5 0

Answer: Simple interest is calculated only on the principal amount, when compounded is calculated on the principal amount and the interests.

Explanation:

Hi, the difference between compounding and simple interest is that the simple interest is calculated only on the principal amount deposited, the original amount.

A = P (1 + rt)

In the other hand, compounded interest is calculated on the principal amount and in the accumulated interests of the different periods (interest on interest)

A = P (1 + r/n) (nt)

n is the number of times that interest is compounded per unit t

Assume that you purchase a 6-year, 8% certificate of deposit for $1,000. If interest is compounded annually, what will be the va

Dmitry [639]

Answer:

$ 1,586.8743

Explanation:

Calculation to determine what will be the value of the certificate when it matures

Compounded annually

Principal P= 1000

Rate r=0.08

Period n = 6

Using this formula

A = P (1+r)^n

Let plug in the formula

1000 (1.08)^6

= 1586.8743

Therefore what will be the value of the certificate when it matures is $1586.8743

Answer:

A) sample size = 23.475 ≈ 23

B) How to tell someone to do the test is by taking a sampling process of a lot of the products because this will help to figure out defective units in the line of production and also ensure that the quality of the products are up to the same quality required

Explanation:

Data given

AQL = 20%, = 0.2

LTPD = 52% = 0.52

Assuming consumer risk acceptable by company = 10%

producer risk = 5%

A) First we calculate the ratio

= LTPD / AQL = 0.52 / 0.2 = 2.6

from the table of LTPD/AQL 2.6 is closest to 2.768

to calculate the sample size we apply the formula from the exhibit table

n ( AQL ) = 4.695

Therefore n ( sample size ) = 4.695 / 0.2 = 23.475

You wish to earn a return of 13% on each of two stocks, X and Y. Stock X is expected to pay a dividend of $3 in the upcoming yea

Otrada [13]

Answer: D. will be less than the intrinsic value of stock Y

Explanation:

Based on the information given above, the intrinsic value of Stock X will be calculated thus:

D1 = Dividend in next year = $3

g = growth rate = 7%

r = = 13%

Therefore, intrinsic value of Stock X will be:

= D1 / (r-g)

= 3 / (13% - 7%)

= 3/6%

= 3 / 0.06

= $50

Therefore, the intrinsic value of stock X is $50.

Intrinsic value of Stock Y will b calculated thus:

D1 = $4

g = 7%

r = 13%

Intrinsic value of Stock Y will be:

= D1 / (r-g)

= 4 / (13% - 7%)

= 4/6%

= 4 / 0.06

= 66.67

Intrinsic value of Stock Y is $66.67

Therefore, the intrinsic value of Stock X will be less than the intrinsic value of Stock Y
