pped adding any additional charges to this card and are determined to pay off the balance. You have worked out the formulabn = b0r n − R(1 + r+r2 +....+ r n−1), where b0 is the initial balance, bn is the balance after you have maden payments, r= 1 + i, wherei is the monthly interest rate, and R is the amount you are planning to pay each month.

Answer:

It will take 71,35 months, wich can be rounded to 72, or 6 years

Step-by-step explanation:

The debt will be paid when b_{n} = 0, the formula can be written as:

b_{n} = b_{0} r^{n} - R (\frac{1-r^{n} }{1-r} ) = 0

Solving for n:

\frac{R}{1-r} = \frac{b_{0}r^{n}}{1-r^{n} } = \frac{b_{0}r^{n}}{r^{n}(\frac{1}{r^{n} } -1) }

\frac{1}{r^{n}} = \frac{b_{0}(1-r)}{R}+1= 0,28

r^{n}= \frac{1}{0,28} = 3,5714

Solving the exponential equation:

r^{n} = 3,5714 => n = log_{r} (3,5714) = \frac{log(3,5714)}{log(r)} =71,35

It will take 71,35 months, wich can be rounded to 72, or 6 years

 Total expense= sum of all expenses incurred 
                       = commission+legal fees+advertising+printing cost+accounting fees

Total amount of shares sold=$ 2000000 x $62.5
                                              =$ 125000000
commission= 4% of the total amount of shares sold                      = .04x12500000
                      =$ 5000000
total expenses= $5000000+$2255500+$450000+$324400+$386000
                        =$8415900
selling expense/share = $8415900/2000000
                                      =$4.21/shareThe total expense per share is $4.21.
