Answer:

The answer is option (C). Four Rivers Bank

Explanation:

a). The total amount Jane will receive after 5 years after investing $40,000 in the Mystic Bank can be expressed as follows;

A = P (1 + r/n) (nt)

where;

A = the future value of the initial investment

P = initial investment amount/principal amount

r = the annual interest rate

n = the number of times that interest is compounded per unit t

t = the time the money is invested for

In our case;

P=$40,000

r=12/100=0.12

n=interest is compounded quarterly which is four times a year=4

t=5 years

Replacing values in the formula;

A=40,000(1+0.12/4)^(4×5)

A=40,000(1+0.03)^20

A=40,000×1.806

A=72,244.45

The total amount Jane will receive after 5 years if she chooses to invest with the Mystic Bank is $72,244.45

b). The total amount Jane will receive after 5 years after investing $40,000 in the Four Rivers Bank can be expressed as follows;

A = P (1 + r/n) (nt)

where;

P=$40,000

r=14/100=0.14

n=interest is compounded semiannually which is two times a year=2

t=5 years

Replacing values in the formula;

A=40,000(1+0.14/2)^(2×5)

A=40,000(1+0.07)^10

A=40,000×1.967

A=78,686.05

The total amount Jane will receive after 5 years if she chooses to invest with the Four Rivers Bank is $78,686.05

c). The best deal would be to invest with Four Rivers Bank for 5 years since the total amount Jane will receive after 5 years will be $78,686.05 which is greater than $72,244.45, which is the total amount she will receive if she chooses to invest with Mystic Bank

mel-nik [20]

Answer:

The correct answer is Quitclaim deed.

Explanation:

A quitclaim deed is an executable document legally used to transfer property rights without having to provide any guarantee for the beneficiary or any that the assignor still owns the property. Basically, the transferor of a deed of resignation says: "I transfer my property rights, if I have any, to the beneficiary." With the minimal assistance of a lawyer, executing a waiver deed to transfer property rights can be simple and brief.
