When Alfred Nobel died, he left the majority of his estate to fund five prizes, each to be awarded annually in perpetuity starti

ng one year after he died. (a) If he wanted the cash award of each of the five prizes to be $48,000 and his estate could earn 11% per year, how much would he need to fund his prizes? (b) If he wanted the value of each prize to grow by 5% per year (perhaps to keep up with inflation), how much would he need to leave? Assume that the first amount was still $48,000. (c) His heirs were surprised by his will and fought it. If they had been able to keep the amount of money you calculated in (b), and had invested it at 11% per year, how much would they have in 2014, 118 years after his death?

Answer:

Explanation:

a)

a Annual cash flow        48,000 × 5 =  240,000

b Rate of interest        11%

   c = a/b  present value 2,181,818.18

Amount he need to fund his prizes = 2,181,818.18

b)

a Annual cash flow          240,000

b Rate of interest 11%

c growth rate 5%

       d = a/(b-c) Present value 4,000,000

  Amount required to fund prizes= 4,000,000

c)

Future value FV = PV * (1+r)^N  

Present value PV = 4,000,000  

Rate of interest r = 11.00%  

Number of years N = 118  

Future value FV= 4000000 *(1+0.11)^118

FV= 891,602,932,376.1

Value of amount today = 891,602,932,376.1

Mama L [17]

antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

C. Proofreading

Explanation:

Option A is wrong. In an instant message, no one is trying to create a content outline as it is not a letter or assignment.

Option B is incorrect. An instant message can be sent to many people at a time. Therefore, maximizing the number of receivers is the main idea while writing an instant message.

Option D is also not correct. Acronyms are hard to understand. Writing acronyms in an instant message will be challenging for the receivers.

Option E cannot be the answer as an instant message can be sent anytime. Therefore, it can be increased.

<em>Option C</em> is correct because while writing an instant message, proofreading is a necessary stage. If anything misspelled or miswritten, the explanation will change.
