Lauren plans to deposit $5000 into a bank account at the beginning of next month and $175/month into the same account at the end

Serhud [2]

Answer:

$12,053.86

Explanation:

The easiest way to calculate this is using an excel spreadsheet and the future value function. Using the FV function =FV(rate,nper,pmt)

rate = 3%/12 = 0.25%
nper = 36
pmt = 175

This function will give us the future value of the annuity =FV(0.25%,36,175) = $6,583.60

Now we must add the future value of the original $5,000:

future value = $5,000 x (1 + 0.0025)³⁶ = $5,470.26

total future value = $6,583.60 + $5,470.26 = $12,053.86

if you do not want to use an excel spreadsheet, you can use the following formula:

F = P x ([1 + r]ⁿ - 1 )/r

F = 175 x [(1 + 0.0025)³⁶ - 1] / 0.0025 = $6,583.60

the answer will be the same

olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer and explanation:

The influence a company may have over another when one of them has a number of shares that belongs to the other is determined by the percentage of ownership that the number of shares represent. If its lower than 20%, it is said the company has no influence over the other. From 20% to 50% one company has significant influence over the other. Finally, with more than 50% of the outstanding shares in possession, one company has control over the other.

In that case, CBS Corp. has no influence over Westwood One, Inc. since it owns only 18% of the outstanding shares.
