Maria and John decide to shop for furnishings for the new house. They choose items that amount to $5600.00. The store has 2 fixe

d installment simple interest loan options for purchasing:
Option 1: 20% down payment and financing at 5% simple interest per year for 3 years.

Option 2: no down payment and financing at 5.25% simple interest for 4 years.

Answer each of the following questions separately, showing all your work to reach each answer.

A. Which option will result in smaller finance charge (interest)? What will that finance charge/interest be?

B. Which option will result in the smaller monthly payment on this fixed installment loan? What will that monthly payment be?

C. They decide to defer any purchases and invest a $5600 bonus that Maria will be getting from work in a savings account. The APR is 21.6% compounded monthly. How much interest will they earn in 4 years?

D. They decide to defer any purchases and loan the $5600 bonus to a needy relative at 1.5% simple interest per year. How long will the term of the loan need to be if they want to earn $500 in interest (assuming the loan is not paid off early).

Answer:

A. The option that results in the smaller finance charge/interest is option 1

B. The option that will result in the smaller monthly payment is option 1

C. The interest they will earn in 4 years, I = $6,643.972

D. The time it will take for them to earn an interest of $500 by loaning $5,600 at 1.5% is approximately 5.95 years

Step-by-step explanation:

A. The simple interest, I, formula is given as follows;

I = \dfrac{P \times  R \times T }{100}

Where;

P = The principal

R = The rate

T =The time given for the loan

For Option 1 the first option, we have;

Down payment = 0.2 × $5600.00 = $1,120.00

Principal = $5600.00 - $1,120.00 = $4,480.00

\therefore I = \dfrac{\$ 4480\times  5 \times 3 }{100} = \$672

For Option 2. the second option, we have;

P = $5600.00

\therefore I = \dfrac{\$ 5600 \times  5.25 \times 3 }{100} = \$1176

The option that results in the smaller finance charge is option 1

B. For option 1, the total amount = Principal + Interest

∴ The total amount remaining = $4480 + $672 = $5,152

The monthly payment = A/N

Where;

A = The total amount yet to be paid out of the loan = $5,152

N = The number of time periods = 3 × 12 = 36 months

The monthly payment = $5,152/36 = \$ 143.\overline{111}

For option 2, the total amount = Principal + Interest

∴ The total amount remaining = $5,600 + $1176 = $6776

The monthly payment = A/N

Where;

A = The total amount yet to be paid out of the loan = $6,776

N = The number of time periods = 3 × 12 = 36 months

The monthly payment = $6,776/36 = \$ 188.\overline{222}

Therefore, the option that will result in the smaller monthly payment is option 1

C. For a compound interest on a principal of $5,600 invested for 4 years in a savings account that gives an interest rate 21.6% per annum, we have;

A = P \times \left(1 + \dfrac{r}{n} \right)^{(n\times t)}

We have, using the annual rate, rather than calculating for the monthly rate;

A = 5600 \times  \left(1 + 0.216 \right)^{4} \approx 12243.972

Therefore, the amount they will have in 4 years ≈ $ 12,243.972

The interest they will earn in 4 years, I = A - P ≈ $ 12,243.972 - $5,600 = $6,643.972

The interest they will earn in 4 years, I = $6,643.972

D. To earn an interest of $500 at an interest rate of 1.5%, we have;

500 = \dfrac{5600 \times 1.5 \times T}{100} = 84 \times T

From which we have;

T = \dfrac{500}{84} = \dfrac{125}{21} = 5\frac{20}{21} \approx 5.95

Therefore, the time it will take for them to earn an interest of $500 by loaning $5,600 at 1.5% is approximately 5.95 years.

Find the surface area of x^2+y^2+z^2=9 that lies above the cone z= sqrt(x^@+y^2)
Mashcka [7]
The cone equation gives

z=\sqrt{x^2+y^2}\implies z^2=x^2+y^2

which means that the intersection of the cone and sphere occurs at

x^2+y^2+(x^2+y^2)=9\implies x^2+y^2=\dfrac92

i.e. along the vertical cylinder of radius \dfrac3{\sqrt2} when z=\dfrac3{\sqrt2}.

We can parameterize the spherical cap in spherical coordinates by

\mathbf r(\theta,\varphi)=\langle3\cos\theta\sin\varphi,3\sin\theta\sin\varphi,3\cos\varphi\right\rangle

where 0\le\theta\le2\pi and 0\le\varphi\le\dfrac\pi4, which follows from the fact that the radius of the sphere is 3 and the height at which the sphere and cone intersect is \dfrac3{\sqrt2}. So the angle between the vertical line through the origin and any line through the origin normal to the sphere along the cone's surface is

\varphi=\cos^{-1}\left(\dfrac{\frac3{\sqrt2}}3\right)=\cos^{-1}\left(\dfrac1{\sqrt2}\right)=\dfrac\pi4

Now the surface area of the cap is given by the surface integral,

\displaystyle\iint_{\text{cap}}\mathrm dS=\int_{\theta=0}^{\theta=2\pi}\int_{\varphi=0}^{\varphi=\pi/4}\|\mathbf r_u\times\mathbf r_v\|\,\mathrm dv\,\mathrm du
=\displaystyle\int_{u=0}^{u=2\pi}\int_{\varphi=0}^{\varphi=\pi/4}9\sin v\,\mathrm dv\,\mathrm du
=-18\pi\cos v\bigg|_{v=0}^{v=\pi/4}
=18\pi\left(1-\dfrac1{\sqrt2}\right)
=9(2-\sqrt2)\pi

For concreatting a tower cement, sand, stones are in the ratio 1:2:4 For 144kg sand.. What amount of cement is required?
Verdich [7]

Answer:

72 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

For concreatting a tower cement, sand, stones are in the ratio 1:2:4 For 144kg sand.. What amount of cement is required?

We are given the ratio

cement: sand:stones

= 1:2:4

The sum of proportion =

1 + 2 + 4 = 7

We are given the kg of sand = 144kg

Step 1

We find the total kg of cement, sand and stones = x

Using the proportion of sand,

2/7 of x = 144kg

2/7 × x = 144kg

2x/7 = 144kg

Cross Multiply

2x = 7 × 144kg

x = 7 × 144kg/2

x = 504kg

Therefore the total kg of cement, sand and stone = 504kg

Step 2

The amount of cement required is calculated as:

1/7 × 504 kg = 72 kg

Therefore, 72kg of cement is required.
