You want to have $3 million in real dollars in an account when you retire in 40 years. The nominal return on your investment is
sasho [114]

Answer: $25078

Explanation:

Firstly, we'll find the real interest rate which will be:

(1 + R) = (1 + r)(1 + h)

(1 + 10%) = (1 + r)(1 + 4.8%)

(1 + 0.1) = (1 + r)(1 + 0.048)

1.1 = (1 + r)(1.048)

r = 4.96%.

Now the annual deposit will be gotten by using the annuity future value which will be:

3 million = C(1.0496^40-1) / 0.0496

3 million = C(5.3995) / 0.0496

3 million = 119.627C

C = 3 million/119.627

C = 25078

Therefore, the real amount that must be deposited each year to achieve the goal is $25078

Explanation:

Inventory forecast is a way of predicting the volume of inventory required to fulfill future orders based on the existing production capacity and other plans relating to production

equation for forecasting inventory = $22 + 0.125 sales

Current sales = $300 million

Annual sales growth rate =32%

sales for next year = 300 + (300*32%)

300 + 96= $396 million

Applying the equation

Inventory = $22 + (0.125*396)

$22 + $49.5 = $71.5 million
