Question

Question 3 The owner of a cemetery plans to offer a perpetual care service for grave sites. The owner estimates that it will cost $130 per year to maintain a grave site. If the interest rate is 12.00%, what one-time fee should the owner charge for the perpetual care service? $1,300 $1,083 $130 $156

Answer 1

Answer:

$1,083

Explanation:

Given that,

Cost of providing perpetual care service for grave sites = $130 per year

Interest rate = 12 percent

Therefore, the one-time fee the owner should charge:

= Cost of providing perpetual care service for grave sites ÷ Interest rate

= $130 ÷ 0.12

= $1,083.33 or $1,083

Hence, the one-time fee should the owner charge for the perpetual care service is $1,083.
