Answer:

We notice that the more the fees increase for a constant rate of return, the number of years it takes to double on the investment also increases. For example;

a). 15.6 years

b). 20 years

c). 28 years

Explanation:

The rule of 70 is a formula that can be used to estimate the number of years it will take an investment to double up.The formula is expressed as;

Number of years to double=70/Annual rate of return

a). Given;

Annual rate of return per unit of investment=5%

Annual fees per unit of investment=0.5%

Net rate of return=Annual rate of return-Annual fees=(5%-0.5%)=4.5%

Replacing;

Number of years to double=70/Net rate of return

=70/4.5=15.555 to nearest tenth=15.6 years

b). Given;

Annual rate of return per unit of investment=5%

Annual fees per unit of investment=1.5%

Net rate of return=Annual rate of return-Annual fees=(5%-1.5%)=3.5%

Replacing;

Number of years to double=70/Net rate of return

=70/3.5=20.0 to nearest tenth=20 years

c). Given

Annual rate of return per unit of investment=5%

Annual fees per unit of investment=2.5%

Net rate of return=Annual rate of return-Annual fees=(5%-2.5%)=2.5%

Replacing;

Number of years to double=70/Net rate of return

=70/2.5=28.0 to nearest tenth=28 years

We notice that the more the fees increase for a constant rate of return, the number of years it takes to double on the investment also increases

marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

Cost of inventory =$73,280

Explanation:

The term 3/10 implies that the company would get a discount of 3% off the gross purchase price if its settles its account within 10 days of purchase. Since the payment was made 9 days after then the  discount is secured.

Net purchase price = 74,000 - (3%× 74,000)=$71780

The cost of inventory = 71,780 + 1500= 73280

Cost of inventory =$73,280
