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

1 answer:

8 0

Interest is calculated as a <u>percentage of the principal</u>. With compound interest, the interest earned is <u>added back into the principle</u> 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.

Answer:

D) Tenants in common

Explanation:

To be tenants in common you must be part of a tenancy in common agreement. A tenancy in common agreement is a situation in which 2 or more people hold interest in a property and each owner has the right to leave their share of the property to a beneficiary upon their death.

This doesn’t mean you own separate parts, but that you have separate interest in the whole property.

Tenants in common can have different ownership interests, e.g. Smith may own 60% of a property and Michael may own 40%.

mixer [17]

Answer:

$11,870

Explanation:

Given:

List price = $168,000

Discount = 10%

Shipping cost = $1,000

Sales tax = $6,500

Salvage value = $40,000

Useful life = 10 years

Now,

Purchasing price = List price - Discount

Purchasing price = $168,000 - [10% × $168,000]

Purchasing price = $168,000 - $16,800

Purchasing price = $151,200

Costs that are directly related to the purchase of asset are capitalized.

Thus,

Cost = Purchasing price + Shipping costs + Sales tax

Cost = $151,200 + $1,000 + $6,500

Cost = $158,700

Now,

Annual straight line depreciation = $\frac{Cost-Residual Value}{Useful life}$

Annual straight line depreciation = $\frac{158,700 - 40,000}{10}$

Annual straight line depreciation = $\frac{118,700}{10}$

Annual straight line depreciation = $11,870
