is the future value, PV is the present value, i is the interest rate per period, and n is the number of periods. Again in this particular case we have:

FV=29,000*(1+0.07)^{20}

FV=112,220.85

so the total amont will be:

total=198,367.65+112,220.85

total=310,588.5

Which of the following is true of economies in the base of the global economic pyramid? a. They are composed of developed econom
satela [25.4K]

Answer:

The answer is: D) They attract the largest FDI from MNEs. If you consider FDI´s share of the country´s GDP

Explanation:

The countries that are located in the base of the global economic pyramid are all underdeveloped and poor countries, so no North America, Europe, Japan, China, or Australia. If you consider the total nominal amount of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) by Multinational Enterprises (MNEs) in the world, the countries that receive the most of them usually have large economies or high GDP per capita (only Brazil is an exception) like the US, China, Belgium, Canada, France, Russia, Singapore, etc.

But if you consider FDI as a percentage of a country´s GDP the list of receiving countries varies a lot. The following is the list of the 10 countries with the greatest share of FDI to GDP in 2011 (UN 2011 report)

  1. Liberia
  2. Mongolia
  3. Hong Kong SAR (China)
  4. Sierra Leone
  5. Luxembourg
  6. Singapore
  7. Congo republic
  8. Belgium
  9. Chad
  10. Guinea

In this list you can find 6 countries that are extremely poor but very rich in natural resources (in this case minerals). So if consider the relative size of FDI in those economies, then it´s huge. Most FDI done on poor countries is directed to mining or oil corporations.

Lorico [155]

Answer:

The actual cash value a person would receive for a $4,500 destroyed furniture would be:

$3,000

Explanation:

Actual cash value is a method to calculate the value of an insured good. Its formula goes like this: Original value minus the original value divided by the years covered multiplied by two. In our case this would be 4,500-[4,500 / 6 x 2] giving us as result the following operation 4,500- 1500 = 3,000.
