Answer:

The correct answer is:

$17,437.28

Explanation:

First of all, let us lay out the particulars that will aid us in our calculations:

Amount saved in year 1 = $2000

Number of years saved in total = 6 years

annual rate of savings increase = 10% increase on the amount for that year to the next year

Annual return on investment = 13%.

Next, let us calculate the 10% increase in savings from years 2 to 6.

Year 1 investment = $ 2000

Year 2 investment = Year 1 saving + 10% of year one saving

hence, investment 2 saving = 2000 + (10/100 × 2000) = 2000 + (0.1 × 2000)

Year 2 investment = 2000 +200 = $2,200.

Year 3 investment = year 2 saving + (0.1 × year 2 saving) = 2200 + (0.1 × 2200)

year 3 investment = 2200 + 220 = $2,420

Year 4 investment = 2420 + (0.1 × 2420) = 2420 + 242 = $2,662

Year 5 investment = 2662 + (0.1 × 2662) = 2662 + 266.2 = $2928.2

Year 6 investment = 2928.2 + (0.1 × 2928.2) = 2928.2 + 292.82 = $3,221.02

Next, let us create a table to show the total amount for each year.

Note, to determine the 13% annual investment return on each year:

13% = 13/100 = 0.13. So, we will multiply the investment for each year with 0.13 to get the annual investment. It is shown hence:

Year   Investment (I) ($)   Annual return (AR) ($)    Total amount (I + AR) ($)

1             2000                   260                                     2260

2            2200                   286                                     2486

3            2420                   314.6                                   2734.6

4            2662                   346.06                               3008.06

5            2928.2                380.67                               3308.87

6            3221.02               418.73                                3639.75

Total                                                                             17,437.28    

                     

Therefore, at the end of 6 years mark would have $17,437.28 (approx. $17,437)

VMariaS [17]

Answer:

The effective rate of protection for Canada’s steel industry is 21%

Explanation:

The computation of the effective rate is shown below:

Steel percentage = (Production worth of steel) ÷ (Taconite worth)

                             = ($1,000,000) ÷ ($100,000)

                             = 10%

And the tariff rate for steel is 20%

And the taconite percentage is 10%

So, the effective rate would be equal to

= Tariff rate for steel + taconite percentage × steel percentage

= 20% + 10% × 10%

= 20% + 1%

= 21%

aev [14]

Answer:

P= 18

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Fixed costs= 2,500,000 + 300,000= 2,800,000

Variable costs= 10 per unit

Estimated demand= 100,000 units

Break-even point= fixed costs/(P - variable cost)

100,000= 2800000/(P - 10)

100000*(P - 10)= 2,800,000

100000*P - 1,000,000= 2,800,000

100000P=1,800,000

P= 18
