Answer:

(European) goldsmiths

Explanation:

European goldsmiths (Italian goldsmiths were the first) formulated a principle that only 5% of deposits were needed in reserve at any particular time, therefore they could lend 95% of the gold they held in deposit.

Goldsmiths would rent space in their vaults that allowed other people to keep their gold in a safe place. That led to transactions were notes indicating the amount of gold deposited would be traded instead of trading gold itself.

Eventually goldsmiths discovered that they could trade (lend) more money than the amount of gold they held in deposits, inventing fractional reserve banking.

Pollution control equipment for a pulverized coal cyclone furnace is expected to cost $190,000 two years from now and another $1

alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

$212,882.75

Explanation:

Cost from 2 years now = $190,000

Cost from 9 years now = $120,000

Interest rate = 9% Quarterly

Present Worth = Cost from 2 years now*[1/(1+interest/m)^nm] * Cost from 2 years now*[1/(1+interest/m)^nm]

Present Worth = 190,000*[1/(1+0.09/4)^2*4] + 120,000*[1/(1+0.09/4)^9*4]

Present Worth = 190,000*[1/(1.0225)^8] + 120,000*[1/(1.0225)^36]

Present Worth = 190,000*[1/1.19483] + 120,000*[1/2.22782]

Present Worth = 190,000*0.83693915 + 120,000*0.4488693

Present Worth = 159018.4385 + 53864.316

Present Worth = 212882.7545

Present Worth = $212,882.75

Thus, the amount to invest to cover these cost is $212,882.75

John's Auto Repair just obtained an interest-only loan of $35,000 with annual payments for 10 years and an interest rate of 8 pe

Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

$2,800

Explanation:

An interest only loan represents a type of loan offer where a borrower is only expected to pay the interest either for some of the term of the loan as agreed or for all of the terms of the loan. However, the principal amount that is collected remains constant all through the agreed interest -only period.

Since the loan obtained by John's Auto Repair is Interest Only, it means that the principal of $35,000 remains constant.

Hence, in the 8th year, John is expected to pay only the interest for the period =

0.08 x $35,000

= $2,800
