Answer:

present value = $57.14.28

present value = $2857.13

Explanation:

given data

perpetuity value  = $400

interest rate = 7% = 0.07

interest rate = 14% = 0.14

to find out

What is the present value

solution

we get her present value that is express as

present value = \frac{perpetuity}{rate}   ............1

put here value for rate 7% and 14%

present value = \frac{400}{0.07}

present value = $57.14.28

and

present value = \frac{400}{0.14}

present value = $2857.13

Two gamblers bet $1 each on the successive tosses of acoin. Each has a bank of $6. What is the probability that:a They break eve
strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

Part a: The probability of breaking even in 6 tosses is 0.3125.

Part b: The probability that one payer wins all the money after the 10th toss is 0.0264.

Explanation:

Part a

P(success)=1/2=0.5

P(Failure)=1/2=0.5

Now for the break-even at the sixth toss

P(Break Even)=P(3 success out of 6)

P(3 success out of 6)

=^6C_3/(2^6)\\=5/16\\=0.3125

So the probability of breaking even in 6 tosses is 0.3125.

Part b:

So the probability that one of the player wins all the money after the 10th toss is given as the tenth toss is given as a win so

Wins in 9 tosses is given as 9!/7!=72

The probability that the other person wins

Wins in 8 out of 10 tosses is given as 10!/8!(10-8)!=10!/8!2!=45

So the probability of all the money is won by one of the gambler after the 10th toss is given as

P=number of wins in 9 tosses-Number of wins in 10 tosses/total number of tosses

P=(72-45)/2^16

P=0.0264

So the probability that one payer wins all the money after the 10th toss is 0.0264.

An agreement between Jim and his 18-year-old daughter, Betty, provides that he will give her $25,000 if she does not marry until
Mariulka [41]

Answer:

No, Jim is not correct.

Explanation:

Betty will win this case.

Generally, the law encourages marriage as its policy. If there is any contract that prevent or restrict marriage in whatever way, such contract would be considered null and void because it is against the public policy.

Despite the above, contracts will be generally considered valid when they place reasonable restrictions on marriage. In this question, the restriction placed on Betty that she should get married until after her 22nd birthday is reasonable and has to be considered to be valid. Based on this, Betty has to be paid the $25,000 as laid down in the binding contract between the two parties.

Therefore, Jim is not correct.
