P = $20, the principal in the year 1871.
A = $17,000, the value in the year 2014
t = 2014 - 1871 = 143  years, the duration.

Let r =  the yearly return on the investment.
If we assume that the compounding is performed yearly, then
P(1  + r)¹⁴³ = A
That is,
20(1 + r)¹⁴³ = 17000
(1 + r)¹⁴³ =  850
1+r=850^{1/143}= 1.0483
r = 0.0483 = 4.83%

Answer: 4.83%

Answer:

Present value of interest is $5,062 and future value is $5,796        

Explanation:

The formula for finding the Present value of the interest reported as revenue is calculated as under:

Present Value of $40,000 receivable in 2 years = $40,000 / (1+7%)^2

Present Value of $40,000 receivable in 2 years = $34,938

The difference of the future value receivable and present value of the future amount receivable is the interest's present value which is given as under:

Interest Present value = $40,000 - $34,938 = $5,062

Using the compounding formula, the future value of the interest that will be recorded in the financial statement will be = $5,062 * (1 + 7%)^2 years

Future value of interest = $5796

Activity Variance for "Travel expenses" for May would have been closest to:

$1,500 Favorable

Explanation:

Data and Calculations:

                           Fixed Element         Variable Element per  

                              per Month              Customer Served

Revenue                                                        $5,500

Employee salaries

 and wages            $46,300                         $1,000

Travel expenses                                             $ 500

Other expenses    $32,500

The Travel Expenses Activity Variance = Actual cost minus budgeted cost

= $8,500 - $10,000

= $1,500 Favorable

Actual travel expenses = ($500 x 17)

= $8,500

Budgeted travel expenses =  ($500 x 20)

= $10,000

Pattison Corporation's activity variance for Travel Expenses for the month of May is the difference between the actual travel expenses and the budgeted travel expenses.  The budgeted expenses are based on budgeted number of customers served in May while the actual expenses are based on actual number of customers served in May.
