Answer:

A = $4,269.61

Explanation:

This question is a compound interest problem, we will use the compound interest formula to solve the given problem.

Formula formula for compound interest is by;

A = P (1+ r÷n)^nt

We are given the following values as ;

P= $3,500

r = 5% = 0.5

n = 4

t = 4

Substituting the values into the formula we have;

A = $3,500( 1+ 0.5÷4)^4×4

A = $3,500(1 +0.0125)^16

A = $3,500(1.0125)^16

A = $3,500× 1.22

A = $4,269.61

Answer:

Alma would have $ 4,269.61   for her trip in four years' time

Explanation:

The amount she would have for her trip in four years' time can be computed using the future value formula which is given as:

FV=PV*(1+r/t)^N*t

PV is the amount she has today which is $3,500

r is the rate of return the credit union offered her,that 5%

t is the number of times in a year the interest is compounded which is 4

N is the number of years the investment would last which is 4 years

FV=$3,500*(1+5%/4)^4*4

FV=$3,500*(1+1.25%)^16

FV=$3,500*(1.0125)^16

FV=$3,500*1.219889548

FV=$4,269.61  

Alma would have $ 4,269.61   for her trip in four years if the $3,500 is invested at 5% compounded quarterly

Maslowich

Answer:

The answer is 5.73%

Explanation:

Given Coupon rate=5.5%; Years of maturity= 12years, Face value bonds= $1,000, Price=98.2

NPER= Years of maturity *2= 12*2=24

PMT= (Face value * coupon rate)/2= (1000*5.5)/2= 5500/2= 2.75

Therefore:

Rate = (NPER, PMT, -Price, Face value)= (24, 2.75, -98.2, 1000)= 2.87%

Yield to maturity= Rate *2= 2.87*2= 5.73%

Suppose you are trying to understand the effect that an increase in the price of grapes will have on the market for wine.
NemiM [27]

Answer:

The correct answer is option d.

Explanation:

The most effective model to understand the effect of change of a variable on other variable is by assuming other factors to be constant. This simplifies the model and helps in easily understanding the relationship between the two variables.  

Though the assumption of other things being constant does not apply in the real world, it is still used as otherwise change in other factors would complicate the model. If several factors change it would be difficult to understand the relationship between variables.  

Here, to study the effect of change in the price of grapes on the market for wine, it is necessary to assume other factors such as income, consumer preferences, etc to be constant.

After visiting several automobile dealerships, Richard selects the used car he wants. He likes its $11,500 price, but financing
aksik [14]

Explanation:

I = Prt

I = (10000)(.11)(4) = $4400

Total Cost = Down Payment + Principal Borrowed + Interest

Total Cost = 2000 + 8000 + 4400

= $14,400

Monthly Payment = (Principal Borrowed + Total interest) / Total number of payments

Monthly Payment = (10,000 + 4400) / 48

= $300

APR= (2 × n × I) / [P × (N + 1)]

APR = (2 × 12 × 4400) / [10,000 × (48+1)]

= 21.55%
