<span>Annual = Years = 6.64; Actually 7 years Monthly = Years = 6.33; 6 Years, 4 months Daily = Years = 6.30; 6 Years, 111 days Continuously = 6.30; 6 Years, 110 days The formula for compound interest is FV = P*(1 + R/n)^(nt) where FV = Future Value P = Principle R = Annual interest rate n = number of periods per year t = number of years For this problem, we can ignore p and concentrate on the (1+R/n)^(nt) term, looking for where it becomes 2. So let's use this simplified formula: 2 = (1 + R/n)^(nt) With R, n, and t having the same meaning as in the original formula. For for the case of compounding annually 2 = (1 + R/n)^(nt) 2 = (1 + 0.11/1)^(1t) 2 = (1.11)^t The above equation is effectively asking for the logarithm of 2 using a base of 1.11. To do this take the log of 2 and divide by the log of 1.11. So log(2) / log(1.11) = 0.301029996 / 0.045322979 = 6.641884618 This explanation of creating logarithms to arbitrary bases will not be repeated for the other problems. The value of 6.641884618 indicates that many periods is needed. 6 is too low giving an increase of 1.11^6 =1.870414552 and 7 is too high, giving an increase of 1.11^7 = 2.076160153 But for the purpose of this problem, I'll say you double your money after 7 years. For compounding monthly: 2 = (1 + R/n)^(nt) 2 = (1 + 0.11/12)^(12t) 2 = (1 + 0.009166667)^(12t) 2 = 1.009166667^(12t) log(2)/log(1.009166667) = 0.301029996 / 0.003962897 = 75.96210258 And since the logarithm is actually 12*t, divide by 12 75.96210258 / 12 = 6.330175215 Which is 6 years and 4 months. For compounding daily: 2 = (1 + 0.11/365)^(365t) 2 = (1 + 0.00030137)^(365t) 2 = 1.00030137^(365t) log(2)/log(1.00030137) = 0.301029996 / 0.000130864 = 2300.334928 2300.334928 / 365 = 6.302287474 Continuously: For continuous compounding, there's a bit of calculus required and the final formula is FV = Pe^(rt) where FV = Future value P = Principle e = mathematical constant e. Approximately 2.718281828 r = Interest rate t = time in years Just as before, we'll simplify the formula and use 2 = e^(rt) Since we have the function ln(x) which is the natural log of x, I won't bother doing log conversions. rt = ln(2) 0.11 * t = 0.693147181 t = 0.693147181 / 0.11 t = 6.301338005</span>

Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

That the mistake resulted from an accidental clerical error and that it would be unconscionable to enforce the contract.

Explanation:

Nicole mistake is a clerical error.

An error is said to be clerical if it's a mistake that changes the meaning of a document after.

Typographical error and unintentional addition or removal of a word, phrase, or figure in the document can count as clerical error.

Mistakes like this should be readily rectified without objection by the court acting sua sponte, on its own, or on the motion of either party.

melisa1 [442]

Answer: 1. A - Describe how the individual pursuit of self-interest works to promote the interest of the public as a whole

2. A- Both Adam Smith and Karl Marx believed that humans are motivated by self-interest

Explanation:

1. According to Adam Smith who is known as the father of modern economics stated in his thesis that individual's self-interest and freedom of production as well as consumption is in the best interest of the society as a whole.

Each Individual's free exchange creates signals about which goods and services are valuable. These signals will spontaneously direct competing consumers, producers, distributors, and intermediaries—each pursuing their individual plans— to fulfill the needs and desires of others.

Smith’s invisible hand became one of the primary justifications for an economic system of free market capitalism.

2. Pairing that best describes Adam Smith's view of human motivation in a market economy and Karl Marx's view of human motivation in a communist economy: Both Adam Smith and Karl Marx believed that humans are motivated by self-interest as they both believe that the economy is a capitalist economy that all its good and services are in the hands of private individuals.
