Answer:

Amount deposit each year in order to reach his goal is $6292.16.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Bob wants $50,000 at the end of 7 years in order to buy a car. if his bank pays 4.2% interest, compounded annually.

To find : How much must he deposit each year in order to reach his goal?

Solution :

We apply the present value formula to get the amount,

P=\frac{FV\times(\frac{r}{n})}{(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}-1}  

Where, P is the periodic payment

r is the rate r=4.2%=0.042

n is the number of periods per year n=1

t is the time t=7 years

FV is the future value FV=50,000

Substitute in the formula,

P=\frac{50000\times(\frac{0.042}{1})}{(1+\frac{0.042}{1})^{1(7)}-1}  

P=\frac{50000\times 0.042}{(1+0.042)^{7}-1}  

P=\frac{2100}{(1.042)^{7}-1}  

P=\frac{2100}{1.3337-1}  

P=\frac{2100}{0.3337}  

P=6292.16  

Therefore, Amount deposit each year in order to reach his goal is $6292.16.

<span>The correct answer is $1452.50 per year.

Explanation:<span>
We use the formula
</span></span>P(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}+PMT(\frac{[(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}-1]}{\frac{r}{n}})\times (1+\frac{r}{n}),<span><span>

where P is the amount of principal invested, r is the interest rate as a decimal number, n is the number of times per year the interest is compounded, PMT is the monthly deposit added, and t is the number of years.

Since the amount of principal is not stated, we will assume that Bob is depositing the same amount every following year as he does the first year, so we will let PMT=P.

Our interest rate, r, is 4.2%; 4.2%=4.2/100=0.042.

The number of times the interest is compounded annually, n, is 1.
The amount of time, t, is 7.

We know he wants $50,000. This gives us the equation
50000=P(1+0.042/1)</span></span>⁽¹ˣ⁷⁾<span><span>+P{[(1+0.042/1)</span></span>⁽¹ˣ⁷⁾<span><span>]/(0.042/1)}*(1+0.042/1).

Simplifying this a bit, we have
50000=P(1.042)</span></span>⁷<span><span>+P((1.042</span></span>⁷<span><span>)/0.042)*(1.042).

We can factor out P, giving us
50000=P[1.042</span></span>⁷<span><span>+((1.042</span></span>⁷<span><span>)/0.042)*1.042].

This then gives us
50000=P(34.4234).

Divide both sides:
50000/34.4234 = (P(34.4234))/34.4234,

which gives us P=1452.50.</span></span>

bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

76 on second exam, 80 on third exam

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the total of all 3 test scores by multiplying the average by the number of elements. 81 · 3 = 243.

The first score is 83 so 243 - 83 = 160. 160 is the other two test scores combined.

To find the other 2 scores, divide 160 by 2, which is 80.

The second score is 4 less so it will be 76. The third score is 80.
