Answer:

The lump sum be of $237,228.84

Explanation:

In order to calculate how large must the lump sum be we would have to use  and calculate the formula of Present value of annuity due as follows:

Present value of annuity due=(1+interest rate)*Annuity[1-(1+interest rate)^-time period]/rate

Present value of annuity due=(1+0.075)*$25,000[1-(1.075)^-15]/0.075

Present value of annuity due=$25,000*9.489153726

Present value of annuity due=$237,228.84(Approx)

The lump sum be of $237,228.84

Why do businesses take financial cost into account other than social cost when making decisions.
deff fn [24]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although there are no options attached we can say the following.

Why do businesses take financial costs into account other than social costs when making decisions.?

The reason why is because businesses are created to make profits. And financial costs directly impact sales, revenue, and profits. Any other consideration that does not directly affect the balance sheet or the bottom line, is not considered a priority and takes the back seat when business decisions are made.

On the other hand, the social cost should be important and it is, but not as important as the financial costs for the above-mentioned reasons.

Social costs are more on the side of the ethics of the managers or leaders of the organizations. And ethics and moral values are not a prominent thing to be considered in the decision-making process of modern corporations.

Suppose you inherited $275,000 and invested it at 8.25% per year. How much could you withdraw at the end of each of the next 20
navik [9.2K]

Answer:

withdraw amount  = 28532.45

so correct option is  a. $28,532

Explanation:

given data

present amount  = $275,000 bonus

interest rate = 8.25% per year  = 0.0825

time period = 20 year

solution

first we get here Cumulative discount factor that is

Cumulative discount factor = \frac{(1-(1+r)^{-t}}{r}   .........................1

here r is rate and t is time period

put here value and we will get

Cumulative discount factor = \frac{(1-(1+0.0825)^{-20}}{0.0825}    

solve it we get

Cumulative discount factor =  9.638148

and now we get  so here withdraw amount at the end of each of the next 20 years that is

withdraw amount = Present amount ÷ cumulative discount factor   ............2

put here value

withdraw amount = \frac{275000}{9.638148}    

solve it we get

withdraw amount  = 28532.45

so correct option is  a. $28,532
