Anthony and Michelle Constantino just got married and received $29,000 in cash gifts for their wedding. How much will they have

bearhunter [10]

Answer:

Future value will be larger with smaller compounding period; $373.4 more would be earned with shorter compounding period.

Explanation:

Given:

Amount to be invested = 29,000÷2 = $14,500

Duration if amount invested = 25 years

Rate = 4% or 0.04 compounded annually

Value of investment at the end of 25 years = $14,500\times(1+0.04)^{25}$

= $38,654.63

Future value if compounded annually is $38,654.63

Future value if semi-compounded annually:

Duration = 25×2 = 50 periods

Rate = 0.04÷2 = 0.02

Value of investment at the end of = $14,500\times(1+0.02)^{50}$

= $39,028.03

Future value if semi-compounded annually is $39,028.03

As such, future value is larger if compounding period was 6 months.

They would have earned $373.40 more that is (39,028.03 - 38,654.63), with shorter period.

Answer:

Labour hours constraint : 2a + 2b + 3c ≤ 150

Explanation:

Linear programming is a mathematical model that is used to solve a problem when a firm wants to maximize profit in the midst of multiple resource constraints.

The following steps should be followed:

Step 1: Define the variables

a= the units of product Anchor

b= the units of product Bearing

c= the units of product Casting

Step 2: Define the constraints:

The constraints represent the limitations which could be resource; in this case machine hours and direct labour hours. Since the constraint in focus is labour hours , so we only consider it.

Subject

Constraints: Labour hours : 2a + 2b + 3c ≤ 150

Non-negativity constraints a, b , c ≥ 0

Since the total available labour hours is 150 hours then the total consumption hours can either be equal to or less than 150, but can never be higher than 150.

The labour hours constraint is represented by 2a + 2b + 3c ≤ 150
