Answer:

-0.11% a year

Explanation:

Susan's real interest rate is the nominal rate of her investment subtracted by the percentage increase in CPI.

The percentage increase in CPI for 2005 was:

CPI = \frac{232-225}{225}*100 \% \\CPI= 3.11 \%

Therefore, Susan's real interest rate (i) was:

i = 3.00 - 3.11\\i = -0.11 \%

I can only put away $2,000 a year toward retirement. I am 25 and plan on retiring at 65 and earning 5%. How much will I have at
Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer: $241,600

Explanation:

As this amount is a constant amount, it is an annuity. To find out the total amount after a certain period of time, use the future value of annuity formula.

Future value of annuity = Amount * [ {( 1 + rate) ^number of periods - 1} / rate]

Number of periods = 65 - 25 = 40

Future value of annuity = 2,000 * [ {(1 + 5%)⁴⁰ - 1} / 5%]

= 241,599.54

= $241,600

romanna [79]

Answer:

Joint Tenancy

Explanation:

Joint tenancy represents a legal contractual arrangement that involves two or more people who have agreed to own a single property sharing both obligations and rights equally.

The terms of join tenancy is such that no one whether the partner or an inheritor of will is able to sell the property in future without the consent of other partners. Secondly, when a partner dies joint tenancy does not transfer assets to heirs instead it is vested in the surviving partner.

It becomes that Bill did not name his wife as his beneficiary, hence Mike inherits the entire 342 acres of land after Bill's death.
