Alex Meir recently won a lottery and has the option of receiving one of the following three prizes: (1) $94,000 cash immediately

, (2) $38,000 cash immediately and a six-period annuity of $9,700 beginning one year from today, or (3) a six-period annuity of $19,600 beginning one year from today. (FV of $1, PV of $1, FVA of $1, PVA of $1, FVAD of $1 and PVAD of $1) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided.) 1. Assuming an interest rate of 7%, determine the present value for the above options. Which option should Alex choose? 2. The Weimer Corporation wants to accumulate a sum of money to repay certain debts due on December 31, 2030. Weimer will make annual deposits of $190,000 into a special bank account at the end of each of 10 years beginning December 31, 2021. Assuming that the bank account pays 8% interest compounded annually, what will be the fund balance after the last payment is made on December 31, 2030?

Answer:

1. The PV of option 1 which is $94,000 is the highest. Therefore, Alex will choose option 1.

2. The fund balance after the last payment is made on December 31, 2030 will be $2,752,446.87.

Explanation:

1. Assuming an interest rate of 7%, determine the present value for the above options.

The option that Alex will choose will be the one that has the highest present value (PV).

We can calculate the present value of each option as follows:

Option 1: $94,000 cash immediately

PV of option 1 = $94,000

Option 2: $38,000 cash immediately and a six-period annuity of $9,700 beginning one year from today

PV of $38,000 cash immediately = $38,000

PV of a six-period annuity of $9,700 beginning one year from today can be determined using the formula for calculating the present value of an ordinary annuity as follows:

PV of $9,700 annuity = P * ((1 - (1 / (1 + r))^n) / r) …………………………………. (1)

Where;

PV = Present value of the $9,700 annual payments today =?

P = Annual payment = $9,700

r = interest rate = 7% = 0.07

n = number of years = 6

Substitute the values into equation (1) to have:

PV of $9,700 annuity = $9,700 * ((1 - (1 / (1 + 0.07))^6) / 0.07)

PV of $9,700 annuity = $9,700 * 4.7665396597641

PV of $9,700 annuity = $46,235.43

Therefore,

PV of option 2 = PV of $38,000 cash immediately + PV of $9,700 annuity = $38,000 + $46,235.43 = $84,235.43

Option 3: a six-period annuity of $19,600 beginning one year from today

The PV of option 2 can be determined using the formula for calculating the present value of an ordinary annuity as follows:

PV of option 3 = P * ((1 - (1 / (1 + r))^n) / r) …………………………………. (2)

Where;

PV of option 3 = Present value of the $19,600 annual payments today =?

P = Annual payment = $19,600

r = interest rate = 7% = 0.07

n = number of years = 6

Substitute the values into equation (2) to have:

PV of option 3 = $19,600 * ((1 - (1 / (1 + 0.07))^6) / 0.07)

PV of option 3 = $19,600 * 4.7665396597641

PV of option 3 = $93,424.18

Based on the calculations, the PV of option 1 which is $94,000 is the highest. Therefore, Alex will choose option 1.

2. Assuming that the bank account pays 8% interest compounded annually, what will be the fund balance after the last payment is made on December 31, 2030?

This can be determined using the formula for calculating the Future Value (FV) of an Ordinary Annuity is used as follows:

FV = M * (((1 + r)^n - 1) / r) ................................. (3)

Where,

FV = Future value of the deposits after 10 years =?

M = Annual deposits = $190,000

r = annual interest rate = 8%, or 0.08

n = number of years = 10

Substituting the values into equation (3), we have:

FV = $190,000 * (((1 + 0.08)^10 - 1) / 0.08)

FV = $190,000 * 14.4865624659098

FV = $2,752,446.87

Therefore, the fund balance after the last payment is made on December 31, 2030 will be $2,752,446.87.

Explanation:

When I was in school grade 9, I had my first interaction with a robot during a visit to technology expo since then I could not think of anything else but to awe for exploring the fascinating world of robots.

I didn't had much resources to buy tools and components to build robots but still my passion kept me motivated and I found my way to get hands on scrap parts available at the various spots in my locality. Slowly and gradually, I kept learning and building robots and by the time I was in my high school, I had already won 3 major school competitions and received tremendous amount of recognition. Due to my outstanding performance, I was awarded with merit scholarship for the college.

In college, I continued my handwork and kept myself busy in exploring the depth of robotics. I had the pleasure of working on a big project funded by a our college. The project was to build a search and rescue quad-copter. Honestly speaking, it was not easy! I worked day and night tirelessly, and finally after 6 months I successfully built the quad-copter.

My goal is to become an inventor in the field of robotics. Building such robots that can make a difference in our lives and help humanity to grow and thrive. I believe that engineering program at Princeton encourages such passion and vision and would be a great learning platform for me to showcase my talent and skills.

You plan to construct a restaurant on a 20,000 square foot lot
labwork [276]

Answer:

8,000 square foot

Explanation:

Total space available 20,000 square foot.

60 percent  to be used. space left?

If 60% is will be used, only 40% will be availble for construction.

40% of 20,000= 40/100x 20,000

                          =0.4 x 20,000

                          =8,000 square foot

Katarina [22]

Answer:

B. 1 and 2.

Explanation:

Life insurance policy can be defined as a contract between a policyholder and an insurer, in which the insurer agrees to pay an amount of money to a specific beneficiary either upon the death of the insured person (decedent) or after a set period of time.

A decedent refers to a deceased person who is no longer able to control his or her properties (wealth).

Generally, insurance companies across the globe charge millions of their customers (insured) premiums every year. This gives them the privilege of having a pool of cash which can be used to cover the cost of losses and destruction to the asset of a small fraction or percentage of its customers.

This simply means that, since insurance companies collect premium from all of their customers for losses which may or may not occur, so they can easily use this cash to compensate or indemnify for losses incurred by those having high risk.

Death benefit proceeds from a life insurance policy are included in a decedent's gross estate in the following circumstances:

I. The decedent gave the policy to his father four years ago, but retained the right to change the name of the beneficiary.

II. The policy beneficiary is a grantor trust of the decedent but the policy is owned by a closely-held corporation.
