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.

If the length of the minute hand of the clock in London commonly known as “Big Ben” is 11.25’ from the center of the clock to th
rodikova [14]
First, we should figure out the area of the entire face of the clock because we need that information to solve the problem. The formula for the area of a circle is A=pi*r^2. Since we know that r (radius) is equal to 11.25 feet, we can plug this in for r and solve for A: A=pi*11.25^2 which equals A=397.61 ft^2 rounded to the nearest hundredth. 

Now, to find the area the hand sweeps over in 5 minutes, we should determine how much of the clock the hand sweeps over in 5 minutes. Think about it like this: since 5 minutes goes into 60 minutes 12 times (60/5=12), then 5 minutes is one twelfth of the clock's face. Therefore, we are going to divide the total area by 12 (397.61/12) to get 33.13 ft^2, so the answer is C.

I hope this helps.

15. Over what range of angles does the value of sin(O) consistently increase?
Ronch [10]

Answer:

D. 0° to 90°

Step-by-step explanation:

If we see curve of sin(o) on coordinate,  we will notice that value of sin curve increases from 0 to 90 degrees and then decreases from 90 to 180 degrees.

Hence option D is correct.

Alternatively

we see that

sin 0 = 0

sin 30 = 1/2

sin 45 = 1/\sqrt{2}

sin 60 = \sqrt{3} /2

sin 90 = 1

Thus, we see  that value of sin is increasing from 0 to 90

now lets see value of sin from 90 to 180

sin 90 = 1

sin 120 = \sqrt{3} /2

sin 135 = 1/\sqrt{2}

sin 150 = 1/2

sin 180 = 0

Thus, we see  that value of sin is decreasing from 90 to 180.
