Answer:

$24,000

Explanation:

For computing the least number of miles first we need to calculate the total annual costs for both the plans that are shown below:

For leasing: 

Fixed monthly cost = $480

So, yearly cost = $480 ×  12 = $5,760

Cost per mile = $0.04

Let x is the miles driven

So, the equation would be

= $5,760 + 0.04x ........................... (1)

Now In case of purchasing:

Fixed yearly cost = $4,800

Cost per mile = 0.08

The equation would be

= $4,800 + 0.08x ......................... (2)

Now equate these equations

So,

Cost of leasing ≤ Cost of purchasing

$5,760 + 0.04x ≤ $4,800 + 0.08x

$960 ≤ 0.04x

$24,000 ≤ x

Real per capita GDP in Singapore in 1960 was about $450, but it doubled to about $900.00 by 1977. a. What was the average annual
aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

4.16%

Explanation:

to calculate Singapore's economic growth rate we can use the future value formula (we could also use the rule of 72 but it is not very exact):

future value = present value x (1 + r) ⁿ

  • future value = 900
  • present value = 450
  • n = 17
  • r = ?

900 = 450 (1 + r)¹⁷

(1 + r)¹⁷ = 900 / 450 = 2

1 + r = ¹⁷√2 = 1.0416

r = 1.0416 - 1 = 0.0416 or 4.16%

If an individual investor uses the services of a broker to buy and sell stocks that are currently being traded in the stock mark
sergejj [24]

Answer:

a. False

Explanation:

A "primary transaction" refers to the selling of <em>new stocks and bonds</em> for the first time towards the public. A great example of this is the "Initial Public Offering" <em>(IPO)</em> which allows "public share issuance."

On the other hand, a "secondary transaction" refers to the<em> trading of investors among themselves.</em> There is no involvement of the issuing companies here. So, this means that if an investor uses the services of a broker to buy and sell stocks that are currently being traded in the stock market,<u> the transaction</u><u> doesn't directly involve the issuing compan</u><u>y.</u> This kind of transaction is then called "secondary."

So, this explains the answer.
