First we need to calculate the monthly discount rate for the lease arrangement (EAR):

EAR = (1 + APR / k)^k - 1

= (1 + .06 / 4)^4 – 1

<span> = .06136 or 6 .14% </span>

Monthly rate = (1 + EAR)^(1/12) – 1

= (1.06136)^(1/12) - 1

= .004975 = 0.4975%

Now we can apply the formula for the PV of a constant annuity:

I = .4975

N = 60 = (5 years × 12 months/yr)

FV = 0

PMT = $4000 (lease payment)

Compute PV = 207,051.61

<span>Answer:  Therefore you should purchase the new delivery truck.</span>

Musya8 [376]

The value of the CPI in 2006 is 82.61.

<h3>What is the value of the CPI?</h3>

The consumer price index measures the changes in price of a basket of good. It is used to measure inflation. Inflation is when there is a persistent rise in the general price levels.

CPI = (cost of basket of goods in current period / cost of basket of goods in base period) x 100

2010 is the base year because its CPI is 100.

(19,000 / 23,000) x 100 = 82.61

Answer:

400,000

Explanation:

7% of what number = 28,000

(0.07)(X) = 28,000

X = 400,000

(which is less than 700,000. But that makes sense because not everyone living in Michael's city is necessarily part of the labor force. Some could be kids in school, others grandparents who have retired, others people who stay at home and don't work.)
