Answer:

c. An account that pays 0.5 %0.5% per month for three​ years.

Explanation:

We can evaluate all the option using following formula:

EAR = ( 1 + ( r / m ) )^m -1

a.

2.5% every six months for three years

r= 2.5% = 0.025 / 6 =

m = 12/6 = 2

EAR = ( 1 + 0.025  )^2 -1

EAR = 0.050625 = 5.06%

7.5% every 18 months for three years

r= 7.5% for 1.5 years = 7.5% / 18 = 0.4167% per month = 0.004167 per month

EAR = ( 1 + 0.004167 )^12 -1

EAR = 0.051166 = 5.12%

0.5% every month for three years

r= 0.5% = 0.005

EAR = ( 1 + 0.005 )^12 -1

EAR = 0.0616778 = 6.17%

We will prefer an account that pays 0.5 %0.5% per month for three​ years, it pays the highest return.

ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

2019 = 2750

2020 = 5500

Explanation:

Given that:

Cost of truck = $36000

Salvage value = $3000

Useful life = 120, 000 miles

(Cost of asset - salvage value) / useful life

(36000 - 3000) / 120,000 = 0.275

2019 : 0.275 x 10,000 = 2750

2020 : 0.275 * 20000 = 5500

Gnom [1K]

Answer:

• It could prevent a will from going into probate

•It avoids confusion if the primary beneficiary on dies first

•It allows for another option if the primary beneficiary cannot inherit it

Explanation:

A Secondary beneficiary otherwise known as contingent beneficiary is a person or an entity who has been named in a Will, insurance policy or trust to inherit assets therein should the main or primary beneficiary dies before the grantor.

Secondary beneficiary is important because should the primary beneficiary dies first, he is entitled to the benefits therein inorder to avoid confusion as to who should inherit the deceased's assets. It is also important because it provides other option where the primary beneficiary is not able to inherit the will i.e not found at the time of grantor's death or disclaim inheritance in the will, the secondary beneficiary inherits same and also prevent the will from going into probate i.e allowing it to pass through the court process which is oftentimes time consuming .
