Answer:

d. $ 263.50

Explanation:

The Exchange  rate is 1 dollar = 19.924 Uruguayan Peso.

We need to buy 5000 Uruguayan pesos but the agent requires a comision of  a 5%  when converting currency, so really we will need to buy:

5,000 Uruguayan pesos + 5,000 Uruguayan pesos* 0.05 = 5,250 Uruguayan pesos.

Now if we apply the given exchange rate we will obtain the amount of US Dollars we need:

x U$S = (5,250 Ur.$)/(19,924 Ur.$/U$S)= 263,50 U$S needed

den301095 [7]

Answer: False

Explanation:

The real interest rate is the nominal interest rate adjusted for inflation.

If the nominal interest rate was made with inflation in mind and this inflation is less than anticipated, the real rate will be higher not lower than expected.

For instance: Assume the nominal rate is 8% and the two parties assumed inflation would be 4%. Real rate would be:

= 8 - 4 = 4%

If inflation is instead 2%, real rate would be:

= 8 - 2 = 6%

Real rate would be higher than anticipated.

ou wish to retire in 20 years, at which time you want to have accumulated enough money to receive an annual annuity of $32,000 f
AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

Annual contributions to the retirement fund will be $6,347.31

Explanation:

First find the Present Value of the Annuity giving payments of $32,000 annually for 25 years at the rate of 10%.

Using a Financial Calculator enter the following data

PMT = $32,000

P/y = 1

N = 25

R =  10%

FV = 0

Thus, the Present Value, PV is $290,465.28

At the time of retirement (in 20 years time) the Value of the annuity fund is $290,465.28.

Next we need to find the Payments PMT to reach this amount in 20 years time at the interest rate of 8%

Using a Financial Calculator enter the following data

FV = $290,465.28

N = 20

R = 8 %

PV = $0

Thus, the Payments, PMT required will be $6,347.3080

Conclusion :

Annual contributions to the retirement fund will be $6,347.31
