Answer: 21%

Explanation: The developer purchased 3 properties and he can buy each property for $20 per square foot.

Therefore: 75 × 110 =8250 square feet.

8250 × $20 = $165 000 per lot.

Each lot was sold for $200 000. Which means the developer made profits of:

$200 000 - $165 000 = $35 000 per lot.

The percentage of profit on each lot is:

Percentage of profit on cost amount:

= \frac{35 000}{165 000}

= 0.2121212 recurring × 100

= 21,21%

Percentage of profit on sale amount:

= \frac{35000}{200000}

= 0.175 × 100

= 17,5%

Which of the following scenarios illustrates the law of demand?
Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

Option B is correct.

Explanation:

In order to answer this question correctly, we first need to understand the law of demands.

Law of demands: It says that the relationship of price and quantity demanded is inversely proportional. It means if the price of a particular product goes high, then the quantity of demand will be reduced. Similarly, if the price of the product is low then the quantity of demanded will be higher.

Here,

Option B is the most relevant to the Law of Demand which says that Kathleen eats more steak when the price is low. It means when the price is low, the quantity of steak demanded is higher in Kathleen's case. Furthermore, Kathleen eats less when the price is high. It means, when the price of steak is higher then the quantity of steak demanded from Kathleen is low.

Hence, Option B is the correct option which fulfills the law of demand.

Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

c. 10.38%

Explanation:

Loan Amount = $10,000

Quarterly Interest payment = $250

Interest Payment for the year = $250 x 4

Interest Payment for the year = $1,000

Nominal interest rate = ($1,000 / $10,000) x 100 = 10%

Nominal interest rate = r = 10%

Number of periods = m = 4

Effective Interest rate = [ ( 1 + r/m )^m]-1

Effective Interest rate = [ ( 1 + 0.1/4 )^4] -

Effective Interest rate = [ ( 1 + 0.025 )^4] -1

Effective Interest rate = 10.38%

Shoreline Insurance deposited $27,000 in an account paying 4 compounded daily on April 2 and deposited an additional $4,200 in t
nydimaria [60]

Answer:

Balance on balance on July 1 is $31490.67

Explanation:

given data

deposited P =  $27,000

time = April 2  to May 12 = 40 days

rate = 4 % = 0.04

solution

we get here first compound amount that is express as

amount = P × (1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}     ...................1

put her value

amount = 27000 ×  (1+\frac{0.04}{365})^{(365\times \frac{40}{365})}  

amount = $27118.60

and

now we add here $4,200 in $27118.60 that will be

new principal P = $31318.60

and time t = 12 may to July 1 = 50 days

we get here amount that is put value in equation 1 we get

amount = $31318.60 ×  (1+\frac{0.04}{365})^{(365\times \frac{50}{365})}

solve it we get

amount = $31490.67

so that balance on balance on July 1 is $31490.67
