In 1626, Dutchman Peter Minuit purchased Manhattan Island from a local Native American tribe. Historians estimate that the price

he paid for the island was about $24 worth of goods, including beads, trinkets, cloth, kettles, and axe heads. Many people find it laughable that Manhattan Island would be sold for $24, but you need to consider the future value (FV) of that price in more current times. If the $24 purchase price could have been invested at a 6% annual interest rate, what is its value as of 2018 (392 years later)?

Answer:

$199,576,970,307.56

Explanation:

Given:

Price paid for the island = $24

Annual interest rate, r = 6%

Duration, n = 392 years

Now,

Future value is given as:

Future value = Present value × ( 1 + r )ⁿ

on substituting the respective values, we get

Future value = $24 × ( 1 + 0.06 )³⁹²

or

Future value = $24 × 8315707096.148

or

Future value = $199,576,970,307.56

= $13.20 per unit × (5,200 units - 4,200 units)

= $13.20 per unit × 1,000 units

= $13,200

hence, the ending inventory is $13,200

Seth has a monthly income of $2,500. He has a $400 car payment and owes $225 on electronic equipment. What is the percentage of
WITCHER [35]

Answer:

25%

Explanation:

Given:

Seth has a monthly income of $2,500

He has a $400 car payment

He owes $225 on electronic equipment.

Question asked:

What is the percentage of Seth's income he is paying out in debt payments?

Solution:

He has a car payment = $400

He owes on electronic equipment = $225

<em>These two items are treated as debt for Seth as these items are used first then pay for it.</em>

Total debt =  $400 +  $225

Total debt = $625

Now, we will find percentage of Seth's income he is paying out in debt payments,

Percentage =\frac{Total \ monthly \ debt}{Total \ monthly\  income}

                  =\frac{625}{2500} \times100\\\\ =\frac{62500}{2500} \\\\ =25

Therefore, 25% of Seth's income he is paying out in debt payments.

Alex777 [14]

Answer:

d. $33,641.50

Explanation:

In this question, we use the PMT formula which is shown in the spreadsheet.  

The NPER represents the time period.

Given that,  

Present value = $375,000

Future value = $0

Rate of interest = 7.5%

NPER = 25 years

The formula is shown below:

= -PMT(Rate;NPER;PV;FV;type)

So, after solving this, the answer would be $33,641.50
