<span> <span>Solution:

A = P(1+r)^n

where,
A = amount
P = principal
r = rate of interest
n = number of years

Putting values in the formula,

8850 = 2750(1+0.08)^n

8850/2750 = (1+0.08)^n
log will be used to solve "n" as it is in the exponent form, which gives,

log(8850/2750) = n log(1+0.08)

By solving, we get n = log(8850/2750) / log(1+0.08)

Using financial calculator, value comes as 15.187 rounded to 15.19.

So, he will have to wait for 15.19 years to take holidays as it will take 15.19 years to make $8850 from $2750 @ 8% annual compounding.</span> </span>

melisa1 [442]

Answer:

Fixed deferred annuity

Explanation:

Fixed deferred annuity is a form of saving investment where interest is paid on the invested amount at a rate set by the investment company and defined in the contract , and the interest can be deferred into the future till a withdrawal is made from the annuity contract.

Taxes are not paid but deferred until withdrawal which allows the opportunity to  control when to pay taxes , a good investment sense for long term investment.

This makes it a good investment for a risk adverse investor who will not require investment income until later years but its main goal is retirement income and preservation of capital.

enot [183]

Answer:

The answer is: 30 to 40%, according to satellite imagery

Explanation:

Satellite imagery is the most reliable way to try to determine what percentage of the Earth's land is used for agriculture. First and most important, the world is huge and only satellites have the technology to take images of continents and differentiate what possible use is given to them.

Government's surveys and records are no very reliable since you would need to use information from all the governments in the world including democratic countries and nations with dictatorships.
