<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>

A candy store sells boxes of candy containing caramels and cremes. Each box sells for $12.50 and hold 30 pieces of candy (all pi
evablogger [386]

Answer:

Number of caramels = 20

number cremes = 30 - 20 = 10

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Selling cost of each box = $12.50

Number of pieces of candies held in a box = 30

Cost of producing caramel = $0.25

Cost of producing cremes = $0.45

Now,

let the number of caramels be 'x'

Thus,

Number of cremes = 30 - x

Profit = Selling price - Cost

3 = $12.50 - [ 0.25x + 0.45(30 - x) ]

or

[ 0.25x + 0.45(30 - x) ] = 12.50 - 3

or

0.25x + 13.5 - 0.45x = 9.50

or

-0.20x = 9.50 - 13.5

or

-0.20x = - 4

or

x = 20

Hence,

Number of caramels = 20

number cremes = 30 - 20 = 10

vlabodo [156]

Answer:

A) gross national product (GNP)

Explanation:

The gross domestic product (GDP) measures the market value of the total production of final goods and services produced within a country during a year.

The GNP is different because it measures the market value of the total production of goods and services produced by the people or businesses of a country within a year. For example, sales of Apple products in Europe do not increase the GDP, but they increase the GNP.

Suppose you are buying your first condo for $145,000, and you will make a $15,000 down payment. You will finance the remainder w
postnew [5]

Answer:

$819.98

Explanation:

After making downpayment, the remaining amount is $145,000 - 15000 = $130,000

Using financial calculator:

PV = 130,000

n = 30 years = 360 months

i/r = 6.5%/year = 0.54% / month

FV = 0

PMT = ? (Monthly payment = ?)

--> Monthly payment = $819.98

gladu [14]

Answer:

23.08%

Explanation:

The computation of the debt ratio is shown below:

Debt amount

= 2 million × 0.90

= 1.80 million

And,

Equity amount

= 2 million × 3

= 6 million

Now

debt ratio = debt amount  ÷ (amount of debt + amount of equity)

= 1.80 million ÷ ( 6 million + 1.80 million)

= 23.08%

Dimas [21]

Answer:

From the calculation below Up-Towne Movers just paid a dividend of $3.13

Explanation:

The price of share=D1/r-g

The Do is the dividend just paid which is the unknown in the equation

g is the dividend growth rate of 4.3%

r is the required return of 11.1%

The share price is $46.00

$46=Do/(11.1%-4.3%)

46=Do/0.068

by cross-multiplication the equation becomes

$46*0.068 =Do

Do=$46*0.068

Do=$3.13

The dividend just paid by Up-Towne Movers is $3.13 as calculated above from the share price equation
