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.

Answer:

The effective annual rate of interest is "10.38%".

Explanation:

The given values are:

Nominal annual interest rate,

Q = 10%

i.e.,

   = 0.10

Quarterly compounding,

q = 4

Now,

The effective annual rate of interest will be:

=  [{1 + (\frac{Q}{q} )}^q] - 1

On substituting the given values in the above formula, we get

=  [{1 + (\frac{0.10}{4} )}^4]  1

=  [(1 + 0.025)^4] - 1

=  (1.025)^4-1

=  1.10381289 - 1

=  0.10381289

On converting it into percentage, we get

=  10.38%

Sliva [168]

Answer:

Incomplete manufacturing costs:

                                                              Case 1               Case 2

Direct materials used                          $9,700              $3,900

Direct labor                                             5,100                 8,100

Manufacturing overhead                       8,400                 4,100

Total manufacturing costs                  23,200               16,100

Beginning work in process inventory    1,100                 9,100

Ending work in process inventory        7,200                 3,100

Sales revenue                                     25,000              31,500

Sales discounts                                     2,600                 1,500

Cost of goods manufactured               17,100               22,100

Beginning finished goods inventory   5,000                 3,400

Goods available for sale                     22,100              25,500

Cost of goods sold                             18,600              22,900      

Ending finished goods inventory        3,500                 2,600

Gross profit                                          3,800                  7,100

Operating expenses                           2,800                  2,000

Net income                                          1,000                   5,100

Explanation:

To work out the missing figures involves some manoeuvres of the figures, working up or down as the case may be.  For example, to calculate the cost of goods sold in Case 1, I deducted the ending inventory of finished goods from the Goods available for sale.  With this figure, it becomes possible to work out the Gross profit and the Net income.
