Natalka [10]

Answer: 48%

Explanation:

Based on the information given, the average rate of return will be:

= (Average return) / (Average Investment) x 100

where, average return will be:

= ($240000 × 4)/4

= $240000

Then, annual averay rate of return will be:

= $240000/$500000 × 100

= 48%

If we were able to invest a Gradient = $100 at the end of each year for 7 years at 6% interest (i.e., So at the end of year 1, $

zavuch27 [327]

Answer:

We can withdraw an equivalent annuity of $ 293.658 each year.

Explanation:

We build a scheduled table to know the future value of the gradient investment

Time Beg Gradient Total Rate Ending

1 $100.00 $100.00 $100.00 0.060 $106.00

2 $106.00 $100.00 $206.00 0.060 $218.36

3 $218.36 $200.00 $418.36 0.060 $443.46

4 $443.46 $300.00 $743.46 0.060 $788.07

5 $788.07 $400.00 $1,188.07 0.060 $1,259.36

6 $1,259.36 $500.00 $1,759.36 0.060 $1,864.92

7 $1,864.92 $600.00 $2,464.92 0.060 $2,612.81

Then, we solve for the equivalent annuity-due:

$PV \div \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate}(1+rate) = C\\$

PV 2,613

time 7

rate 0.06

$2612.81 \div \frac{1-(1+0.06)^{-7} }{0.06}(1+0.06) = C\\$

C $ 293.658

Itis annuity due as we will going to retire cash in a 6 year period for seven times. (at each year-end during 6 years thus, annuity-due
