Answer:

C. $538,021.66

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that the money Seth withdraws was compounded every quarter for 35 years. So, we get,

Amount withdrawn every quarter, P = $4567

Rate of interest, r  = \frac{0.0101}{4} = 0.002525

Time period, n = 35 × 4 = 140

Now, as we know the formula for annuity as,

P=\frac{r \times PV}{1-(1+r)^{-n}}

where P = installments, PV = present value, r = rate of interest and n = time period.

This gives, PV=\frac{P \times [1-(1+r)^{-n}]}{r}

i.e. PV=\frac{4567 \times [1-(1+0.002525)^{-140}]}{0.002525}

i.e. PV=\frac{4567 \times [1-(1.002525)^{-140}]}{0.002525}

i.e. PV=\frac{4567 \times [1-0.7021]}{0.002525}

i.e. PV=\frac{4567 \times 0.2975}{0.002525}

i.e. PV=\frac{1358.68}{0.002525}

i.e. PV=538,091.08

So, the closest answer to initial value of the account is $538,021.66

Hence, option C is correct.

A=P \frac{1-(1+ \frac{r}{t} )^{-nt}}{ \frac{r}{t} }; where A is the initial value, P is the periodic withdrawal, r is the rate, t is the number of compounding in a year, n is the number of years.

A=P \frac{1-(1+ \frac{r}{t} )^{-nt}}{ \frac{r}{t} }  \\ =4,567 \times \frac{1-(1+ \frac{0.0101}{4} )^{-35 \times 4}}{ \frac{0.0101}{4} } \\ =4,567 \times \frac{1-(1+ 0.002525)^{-140}}{ 0.002525 } \\ =4,567 \times \frac{1-(1.002525)^{-140}}{ 0.002525 } \\ =4,567 \times \frac{1-0.7025}{ 0.002525 } \\ =4,567 \times \frac{0.2975}{ 0.002525 } \\ =4,567 \times 117.8 \\ =$538,021.66
Therefore, initial value = $538,021.66

You are to manufacture a rectangular box with 3 dimensions x, y and z, and volume v=8000. Find the dimensions which minimize the
Inga [223]

Answer:

20 by 20 by 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total surface of the rectangular box be expressed as S = 2xy + 2yz + 2xz

x is the length of the box

y is the width and

z is the height of the box.

S = 2xy + 2yz + 2xz ... 1

Given the volume V = xyz = 8000 ... 2

From equation 2;

z = 8000/xy

Substituting into equation 1;

S = 2xy + 2y(8000/xy)+ 2x(8000/xy)

S = 2xy+16000/x+16000/y

Differentiating the resulting equation with respect to x and y will give;

dS/dx = 2y + (-16000x⁻²)

dS/dx = 2y - 16000/x²

Similarly,

dS/dy = 2x  + (-160000y⁻²)

dS/dy = 2x - 16000/y²

Note that at the turning point, ds/dx = 0 and ds/dy = 0, hence;

2y - 16000/x² = 0 and 2x - 16000/y² = 0

2y = 16000/x² and 2x = 16000/y²

2y = 16000/(8000/y²)²

2y = 16000×y⁴/64,000,000

2y = y⁴/4000

y³ = 8000

y =³√8000

y = 20

Given 2x = 16000/y²

2x = 16000/20²

2x = 16000/400

2x = 40

x = 20

Since Volume of the box is V = xyz

8000 = 20(20)z

8000 = 400z

z = 8000/400

z = 20

Hence, the dimensions which minimize the surface area of this box is 20 by 20 by 20.
