Answer:

1.97 years

Step-by-step explanation:

First, convert R as a percent to r as a decimal

r = R/100

r = 8/100

r = 0.08 per year,

Then, solve the equation for t

t = ln(A/P) / n[ln(1 + r/n)]

t = ln(17,500.00/15,000.00) / ( 2 × [ln(1 + 0.08/2)] )

t = ln(17,500.00/15,000.00) / ( 2 × [ln(1 + 0.04)] )

t = 1.965 years

Ganezh [65]
Present value of annuity is given by PV = P(1 - (1 + r)^-n)/r
25230 = P(1 - (1 + 0.0671/12)^-36)/(0.0671/12)
P = 0.0671(25230) / 12(1 - (1 + 0.0671/12)^-36) = 775.69

Therefore, you pay 36 x 775.69 = $27,924.84 over the life time of the loan.

Mary earns $28,000 a year. One week she grossed $658.00. She had sold $1673.19 worth of merchandise. what is the rate of her com
mart [117]

Answer:

Her commission rate is 7.44%

Step-by-step explanation:

The parameters given are;

The amount Mary earns annually = $28,000

The amount Mary grossed during a week = $658.00

The amount Mary had sold during the week to make the amount grossed during the week = $1673.19

Given that Mary makes $28,000 per year

Therefore;

The amount Mary earns per week = Amount earned per year/52

The amount Mary earns per week =  $28,000/52 = $538.46

The amount extra she made on commission = $658.00- $538.46= $119.54

The commission rate = Commission earned/(Amount of merchandise sold)×100

The commission rate = 119.54/1673.19 × 100 = 7.14%

Her commission rate = 7.44%
