We are asked to determine the present value of an annuity that is paid at the end of each period. Therefore, we need to use the formula for present value ordinary, which is:

Where:

Since the interest is compounded semi-annually this means that it is compounded 2 times a year, therefore, k = 2. Now we need to convert the interest rate into decimal form. To do that we will divide the interest rate by 100:

Now we substitute the values:

Now we solve the operations, we get:

Therefore, the present value must be $39462.50
The answer would look something like this:

There could also have a simplified version.
I hope this helps.
S I took a test and got it right
Answer:
x = 1
y= -2
Step-by-step explanation:
to solve this system of equation , simultaneously using the substitution method
we say let
7 x + y = 5 ............................................. equation 1
2x - y = 4 ................................................... equation 2
from equation 2
2x - y = 4 ................................................... equation 2
2x - 4 = y
y = 2x -4.......................................................... equation 3
put the value of the y = 2x -4 into equation 1
7 x + y = 5 ............................................. equation 1
7x + 2x - 4 = 5
9x-4 = 5
9x = 5 + 4
9x = 9
divide both sides by the coefficient of x which is 9
9x/9 = 9/9
x = 1
substitute the value of x = 1 into equation 3
y = 2x -4.......................................................... equation 3
y = 2(1) -4
y = 2 - 4
y = -2
to check if you are correct put the value of x and y into any of the equations and you will see that the left hand side will be equal to the right hand side.
2x - y = 4 ................................................... equation 2
2(1) -(-2) = 4
2 + 2 = 4
4=4................................... proved
Answer:
5
Step-by-step explanation:
6 x 3 = 18
90 / 18 = 5
