Let the cost of the shirt be y and the price by the which the shirt is sold is 2y.

Now, let's calculate how much does 15% represent from the price of the shirt:
15% discount = (15/100) x 2y = 0.3y
Therefore, the shirt is sold for : 2y - 0.3y = 1.7y

This means that at 15% discount, the shirt is sold at 1.7 of its original cost.

You wish to buy a cabin in 15 years. TODAY, the cabin costs $150,000. You believe the price of the cabin will inflate at 4% annu
vfiekz [6]

Answer:

I will need to invest 64,669.73 dollars now.

Explanation:

We will calcualte the future value of the cabin considering the inflation:

Principal \: (1+ inflation )^{time} = Amount

Principal 150,000.00

time  15 years

inflation 0.04000

150000 \: (1+ 0.04)^{15} = Amount

Amount 270,141.53

Then we calculate the present value of the lump sum at 15 years discounted at 10% which is the yield of the funds

\frac{Maturity}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV  

Maturity  270,141.53

time   15 years

rate  0.10

\frac{270141.53}{(1 + 0.1)^{15} } = PV  

PV   64,669.73

we would need to deposit 64,669.73 today to get enough cash to purchase the bcabin in 15 years.

Elena L [17]

Answer: $352,000

Explanation:

The information needed to calculate the cash and cash equivalent are:

Balance in checking account, Bank of the East = $ 382,000

The restricted cash included in the checking account = $49,000

Treasury bills = $19,000

We subtract the restricted cash from the balance in the checking account and then add it to the treasury bills. This will be:

= ($382,000 - $49,000) + $19,000

= $333,000 + $19,000

= $352,000
