Answer:

False

Explanation:

Natalie can return the washing machine without being liable for any replacement costs. Natalie is a minor, and minors cannot legally sign a contract except for purchasing necessities, e.g. food, clothes.  

Since the washing machine probably had a significant cost, there should have been a written contract between the parties. The rental company should have requested Natalie some type of legal identification before renting the washing machine and signing the contract. Their only possible defense is that Natalie used a forged ID when she rented the machine, and that they were ticked by it.

But if the rental company cannot prove that Natalie tricked them using some fake ID, then Natalie has the right to void the contract and return the item. It doesn't matter if the washing machine suffered damages or not, Natalie is not liable for any reparation or replacement costs.

Future value of total improvement cost = $1,788,552.44

Explanation:

As per the data given in the question,

Regular deposit amount = $250,000

No. of period = 5 years

Interest rate = 18%

Future value = Regular deposit amount × [((1+interest rate per period)^no. of period - 1) ÷ interest rate per period]

= $1,788,552.44

Future value of total improvement cost = $1,788,552.44

Quinton wants you to calculate his biweekly paycheck. How much would he earn each pay period if he has an annual salary of $55,5
koban [17]
$2,134.62.

There are approximately 52 weeks in a given year, meaning that there are 52/2, or 26, biweekly pay periods. Therefore, we divide the annual salary of $55,500 by 26 biweekly pay periods to get $2,134.62 for the biweekly paycheck. 

The formula is the annual amount divided by the number of periods. Here, there are 26 periods of biweekly (once every two weeks) paychecks.
