The house in "The Deserted House" is a metaphor for a dead body or dead person.
The poem opens with "life and thought have gone away" speaking of a person who has died and no longer has life or thoughts. It continues in Lines 1-3 describing the emptiness of the house, showing the stillness and emptiness of death.
In Line 4 "The house was builded of the earth, And shall fall again to ground." refers to a body being buried, similar to the common funeral phrase "from dust to dust"
Line 5 refers to the person in Heaven- "in a city glorious-- A great and distant city--have bought A mansion incorruptible." Incorruptible in this line means everlasting or unable to decay, showing that the person, (the "mansion") will stay there forever.
The poem ends with "Would they could have stayed with us!" in reference to the person who has died-wishing they had not "moved" to heaven and instead could have stayed alive.
It is important because if their names were on the ration books, they would have been found out by the Nazis and taken away, like all of the other Jews.

Answer:
Explanation:
aerospace engineering company borrowed $100,000 from the bank to get their company started. The company promised to pay a monthly payment of $500 to pay off the loan. The company could potentially turn profits of $20,000 a month. How long will it take the company to make $200000?
Amount borrowed = $100,000
Monthly repayment = $500
Monthly profit = $20,000
How long it'll take company to make $200,000
Since the company pays back $500 monthly, then net profit per month will be :
$20,000 - $500 = $19500
How long it'll take to make $200,000
Projected profit / net profit per month
$200,000 / $19500
= 10.256410
= about 10 months
