Answer:

$90

Explanation:

If the bookstore uses a linear markup policy, a linear relationship can be found between the sales price (S) and cost (C) for every product in the store as follows:

98.7 - 94 = m(84 - 80)\\m = 1.175\\S-94 = 1.175(C - 80)\\S= 1.175 C

From that it's easy to see the store works with a simple 17.5% profit margin, so the cost of a book that sells for $105.75 can be found as follows:

C=\frac{105.75}{1.175} \\C=90

Answer:

The linear function will be S= 1.175 C

The cost of a book that sells for $105.75 is $90

Explanation:

If the markup policy of the bookstore is linear so we can say that price sale is a constant of the cost

S=x* C   then x=S/C

In the first case,  

x=$94/$80=1.175

In the second case,  

x=$98.70/$84=1.175

So,  if the price of a book is $105.75 ,  the cost will be

C=S/x=  $105.75/1.175=$90

The federal funds rate A. equals the discount rate. B. only matters to banks and has very little impact on individual consumers.
bixtya [17]

Answer:

D. is the rate that banks charge each other for​ short-term loans of excess reserves.

Explanation:

The federal reserves require banks to maintain a certain amount in their vaults to cater for possible withdraws.  At the close of business every day, banks have to confirm they have the required amount. Should a bank fail to meet the requirement, it can borrow from other banks that have a surplus. The interest rate that banks charge each other for these transactions is the fed fund rate.

The Fed set the fund rate. It may increase or decrease it depending on the prevailing market condition. The banks use the fund rate set to determine the interest rates to be charged on loans and mortgages. A high fund rate means high-interest rates.

Answer:

Future value at the end of 19 years =$63,637.94

Explanation:

<em>The Future value (FV) of an investment is the total amount (principal plus interest) that will accumulate in the future where interest is paid and compounded at a particular rate per period for a certain number of periods.</em>

This can be done using the formula below

FV = PV × (1+r)^(n)

FV- Future Value

PV- amount invested, n- number of years, r - interest rate

The amount due after 19 years would be determined in two steps

Step 1: FV of 24,500 at 5.5% for 8 years

FV = 24,500× (1+0.055)^8 =37,599.819

Step 2 : FV of 37599.81962  invested for 11 years at 4.9% p.a

FV = ?  P=37,599.81,  n- 11, r- 4.9%

FV = 37,599.81 × (1.049)^11= 63,637.94

Future value at the end of 19 years =$63,637.94
