Answer:

It will take her 10 years to reach the retirement goal of $69,082.

Explanation:

Annuity can be explained as a constant stream of payments made at specific and/or special interval.

From the scenario painted, $5000 represents the annuity figure, as this is expected to be made annually at a 7% interest rate. The goal is to reach $69,082 in retirement fund. The $69,082 thus represents the future annuity. The $69,082 is the future value that is expected to have aggregated over time through the constant payment of the annuity figure of $5000 at a specified interest rate. Thus, this is called future value of annuity.

To get the future value of an annuity, we simply relate the future value, annuity payment and the interest factor together.

Thus, future value= annuity * interest factor.

Future value =$69,082

Annuity=$5,000

Hence, making interest factor the subject of the formula, we have:

Interest factor=$69,082/$5,000

Interest factor= 13.82(approximation)

Therefore, looking this up on the future value of an annuity table, at the specified rate of interest - 7%, the number of years we would arrive at is 10.

Answer:

Expected Loss will be $3

Explanation:

Expected Loss can be calculated by  multiplying the probabilities to Net expected outcome.

Probabilities

Prize ( $460) = 1 / 100

Prize ( $80 ) = 2 / 100

Prize ( $20 ) = 4 / 100

No prize = 100/100 - (1+2+4)/100 = 93/100

Expected value = [( 460 - 10 ) x 1/100 ] + [( 80 - 10 ) x 2/100 ] + [( 20 - 10 ) x 4/100 ] + [( 0 - 10 ) x 93/100] = 4.5 + 1.4 + 0.4 - 9.3 = -$3

Wittaler [7]

Answer:

34 % of the people must already planning to vote for Wanda

Explanation:

Let there are 100 people in the town

It is given that Wanda will convince 25 % of people vote for her

Now let there are x people who are planning to vote Wanda

Then 100-x people are not planning to vote Wanda

She have to convince 0.25 ( 100-x) people to get 50% of the vote and to win

So 0.25(100-x)+x=50

25+0.75x=50

x = 34

So 34 % of the people must already planning to vote for Wanda

The Short-Line Railroad is considering a $100,000 investment in either of two companies. The cash flows are as follows: Year Ele
Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

a. 3 years and 3 years

b. either company can be selected

Explanation:

a. In the payback, we analyze how many years the invested amount is recovered. The computation is shown below:

= Initial investment ÷ Net cash flow

For Electric Co.

In year 0 = $100,000

In year 1 = $70,000

In year 2 = $15,000

In year 3 = $15,000

In year 4 to 10 = $10,000

If we sum the first 3 year cash inflows than it would be $100,000 which is equal to the initial investment

So, the payback period equal to

= $100,000 ÷ $100,000 = 3 years

In 3 years, the invested amount is recovered.

For Water Works

In year 0 = $100,000

In year 1 = $15,000

In year 2 = $15,000

In year 3 = $70,000

In year 4 to 10 = $10,000

If we sum the first 3 year cash inflows than it would be $100,000 which is equal to the initial investment

So, the payback period equal to

= $100,000 ÷ $100,000 = 3 years

In 3 years, the invested amount is recovered.

b. Since both the companies has same payback period so either company can be selected
