Answer:

The amount to be deposited today is: $211, 562.44

Explanation:

Compound interest is interest that is reinvested to the initial amount that was loaned or deposited in a bank account. This means that the next interest will be calculated using the principal amount (initial amount deposited) plus the interest that is reinvested in the current period. Compound interest is calculated as follows:

FV =  PV/ ((1 + (i/n))^(nT)

FV = Future value

PV = Present Value

i = interest rate

n = number of times interest rate is applied per period

T = number of periods

In this question, PV is required to determine how much money we need to deposit today. Therefore, PV is made the subject of the formula as follows:

PV = FV/((1 + (i/n))^(nT)

PV = $255,000/ (1+(0.011/4))^(4*17)

     = $255000/(1.00275)^68

     =$211,562.4443

pickupchik [31]

Explanation:

Being a son, Steve should obey his parents and stay at home to babysit his six year old brother, because it is always the duty of children to give respect to their parents' decisions. Though he was super excited about the football match in which his school team was going to play against the long term rivals, but because his parents' friends had a call for meeting them after so long, they asked him to stay at home as he could have many more chances of seeing such matches.

But being a parent, I should respect my son's program of watching the football match, and take the baby with me, so that the program of both son and parents would not be disturbed.
