Answer:

B. The total interest = $4.35

Explanation:

The first question to answer, is  what is the present value of the annuity of the loan and then based on that the total interest can be calculated.

<h2>Present value of annuity= A x [(1-(1+r)-n)/r]*(1+r) </h2>

Where the A represents Annuity = or $20

The r represents the rate or 1.5%

and the n represents the number of periods which is 6 months

Calculating the value =

= 20 x [(1-1.015^-6)/0.015]*1.015

= 20 x [(1-0.91454219251)/0.015]*1.015

= 20*5.782644973

=$115.65

Now that the loan amount is known, the Total Interest can be calculated as follows

Total Interest= number of payments x monthly payments) - the loan amount (calculated above)

= 20 x 6 -115.65

= 120-115.65

The total interest = $4.35

Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

Average rate of return =  14 %

Explanation:

Average rate of return = Annual average return/ Average Investment

Average investment =( Initial investment + scrap value)/2

Average investment = 138,000 + 12,000/2 =75,000

Average annual return = Savings in cost - energy cost - depreciation

Depreciation = (initial cost - scrap value)/2= (138,000 - 12,000)/2= 12600

Average annual return = 29,780-6,680-12600= 10500

Average rate of return = 10,500/75,000 × 100= 14 %

Average rate of return =  14 %
