Answer:

2.49%

Explanation:

The period 't' between 2015 and 1885 is:

t = 2015 -1885 = 130\ years

The annual rate 'r' at which the original $0.02 value has been compounded over 130 years to reach a value of $0.49 is determined by:

0.49 = 0.02*(1+r)^{130}\\r=\sqrt[130]{24.5}-1\\ r=0.0249 = 2.49\%

The cost of​ first-class postage has experienced an annual increase of 2.49% over this period.

timama [110]

Answer:

$775.61

Explanation:

To calculate the monthly payments, you can use the following formula:

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

P= Payment

PV= Present value: $17,500

r=interest rate: 6%/12= 0.5%

n= number of periods: 24

P= (0.005*$17,500)/(1-((1+0.005)^-24))

P= 87.5/0.112814

P= $775.61

The amount of the monthly payments is $775.61.
