Answer:

10.8%

Explanation:

The computation of the expected returns is shown below:

= Return in periods of normal rainfall × probability of normal rainfall + return in droughts × probability of droughts

= 20% × 60% + -3% × 40%

= 12% - 1.2%

= 10.8%

Basically we multiplied the returns with its probabilities so that the approximate expected rate of return could come.

Answer:

The total contribution margin for the firm is: $209,095

Explanation:

The contribution margin is calculated by using following formula:

Total sales = $674,500

Total variable costs  = cost of goods sold + total variable selling and administrative expense = $404,700 + $60,705 = $465,405

Contribution margin = $674,500  - $465,405 = $209,095

sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:

Missing word <em>"You are now 18 years old and are allowed to withdraw the money for the first time. The account currently has $3996 in it and pays an 8% interest rate."</em>

a.  At 18 years, future value of current amount (compounded for another 7 years at 8%)

= $3,996 * (1.08)^7

= $3,996 * 1.7138

= $6,848.34

b. At age 65, future value of this amount (compounded for another 40 years at 8%)

= $6,848.44 * (1.08)^40

= $6,848.44 * 21.7245

= $148,779.93

c. Future Value = Present Value * (1 + Interest Rate)^n

So, let initial the money deposited be represented by Y

=> $3,996 = Y * (1.08)^18

=> $3,996 = Y * 3.996

Y = $3,996 / 3.996

Y = $1,000
