Answer:

a. 7,000 years

b. 2,333 years

c. 875 years

Explanation:

Based on rule of 70, we can have the following formula to do the calculation:

Number of years to double = 70 ÷ Interest rate per year .................... (1)

We can now calculate as follows:

a. A savings account earning 1% interest per year.

Number of years to double = 70 ÷ 1% = 7,000 years

b. A U.S. Treasury bond mutual fund earning 3% interest per year.

Number of years to double = 70 ÷ 3% = 2,333 years

c. A stock market mutual fund earning 8% interest per year.

Number of years to double = 70 ÷ 8% = 875 years

Note:

It can be observed that the higher the interest rate, the lower the number of years it will take the investment to double.

Nana76 [90]

Answer:

103.4709

The computation is shown below:

Given that

U.S inflation rate = 3%

Japan inflation rate = 1.5%

Current exchange rate = 105

= Current exchange rate × (1 + Japan inflation rate) ÷ (1 + U.S inflation rate)

= 105 × (1 + 1.5%) ÷ (1 + 3%)

= 105 × (1.015 ÷ 1.03)

= 105 × 0.985436893

= 103.4709
