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

In regard to firm growth, evidence shows that ________. service firms tend to generate sustained growth while manufacturing firm
Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

At least during the last couple of decades, service firms tend to generate sustained growth while manufacturing firms do not.

Explanation:

The last president that recorded a steady manufacturing growth rate was Bill Clinton.

Service firms are growing steadily and probably will continue to do it. While manufacturing firms have been slowing down, their growth rate (if any) is not very large during the past few years and that tendency has increased with the new trade barriers imposed by our government during the last couple of years.

Another thing that helps the growth of service firms is that when manufacturing firms or agricultural firms grow, they need more services, so service firms will grow even more.
