Answer:

a) The total dollar amount  = $513.2

b) The interest payment = $13.20

Explanation:

Use following formula to calculate the real interest rate:

1 + Real Interest rate = (1 + Nominal Interest rate ) / (1 + Inflation rate )

1 + Real Interest rate = (1 + 7% ) / (1 + 4.25% )

1 + Real Interest rate = (1 + 0.07 ) / (1 + 0.0425 )

1 + Real Interest rate = 1.07 / 1.0425

1 + Real Interest rate = 1.0264

Real Interest rate = 1.0264 - 1

Real Interest rate = 0.0264

Real Interest rate = 2.64%

a) The total dollar amount

A = P x ( 1 + r )^n = 500 x ( 1 + 0.0264)^1 = $513.2

b) The interest payment

Interest payment = $513.2 - $500 = $13.20

sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

Instructions are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Susan:

Annual deposit= $5,000 for 10 years

Lumo-sum for 30 years

Interest rate= 8.5%

Jane:

Annual deposit= $5,000 for 30 years.

<u>First, we will calculate the future value of Susan:</u>

<u></u>

First 10 years:

FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i

A= annual deposit

FV= {5,000*[(1.085^10)-1]}/0.085

FV= $74,175.50

Last 30 years:

FV= PV*(1+i)^n

FV= 74,175.50*(1.085^30)

FV= $857,050.14

<u>Jane:</u>

FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i

A= annual deposit

FV= {5,000*[(1.085^30)-1]}/0.085

FV= $621,073.63

<u>Earnings difference= 857,050.14 - 621,073.63= $235,976.51 in favor of Susan.</u>

Inseparability in services means consumers Multiple Choice are unable to differentiate price from quality. cannot separate thems
cestrela7 [59]

<u>Answer: </u>Option Consumer cannot separate the service itself from the deliverer of the service.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Inseparability means that the consumer does not see the service and provider of the service as varied things. Because of this inseparable concept the business in service industry concentrates on the quality of the people providing the service.

The consumer's service evaluation is inseparable from the service provider. The service providers have to take decisions according to this concept. If the organisations do not take these steps then they will miss in providing customer satisfaction.
