Given:
Future value, F=60508.29
Monthly payment, A = 165
Compounding period = month
Number of periods, n = 12*12=144
interest per period = i [ to be found ]
We have the relationship
F=A((1+i)^n-1)/i
but there is no explicit formula for i for given F, A and n.
We need to solve a non-linear equation for the value of i, the monthly interest rate.
One of the ways is to solve it by fixed iteration, i.e.
1. using the given relation, express i in terms of other parameters.
2. select an initial value of i
3. evaluate i according the equation in step 1 until the value is stable.
Here we will use the relationship to express
i=((60508.29*i)/165+1)^(1/144)-1 [ notice that i is on both sides of = sign ]
using an initial value of i=0.01 (about 1% per month).
Successively, we get
i=((60508.29*0.01)/165+1)^(1/144)-1=0.01075571
i=((60508.29*0.01075571)/165+1)^(1/144)-1=0.011160681, similarly
i=0.0113685
i=0.0114728
i=0.0115246
i=0.0115502
i=0.0115628
i=0.0115690
i=0.0115720
Assuming the above has stablilized, and the APR is 12 time the above value, namely
Annual percentage rate = 0.01157205998210142*12=0.13886=13.89%
Answer:
$113,000
Explanation:
As we know ,
Working capital = Total current assets - total current liabilities
where,
Total current assets = Accounts receivable + cash + inventory + marketable securities + prepaid expenses
= $35,000 + $25,000 + $72,000 + $36,000 + $2,000
= $170,000
And, the total current liabilities = Accounts payable + accrued liabilities + short term notes payable
= $30,000 + $7,000 + $20,000
= $57,000
Now put the values to the above formula
So, the value would be equal to
= $170,000 - $57,000
= $113,000
Answer:
1 year rate 2 year from now = 12% (Approx)
Explanation:
Given:
1-year rate = 8%
2-year rate = 9%
3-year rate = 10%
Computation:
According to Pure Expectations Hypothesis,
(1 + 3-year rate)³ = (1 + 2-year rate)² (1 + 1 year rate 2 year from now)
(1.10)³ = (1 + 1.09)²(1 + 1 year rate 2 year from now)
1.331 = 1.1881 (1 + 1 year rate 2 year from now)
(1 + 1 year rate 2 year from now) = 1.12
1 year rate 2 year from now = 0.12
1 year rate 2 year from now = 12% (Approx)
Answer:
The answer is: B) He should check out the enterprise zones in Arizona
Explanation:
Enterprise zones were created to attract new businesses and investments to certain urban areas by offering tax concessions, infrastructure incentives and reduced regulations. Companies usually can locate for free there (some give out land to businesses for free), and the business don't have to pay certain taxes for doing so (usually local and/or state taxes, but sometimes even some federal taxes).
Answer:

Explanation:
We want to know the value of
when 

From here, we can find the factors of the quadratic equation, we need two numbers that multiplied give -400 and added -30. Since they are factors of 400, we can choose -20x20 or -40x10. When adding -20 and 20 the result is zero, but the sum of -40 and 10 is -30. Then:

The solutions of the quadratic equation are
and
:

Since
is a positive integer:
