Answer:

a) 8.16%

b) $65,762.50

c) $39,701.07

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

15 years ago, Initial investment = $12500

5 years ago, Investment = $20000

Nominal interest = 8% semi annually for first 10 years

Interest2= 6.5% compunded annually for last five years

a) for the effective annual interest rate (EAR) in the first 10 years, let's use the formula:

[1+(nominal interest rate/number of compounding periods)]^ number of compounding periods-1

EAR = [1 + (\frac{0.08}{2})]^2 - 1

= (1 + 0.04)^2 - 1

= (1.04)^2 - 1

= 1.0816 - 1

= 0.0816

= 8.16%

The effective annual interesting rate, EAR = 8.16 %

b) To find the amount in my account today.

Let's first find the amount for $12500 for 10 years compounded semi annually

= 12,500 +( 12,500 * 8.160% * 10)

= $ 22,700

Let's also find the amount for $32,500($12,500+$20,000) for 5 Years compoundeed annually

$32,500 + ($32,500 * 6.5% *5)

= $ 43,062.50

Money in account today will be:

$22,700 + $43,062.50

= $65,762.50

c) Let's the amount I should have invested to be X

For first 10 years at 8.160%, we have:

Interest Amount = ( X * 8.160% * 10 ) = 0.8160 X

For next 5 years at 6.5%, we have:

Interest Amount = (X * 6.5% * 5) = 0.325 X

Therefore the total money at the end of 15 Years = 85000

0.8160X + 0.3250X + X = $85,000

= 2.141X = $85,000

X = 85,000/2.141

X = 39,701.074 ≈ $39,700

If I wish to have $85,000 now, I should have invested $39,700 15 years ago

(3,-3), slope 3 write an equation of the line that passes through the given point and has the given slope
tester [92]

Answer:

y = 3x - 12

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Here m = 3, thus

y = 3x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (3, - 3) into the partial equation

- 3 = 9 + c ⇒ c = - 3 - 9 = - 12

y = 3x - 12 ← equation of line

Sloan [31]

Answer: Yes. On average, it takes about 455 days for 1 person to throw away 1 ton of garbage, so just over 1 year.

Step-by-step explanation: The average person throws away 4.4 pounds of trash daily. So, the way to figure this out is 2,000 divided by 4.4 to find out the number of days it would take to throw away 2,000 pounds of trash.
