Why do you earn more money using compound interest than you would using simple interest?

1 answer:

8 0

Interest is calculated as a percentage of the principal. With compound interest, the interest earned is added back into the principle so during the next period you start earning interest on the new, higher amount. Every time the interest compounds, it gets added into the principal and you earn more and more interest.

Example:

10% simple interest on $100:

(.1 * 100) +100 = 10 + 100 = $110

But if you do 10% interest compounding monthly for 3 months you have:

Month 1: (.1 * 100) +100 = 10 + 100 = $110

Month 2: (.1*110) +110 = $121

Month 3: (.1*121) + 121 = $133.10

Even with this simple example you can see how much more money is earned when your interest is compounded and added back into the principal.

National income accountants can avoid multiple counting by1. only counting intermediate goods. 2. only counting final goods.3. i

lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

2. Only counting final goods

Explanation:

When defining national income accounting and terminolgies, emphasis is always laid on "...total value of FINAL goods...". This is as a result of avoiding double counting. If intermediate goods were counted alongside final goods, it would be double counting because intermediate goods are used in producing those final goods. Final goods are good meant for final consumption. The other method used in avoiding double counting ( counting of the value of the same product more than once) apart from counting final gooda is Value added approach.

A manufacturing company that has only one product has established the following standards for its variable manufacturing overhea

Butoxors [25]

Answer:

b. $1,144 unfavourable.

Explanation:

The computation of the variable overhead efficiency variance is shown below:

= (Actual Hours - Standard Hours) × Standard rate per hour

=(1,700 - 8.1 × 200 units) × $14.30

= 80 × $14.30

= $1,144 unfavorable

hence, the variable overhead efficiency variance is $1,144 unfavorable

Therefore the option b is correct

Explanation:

Stock Company

Equivalent units

Particulars Units % of Completion Equivalent Units

Mat. Conversion Mat. Conversion

Transferred Out 23000 100 100 23000 23000

Ending WIP 3000 100 331/3% 3000 999.9= 1000

Total Equivalent units 26000 24000

The Equivalent units can be calculated either by adding the units transferred out and ending WIP or by adding beginning WIP and units started.

Equivalent units for materials 26000

and Equivalent units for conversion are: 24000

sergejj [24]

Answer:

The answer is C.

Explanation:

Reducing tax rate according to supply - side policy creates demand pull inflation.

Demand pull inflation is a situation whereby people have more buying power due to the availability of cash thereby leading to high demand and consequentially leading to an increase in the price of goods and services by suppliers.

That is the process where demand outplays supply due to the high purchasing power thereby causing price to increase which is the demand pull inflation effect.

Consider an economy described by the following equations:

Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

a. exchange rate = 1

b. exchange rate = 1.5

Explanation:

(a) National Saving = Private saving + public saving

Private saving = Y - C - T

=> Private saving = 5000 - (250 + 0.75(Y – T)) - 1000

=> Private saving = 5000 - (250 + 0.75(5000 – 1000)) - 1000 = 750

Public saving = T - G = 1000 - 1000 = 0

National saving = 750 + 0

= 750

Investment = 1000 - 50r = 1000 - 50*5

= 750

Y = C + I + G + NX

Trade Balance = Y - C - G - I = 5000 - (250 + 0.75(5000 – 1000)) - 1000 - 750 = 0

Thus Trade Balance = 0

NX = 0 => NX = 500 – 500e = 0

=> e = 1

Thus exchange rate = 1

(b)

National Saving = Private saving + public saving

Private saving = Y - C - T

=> Private saving = 5000 - (250 + 0.75(Y – T)) - 1000

=> Private saving = 5000 - (250 + 0.75(5000 – 1000)) - 1000 = 750

Public saving = T - G = 1000 - 1250 = -250

National saving = 750 - 250

= 500

Investment = 1000 - 50r = 1000 - 50*5

= 750

Y = C + I + G + NX

Trade Balance = Y - C - G - I = 5000 - (250 + 0.75(5000 – 1000)) - 1250 - 750 = -250

Thus Trade Balance = -250

NX = -250 => NX = 500 – 500e = -250

=> e = 750/500 = 1.5

Thus exchange rate = 1.5
