The answer is A.
CD(<span>Certificate of Deposit)</span> is similar to a saving account, but it has additional perks. There is a minimum amount of money you have to deposit and you have to deposit that money for a certain amount of time (term). CDs have better interest rate than savings accounts, but if you withdraw your money before the term you pay penalties.
This makes them a good option for people have some extra money that they won't need in a near future.
The applicable formula is;
A = P(1-r)^n
Where;
A = Final purchasing power
P = Current purchasing power
r = inflation
n = Number of years when P changes to A
Confirming the first claim:
A = 1/2P (to be confirmed)
P = $3
r = 7% = 0.07
n = 10.25 years
Using the formula;
A = 3(1-0.07)^10.25 = 3(0.475) ≈ 3(0.5) = $1.5
And therefore, A = 1/2P after 10.25 years.
Now, give;
P = $9
A = 1/4P = $9/4 = $2.25
r = 6.5% = 0.065
n = ? (nearest year).
Substituting;
2.25 = 9(1-0.065)^n
2.25/9 = (1-0.065)^n
0.25 = (1-0.065)^n
ln (0.25)= n ln(1-0.065)
-1.3863 = -0.0672n
n = (-1.3863)/(-0.0672) = 20.63 years
To nearest year;
n = 21 years
Therefore, it would take approximately 21 years fro purchasing power to reduce by 4. That is, from $9 to $2.25.
Answer:
Position analysis questionnaire.
Explanation:
The position analysis questionnaire (PAQ) is a structured job analysis questionnaire that aids the user in conducting a quantified analysis of a given job. To complete a job analysis using the PAQ, the user reviews background information, observes the job, and conducts thorough interviews with job incumbents to determine job content then rates the extent to which each item on a standard list of PAQ job elements applies to that particular job. There are six types of rating scales used in the PAQ:
• Extent of Use;
• Importance to This Job;
• Amount of Time;
• Possibility of Occurrence;
• Applicability; and
• Item-Specific scales.
Answer:
A. $6,400
B. $240
C. $1,000,000
D. $30,000
Explanation:
Requirement A, C, and D:
Prizes and awards are taxable income for a taxpayer. Any awards or prizes won from the lottery or television should be added to the income. Therefore, the Winning lottery is a taxable income for Kerry, $1,000,000. Again, Receiving the award for scientific research is also taxable income for Deborah, $30,000.
The winning award for accomplishments is also a taxable income. So, receiving a $6,400 worth gift bag is a taxable income for Cheline.
Requirement B:
There is an exception if the award is for tangible property and a long-years of accomplishment. At that time, the taxpayers will be excluded from some part of the necessary amounts to be paid as tax. If it is not a qualified award, the exclusion will be $400. If it is qualified, the tax exclusion is 1,600. Since Jon received a gold watch for 25 years of service and the gift is not qualified, he has to pay tax for $(660 - 400) = $240.
