If Bob and Judy combine their savings of $1,260 and $975, respectively, and deposit this amount into an account that pays 2% ann
Andrew [12]

Answer:

The account balance after 4 years will be $2,420.

Explanation:

First we need to add Bob and Judy's amount to find the total amount that will be deposited. (1260+975)=2,235.

Now we will break up the annual interest into monthly interest because it will be compounded monthly. 2/12=0.166.

Then we will break up the 4 years into months also because the interest is compounded monthly. 4*12=48

Now we use the formula for compound interest

Final amount = Principal*(1+R)^N

Principal = 2,235

R= 0.166% or 0.00166

N= 48

We put these values into our formula

2,235*(1+0.00166)^48

=2,420

Lindsay and Sandy run a landscaping firm that cuts lawns and prunes trees. Lindsay is more productive than Sandy at both tasks.
ELEN [110]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

A person (or company or country) must specialize in the production of the good or service for which they possess a comparative advantage.

Lindsay has an absolute advantage in both cutting lawns and pruning trees, but that doesn't mean that she has a comparative advantage at both.
