Pierce wishes to purchase a municipal bond with a par value of $500 from Chattahoochee County, and he is trying to decide which

broker he should employ to purchase the bond. Broker A charges a 3.1% commission on the market value of each bond sold. Broker B charges a flat $24 for each bond sold. If the bond has a market rate of 88.754, which broker will give Pierce the better deal, and by how much? a. Broker B’s commission will be $9.75 less than Broker A’s. b. Broker B’s commission will be $3.51 less than Broker A’s. c. Broker A’s commission will be $13.76 less than Broker B’s. d. Broker A’s commission will be $10.24 less than Broker B’s.

Answer:

(d)              

Step-by-step explanation:

Bond's par value = $500

market value of the bond = 88.754% * 500

                                           = 443.77

Commission rate charged by broker A = 3.1%

Commission of broker A = \frac{3.1}{100}*443.77

                                        = $13.75687

Commission of broker B = $24

Difference between the commission of broker A and broker B = 24-13.756

                                                                                                      = $10.24

Hence, (d) Broker A's commission will be $10.24 less then Broker B's.

Answer:He should take the option one of sales commission of 3.1% on

each bond. If he takes the 2nd option, he is required to pay 24$ per

bond. But if he takes the ist option, he is required to pay 15.5$ per bond.

88.754 is the market rate. Total investment is of 500$. Multiply the commission

rate with the amount and you get 15.5 $. There is a difference of 8.5 dollars

between the two options.

The answer is D

The graph shows the solution to which system of equations?
vichka [17]
Start by seeing where the lines go. They cross (intersect) at (1, -1). We can use this to check later.
Now for slope: green is -4/2 = -2
pink is 4/2 = 2
Now we can create the equations
Let's make green = g(x) and pink = p(x)
if we use y = mx + b, then the green has a y-intercept (b) of +1
So g(x) = -2x + 1
pink has a y-intercept of -3, so p(x) = 2x - 3
Now let's plug n play: put our solutions x into each equation and confirm that it makes the y = -1
g(x) = -2x + 1 = -2(1) + 1 = -2+1 = -1
p(x) = 2x - 3 = 2(1) - 3 = 2-3 = -1

✔ YES THEY ARE CONFIRMED

a boy is standing on a pole of height 14.7m throws a stone upwards. it moves in a vertical line slightly away from the pole and
fomenos

Answer:

The time taken for the upward motion is 1 second. The same time is taken for the downward motion

It reaches a maximum height of 4.9 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of motion is:

x(t) = -4.9t^{2} + 9.8t

Since the term which multiplies t squared is negative, the graph is concave down, that is, x increases until the vertex, where it reaches it's maximum height, then it decreases.

Vertex of a quadratic equation:

Quadratic equation in the format x(t) = at^{2} + bt + c

The vertex is the point (t_{v}, x(t_{v})), in which

t_{v} = -\frac{b}{2a}

In this question:

x(t) = -4.9t^{2} + 9.8t

So a = -4.9, b = 9.8

Vertex:

t_{v} = -\frac{9.8}{2*(-4.9)} = 1

The time taken for the upward motion is 1 second.

x(t_{v}) = x(1) = 9.8*1 - 4.9*(1)^{2} = 4.9

It reaches a maximum height of 4.9 meters.

Downward motion:

From the vertex to the ground.

The ground is t when x = 0. So

-4.9t^{2} + 9.8t = 0

4.9t^{2} - 9.8t = 0

4.9t(t - 2) = 0

4.9t = 0

t = 0

Or

t - 2 = 0

t = 2

It reaches the ground when t = 2 seconds.

The downward motion started at the vertex, when t = 1.

So the duration of the downward motion is 2 - 1 = 1 second.

balandron [24]

Answer:

$573

Step-by-step explanation:

955* 0.60=573

or

10% of 955= 95.5

50% of 955=477.5

477.5=95.5=573
