Answer:

0.8314

Explanation:

First, we are given the following

Unemployment during on Average = U= 12.7 weeks

Standard deviation= SD = 0.3 Weeks

Therefore, P (12  Greater than x  Greater than 13)

= P (12-12.7 /0.3 Greater than X -U/SD Greter than 13-12.7/0.3)

= P (-0.7/0.3 Greater than Z Greater than 0.3/0.3)

= P (-2.33 Greater than  Z  Greater than   1)

= P (Z Greater than 1)  - P (Z Greaer than -2.33)

At this Point we make use of he Z table to find out the figure

= 0.8413 - 0.0099

= 0.8314

Ruth and Stella were sisters. They owned a house as joint tenants with right of survivorship. Ruth sold her half interest to Roy
vekshin1

Answer: No. He was not.

Explanation:

Roy, in this case as a third party was simply a TENANT - IN - COMMON with Stella and is not entitled to the RIGHTS OF SURVIVORSHIP.

In a Joint Tenancy, there is a common ownership of property with the Rights of Survival. If Party A and B have Joint ownership and Party B dies, Party A automatically takes over the property. That is the Right of Survival.

However, third parties do not have such rights because they did not take the title at the same time or with the same instrument. When sold an interest they simply become a Tenant in Common with the remaining owner.

So even though Ruth sold her interest to Roy, upon Stella's death, the property passes in it's entirety to Ruth as Roy was just a Tenant in Common, not a joint owner.

If you need any clarification do react or comment.

You just started your first job today. Besides your 401K, you are planning to save $3,000 a year for 40 years for your retiremen
umka21 [38]

Answer:

The correct answer is 777.169.56.

Explanation:

According to the scenario, the given data are as follows:

Payment per year (PMT) = $3,000

Time (N) = 40 years

Rate of interest (R)= 8%

So, the future value of the following can be calculated by using the following formula:

Future value = PMT × \frac{((1+r)^{n} -1)}{R}

Now, put the value of the following in the formula. then,

= 3,000 × \frac{((1+8/100)^{40} -1)}{8/100}

= 3,000 × 259.0565

= 777,169.56

Hence, the value in the account after 40 years will be 777,169.56.
