Answer:

I'll setup the problem and you can do the calculations

Step-by-step explanation:

Total length of straw - L

Length of piece 1 - x

Length of piece 2 - y

Length of piece 3 - z

What's given and the answer to (i)

y = x - 3

z = 2x

(ii) L = x + y + z = x + x - 3 + 2x

L = 4x-3

(iii) x = (21+3)/4 = 24/4

leaving you to calculate x

then substitute x into expressions for y & z above and you will have the answer

Rachael wants to receive monthly payments of $2,775 for 20 years. How much does she have to invest now in an annuity that offers
adoni [48]

Answer:

$387,336.64 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the amount invested now is shown below:

Here we use the present value formula i.e. to be shown in the spreadsheet

Given that,  

Future value = $0

Rate of interest = 6%  ÷ 12 months = 0.5%

NPER = 20 years × 12 months = 240 months

PMT = $2,775

The formula is shown below:

= -PV(Rate;NPER;PMT;FV;type)

So, after applying the above formula, the present value is $387,336.64 1
