The Dallas Development Corporation is considering the purchase of an apartment project for $100,000. They estimate that they wil

l receive $15,000 at the end of each year for the next 10 years. At the end of the 10th year, the apartment project will be worth nothing. If Dallas purchases the project, what will be its internal rate of return, compounded annually? If the company insists on an 8 percent return compounded annually on its investment, is this a good investment?

Answer:

  • <u>The rate of return is 8.15%</u>
  • <u>This is a good investment</u>

<u></u>

Explanation:

For the first question, you need to find the rate that makes the present value of a stream of ten constant annual payments of $15,000 equal to the $100,000 investment.

The formula that returns the present value of a constant payment is called the annuity formula and is:

      Present\text{ }value=payment\times \bigg[\dfrac{1}{r}-\dfrac{1}{r(1+r)^t}\bigg]

In your problem you know:

  • Present value: $100,000
  • payment: $15,000
  • r: ?
  • t: 10

You cannot solve for r directly. You must guess a value and calculate the right side of the equation until to you find the rate that makes it equal to 100,000.

Try 5%:

       \$15,000\times \bigg[\dfrac{1}{0.05}-\dfrac{1}{0.05(1+0.05)^{10}}\bigg]=\$115,826

Then, the rate of return is greater than 5%. After several trials you will find that the rate of return is 8.15%.

Since this rate is higher than 8%, which is what the company requires, this is a good investment.

omeli [17]

Answer:

h≈1.43

Step-by-step explanation:

Simply ,Square the radius, and then divide the radius squared into the tripled volume. For this example, the radius is 2. The square of 2 is 4, and 300 divided by 4 is 75. Divide the amount calculated in Step 2 by pi, which is an unending math constant that begins 3.14, to calculate the cone's height.

Help pls<br><br>52 is 65% of what? <br><br>45% of 40 is what number? ​
Masja [62]

Let, that number = x

It would be: x * 0.65 = 52

x = 52 / 0.65

x = 80

So, that number and your answer is 80

18 is 45% of 40

45%/100 = 0.45

0.45*40=18

Which of the following has a solution set of {x | x = 0}?
Oliga [24]
Middle option.

<span>(x + 1 ≤ 1) ∩ (x + 1 ≥ 1)

If you work both sides separately you get

</span>(x  ≤ 0) ∩ (x ≥ 0)
<span>
which reduces nicely to 

</span><span>{x | x = 0}</span>
