Let n =  the number of years that payments were made.

Assume that the compounding interval is 12 (monthly).
The 1st payment acquires the value
500(1+ \frac{0.052}{12} )^{12n} = 500(1.00433)^{12n}
The 2nd payment acquires the value
500(1.00433)^{12n-1}
and so on.

The value of the payments forms a geometric series
500(1.00433),\, 500(1.00433)^{2},\, 500(1.00433)^{3} , \, ... \, 500(1.00433)^{12n}

The sum of the geometric series is 247014, therefore
\frac{500*1.00433(1 - 1.00433^{12n})}{1-1.00433}=247014 \\\\ 1-1.00433^{12n} = -2.1316 \\\\ 1.00433^{12n} = 3.1316 \\\\ 12n =  \frac{ln(3.1316)}{ln(1.00433)}  =264 \\\\  n = 22

Answer: 22 years

<span>This question would be solved using a BA II plus calculator as no educational institution would require a manual evaluation, keystrokes on calculator are as follows: [2ND] PMT [2ND] ENTER ***These 4 keystrokes set the device to beginning of period compounding instead of end of period. We do this because the question states that the $500 deposits are made at the beginning of the month and therefore are entitled to the entire months worth of interest compounding. If done correctly, you will see the letters BGN across the top right of the display. Keystrokes continue as follows: PV 0 PMT 500 FV -247014 VERY IMPORTANT TO ENTER FV AS NEGATIVE NUMBER I/Y 5.2 / 12 Because its a monthly payment, the annual apr given is divided by 12 CPT N DISPLAY WILL READ 264. This means 264 monthly payments were made. To express this in years we simply divide this number by 12 to get: 264/12 = 22. We report that we made payments for 22 years.</span>

Reasons why South African post office taking private courier companies to court​
Brrunno [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

As the only operator of this kind in South Africa, the Post Office has the exclusive right to provide delivery services for all letters, postcards, printed matter, small parcels, and other postal articles up to and including 1kg.

PostNet was initially ordered to stop delivering all packages weighing 1kg and less by 17 March 2020. However, it secured an interdict which allowed it to continue to deliver these packages until the full challenge was heard in the Gauteng High Court.

The Post Office, Postnet and the South African Express Parcel Association (SAEPA) are now set to head to court in a move that could have ramifications for the entire courier industry in South Africa.

Icasa spokesperson Paseka Maleka told BusinessDay that the regulator would give its support to the Post Office as it was following the letter of the law, which allowed private couriers to only deliver food items in the 1kg or less category.

“Icasa’s mandate is to implement what the law requires, and we are doing exactly that,” he said.

“There are exemptions that deal with businesses that do not fall under postal services. Uber Eats, Mr Delivery, etc are such businesses. Obviously, one cannot expect Sapo to be delivering pizza to a consumer,” he said.

Brooke Monroe, the Vice President of Manufacturing for Diacon Products has made a strong argument for the company to enter forei
Andrej [43]

Answer:

The answer is: If the new market proves to be big enough for Diacon Products (DP) to enter, they can always build a new facility for themselves.

Explanation:

Unless prohibited in the contract, DP will always be able to build new factories or facilities in the new markets they just entered. Their better know how on the production processes will always be an advantage for them.

For instance they might build a new cement factory in India. If India´s market for cement turns to be huge and DP decides to enter  into it, of course they should be able to build a new cement plant for themselves. They will probably be able to set up the cement plant in a better way than before due to the experience they gained the first time.

Usually the worst thing to do is simply nothing. If they believe a market is so good for them to enter, then they should do it directly the first time. But if they are unsure, building a turnkey project for someone else is very good marketing research.
