You can invest in an account that pays simple interest or an account that pays compound interest. In either case, you plan to in

trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

You will receive $201.38 more interest if the investment is made with a compound interest rate rather than a simple interest rate.

Explanation:

Simple interest rate

We can calculate how much interests you'd obtain if you deposited the $2,600 in a simple interest rate account.

We start using the following formula for calculating the simple interests:

$I=P * r$

Where:

I are the interests per year,

P is the amount being invested,

r is the interest rate.

Replacing in the formula with the given values we have:

$I=2600*0.05=130$

We then proceed to multiply this result by the given number of years, which is 8. We get $130*8=1040$ .

Finishing with the simple interest rate, if we wanted to know how much is the investment worth at the end of a 8 year period, we must merely add the principal (the $2,600) to the total interests after the end of the period ($1040). So $2600+1040= 3640$ .

We'll use these results later.

Compound interest rate

The formula for compound interests is the following:

$I=P(1+r)^n$

Where:

I is the value of the investment after n years,

P is the principal amount being invested,

r is the interest rate,

n are the number of years the investment is compounded.

Replacing in the formula with the given values we have:

$I=2600*(1+0.05)^8=3841.38$

After the 8 year period, the investor will have $3841.38 in it's compounded interest account.

Comparing these results

We can simply substract the value of both investments at the end of a 8 year period, to determine how much more interest does the compound interest rate account give in relation to a simple interest rate account.

The values we've gotten were:

$3,640 for the simple interest rate account, and

$3,841.38 for the compounded interest rate account.

$3841.38-3640=201.38$ . Therefore the answer is: the account that pays compounded interests will pay $201.38 more to this invididual, compared to an account that pays simple interest.

Andrei [34K]

Answer: The answer has been attached

Explanation:

The journal is a book in accounting that is used to record the transactions that affect a business. It should be noted that the double entry method of bookkeeping is utilised while recording in a journal.

The journal has been attached in the following way:

1. The journal was used to record the balance sheet particulars.

2. To record the transaction in the internal service fund that is external to the government.

3. To record the internal service fund in the government-wide statements as a part of governmental activities.

It should also be noted that the net income of $84,000 was to be shared as one-third to general government, one-third to public safety, and one-third to public works. This means they'll all receive ($84,000/3) = $28,000 each.

Which of the following expands upon the behavioral intentions model by including a perceived control component that assesses the

Monica [59]

Answer:

The correct answer is a. Theory of planned action.

Explanation:

The theory of planned behavior was developed in 1985, based on the Theory of Reasoned Action. This theory contains five variables that include behavior, intention, attitude, subjective norm and control of perceived behavior.

Unlike the theory of reasoned action, the control of perceived behavior is added to the theory of planned behavior, which refers to a person's perceptions of the presence or absence of resources and opportunities required, however, this element it is not presented in the theory of reasoned action, and the theory of planned behavior has proven to be superior to the theory of reasoned action for predicting behavior.

"The company will pay a dividend of $15 per share 10 years from today and will increase the dividend by 5 percent per year there

statuscvo [17]

Answer:

Current Share price= $114.21

Explanation:

The Dividend Valuation Model is a technique adopted to detremine the value of an asset. According to this model, the value of an asset is the sum of the present values of the future cash flows that would arise from the asset discounted at the required rate of return (discount rate)

The model is premised on the concept of the time value of money. The idea that $1 today is not the same as $1 tomorrow. The $1 of today is worth more than that of tomorrow; because of the opportunity to earn interest. So to determine the worth of a future cash flow, we compute its worth today- its present value.

The Present Value of a future cash flow is the amount that needs to be invested today at a particular rate of return to equal the same cash flow in the future. Present value means the value in year 0 or now

The process of calculating the present value of a future sum is called discounting. So to calculate the current stock price in this question, we shall discount the future dividends using the required rate of return and then add them together.

So if an asset (e.g a stock) promises some cash flows in the future, those cash flows need to be brought to their present values and then be added to arrive at the value of the asset

In this question, the cash flows are the dividends as given and the rate of return (discount rate) is 15%

So we apply this model as follows:

Step 1 : PV of div from year 1 to 10 = 15× ((1-1.15)^(-10))/0.15) = 75.282

Step 2:PV (in year 10)of div from year 11 onward=(15×1.05)/(0.15-0.05)= 157.5

Step 3:PV(in year 0) of div from year 11 onward = 157.5 × (1.15)^ (-10) = 38.93

Current Share price= $75.282 + $38.93 = $114.21

Note: step 3 is important because the the cash flows from year 11 onward were discounted to arrive at their values in year 10. Since we are interested in the current price i.e year 0 value, it is important that we re-discount again to bring them to their PV in year 0.

Animeat is a company that sells food for exotic animals in the UAE. Business is going well but they predict they will have some

N76 [4]

Answer:

Animeat should access a flexible line of credit.

Explanation:

While it is common knowledge that businesses including those that are profitable would at one time or another have cash flow problems, yet it is pertinent for business owners and managers to always plan ahead against lack or shortage of cash flow as such could lead to total collapse of the business or customers/suppliers loss.

With regard to the above scenario, I would suggest Animeat access a flexible line of credit like invoice finance,overdraft facilities or short term business loan etc, inorder to meet up with it's food supply when the time comes. This would give the business quick access to funds/cash hence cushion the effect of cash flow problem during the predicted time.

The most important source of finance is to find the one that suit the business need and in which interest payment will be seamless so that available cash will not be depleted.
