You plan to retire in 30 years and plan to contribute the same amount of money each year to your retirement fund. The fund earns

tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

$11,215.24

Explanation:

After retirement:

Annual Withdrawal = $100,000

Period = 20 years

Annual Interest Rate = 7%

Amount required at retirement = $100,000 * PVIFA(7%, 20)

Amount required at retirement = $100,000 * (1 - (1/1.07)^20) / 0.07

Amount required at retirement = $100,000 * 10.5940

Amount required at retirement = $1,059,400

Before retirement:

Period = 30 years

Annual Deposit * FVIFA(7%, 30) = $1,059,400

Annual Deposit * (1.07^30 - 1) / 0.07 = $1,059,400

Annual Deposit * 94.46079 = $1,059,400

Annual Deposit = $11,215.24

So, you should contribute $11,215.24 each year into your retirement fund.

Thane Company is interested in establishing the relationship between electricity costs and machine hours. Data have been collect

dangina [55]

Answer:

The correct option : B. Cost = $ 130.00 + $ 5.90 x Machine - hours

Explanation:

Let's use the following method to solve the given problem

Now applying the high-low method of cost estimation,

High => November, 5,300 machine hours

Low => March, 2,300 machine hours

Arranging it in a simultaneous equations for total cost:

We can let fixed cost per month to be F, and the variable cost per machine -hour be V, and the number of machine-hours be Q.

Therefore

Total cost = F + VQ

High => F + 5,300Q = $ 31,400

Low => F + 2,300Q = $ 13,700

Subtracting Low from High, we have 3,000Q = $ 17,700 or Q = $ 5.90 per machine hour ................equation one

F = $ 13,700 - ( 2,300 x $ 5.90) = $ 130......................................................................equation two
