Let’s just say that the entire year is 365 days. So, we need to divide the APR (13.50%) to 365. This gives us a value of 0.037% and since the the billing cycle is 30 days, we need to multiply 0.037% to 30 to get it’s periodic interest rate. Therefore, the periodic interest rate is 1.11%.

Answer:
Total FV= $46,008.31
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Deposit 1= $12,000
Deposit 2= $15,000
Deposit 3= $10,000
Interest rate= 0.055
<u>To calculate the future value, we need to use the following formula on each deposit:</u>
FV= PV*(1+i)^n
FV1= 12,000*(1.055^5)= 15,683.53
FV2= 15,000*(1.055^4)= 18,582.37
FV3= 10,000*(1.055^3)= 11,742.41
Total FV= $46,008.31
Answer:
Imagine that you have won $100 in the state lottery. You have a choice between spending the money on shopping now or putting it away in a
savings account for one year. You decide to spend the money now on shopping. Thus, you will lose the interest that you could have earned by
saving the money. The lost interest is the
<u><em> opportunity cost</em></u> cost of spending money now.
Explanation:
The opportunity cost is the price you pay for not choosing best second alternative when you make a decision. In this case the person has two options:
1. Spending the money
2. Save the money
Once the money is spending the opportunity costs is generated and it is measure by the interest rate lost for not keeping the money in a savings account that will generate an interest rate known as APY Annual Percentage Yield.
What's the question? This is just a statement.
