Bess [88]

While both types of insurance are required, if you do not have health insurance, you will be required to pay a fee on your taxes.

FYI, while this used to be true the United States has recently removed the requirement known as the "individual mandate" for people to have health insurance or face a penalty.

Suppose you found a CD that pays 4.9% interest compounded monthly for 4 years. If you deposit $10,000 now, how much will you hav
Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

=$11,580.00

Explanation:

The CD pays 4.9 percent compounded monthly for four years.

In one year, there will be 12 occasions of compounding; after four years, there would be 12 x 4 = 36 compounds.

The interest rate per year is 4.9 percent; monthly interest will be 4.9 /12, which is 0.4083 percent.

The amount in four years is the same as the future value after four years.

=FV = PV (1+r)n

Pv =$10,000

r=0.4083 %

N =36

Fv = 10,000(1+0.4083/100)36

=10,000(1+0.004083)36

=$10000 x 1.1579932

=$11,579. 932

=$11,580.00
