D.) An account earning interest compounded daily.

This is the account that would have the greatest accumulated value at the end of one year.

Let us assume the following figures.
Principal = 1,000
Interest rate = 12% p.a.
Term 1 year 

a) account earning no interest = 1,000
b) account earning simple interest
S.I. = 1,000 x 12% x 1 = 120 
Balance = 1000 + 120= 1,120
c) account earning interest compounded annually
FV = 1,000 (1+.12)¹
FV = 1,000 (1.12)
FV = 1,120
d) account compounded daily
FV = 1,000 (1 + .12/365)³⁶⁵
FV = 1,000 (1 + 0.00033)³⁶⁵
FV = 1,000 (1.00033)³⁶⁵
FV = 1,000 (1.128)
FV = 1,128

Option (d) is correct.

<u>An account that earns the interest compounded daily would have the greatest accumulated value at the end of one year. </u>

<u> </u>

Further Explanation:

Compound interest:  Compound interest is a type of interest where the interest is calculated on the principle and the earned interest. Generally, the principle is considered in the calculation of the interest (simple interest). The compound interest is calculated on the principal amount and the earned interest amount. So, the interest tends to increase because of the compounding nature. Compounding means the ability to earn from prior earnings. So, compound interest earns the interest from the already earned interest in the prior year. It is considered as “interest on interest”.

Rate of compound interest:  The amount of compound interest increases with the increase in the frequency rate. The frequency rate is the rate of compounding the interest. The interest value will be higher when the interest is calculated or compounded more frequently. The amount of interest will be higher in case of a higher number of the compounding period.

In the current case, the interest will be higher in case of daily compounding as the frequency of compounding will be 365 times rather than 1 in case of annual compounding. Compound interest always results in a higher amount of interest than simple interest because of the compounding factor.

<u> Thus, the account that earns the interest compounded daily would have the greatest accumulated value at the end of one year. </u>

<u> </u>

a.

An account earning no interest: This is an incorrect option.

There will be no interest, so it cannot have the highest accumulated value at the end of the year.

b.

An account earning simple interest: This is an incorrect option.

Simple interest results in lower interest amount than compound interest.

c.

An account earning interest compounded annually: This is an incorrect option.

The frequency of annual compound is only 1 as compared to 365 in case of a daily compound.

d.

An account earning interest compounded daily: This is the correct option.

If the interest will be compounded daily; the frequency will be highest out of all the cases so it will result in the accumulated value.

In the long run, the competitive firm's supply curve is the a. entire marginal-cost curve. b. portion of the marginal-cost curve
Mars2501 [29]

The long run will see the supply curve of a completive firm changing to the b. portion of the marginal-cost curve that lies above the average-total-cost curve.

<h3>What is the long-run supply curve in a perfect competition?</h3>

In a perfect competition, a company will only produce goods and services at a level where the marginal cost curve is above the average total cost in the long run.

This means that the supply curve will be the marginal cost curve but only the portion of this curve that is above the long-run average total cost curve.

The reason for this is that in the long-run., all the costs in a perfectly competitive firm are considered variable and so they can afford to avoid supply mishaps in the short term.

In conclusion, option B is correct.

The price of a ranchette estate is $260,000. The bank requires a 15% down payment and 3 points at the time of closing. The cost
coldgirl [10]

Answer:

Missing word<em> "and the cost of one point at the time of closing"</em>

<em />

Down payment = $260,000*15%

Down payment = $260,000*0.15

Down payment = $39,000

Amount of mortgage = $260,000 - $39,000

Amount of mortgage = $221,000

Cost of 3 point at the time of closing = 3% of amount of mortgage

Cost of 3 point at the time of closing = 3% * $221,000

Cost of 3 point at the time of closing = $6,630
