Jeff, a local traffic​ engineer, has designed a new pedestrian foot bridge that is capable of handling the current traffic rate

of 300 pedestrians daily. Once the traffic rate reaches 2 comma 000 pedestrians​ daily, however, the bridge will require a new bracing system. Jeff has estimated that traffic will increase annually at 3 ​%. How long will the current bridge system work before a new bracing system is​ required? What if the annual traffic rate increases at 8 ​% ​annually? At what traffic increase rate will the current system last only 12 ​years?

Answer:

a. How long will the current bridge system work before a new bracing system is​ required?: 64.18 years or 64 years and 2 months.

b. What if the annual traffic rate increases at 8 ​% ​annually: The bracing system will last for 24.65 years or 24 years and 7 months.

c. At what traffic increase rate will the current system last only 12 ​years: 17.13%

Explanation:

a. Denote x is the time taken for the number of pedestrian to grow from 300 to 2000. The current pedestrian is 300, the grow rate per year is 3% or 1.03 times a year. Thus, to reach 2,000, we have the equation: 300 x 1.03^x = 2000. Show the equate, we have 1.03^x = 6.67 <=> x = 64.18

b.  Denote x is the time taken for the number of pedestrian to grow from 300 to 2000. The current pedestrian is 300, the grow rate per year is 8% or 1.08 times a year. Thus, to reach 2,000, we have the equation: 300 x 1.08^x = 2000. Show the equate, we have 1.08^x = 6.67 <=> x = 24.65.

c. Denote x as traffic increase rate. The current pedestrian is 300, the grow rate per year is (1+x) times a year. Thus, to reach 2,000 after 12 years and thus a new bracing system to be in place, we have the equation: 300 x (1+x)^12 = 2000. Show the equate, we have (1+x)^12 = 6.67 <=> 1+x = 1.1713 <=> x = 17.13%.

(B) current ratio = 1.49

(C) debt to assets = 54.6153%

working capital

current assets - current liabilities

4,570 - 3,060 = 1,510

current ratio

current assets / current liab

4570/3060 = 1.493464052

An investor deposits 50 in an investment account on January 1. The following summarizes the activity in the account during the y
ANTONII [103]

Answer:

236.25

Explanation:

Calculation to determine X

First step is to calculate the 6 months Yield

6 month Yield=(40/40+20) (80/40+20) (157.60/80+80)+1)

6 month Yield=(40/60) (80/60) (157.60/160)-1

6 month Yield=5%

Second step is to calculate the Annual equivalent

Annual equivalent=(1.05)^2-1

Annual equivalent=10.25%

Third step is to calculate the 1 year yield

1 year yield=(40/50) (80/40+20) (175/80+80) (x/175+75)

1 year yield=(40/50) (80/60) (175/160) (x/250)-1

1 year yield=0.1025

Now Let calculate X

x(0.004667)=1+.1025

x(0.004667)=1.1025

x=1.1025/0.004667

x=236.25

Therefore X is 236.25

Margaret [11]

Answer:

$26,898.25

Explanation:

Jenna'a taxable ordinary income = $126,000 - $6,100 (standard deduction) - $3,900 (personal exemption) = $116,000

ordinary income taxes = $17,891.25 + [($116,000 - $87,850) x 28%] = $25,773.25

capital gains taxes = $7,500 x 15% = $1,125

total tax liability = $25,773.25 + $1,125 = $26,898.25

A two-step binomial tree is used to value an option on the Australian dollar (AUD). The strike price is 1.00 USD per AUD and the
ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

a.) The proportional up movement , u, for the currency can be calculated using the following formula:

u = eStd Dev * Square root of t

u = e0.06*square root of 0.25

u = 1.0305

b.) Probability of up movement, p , = (a - d) / (u - d)

where   a = ert where r = 0.025, t = 0.25

a = e0.025*0.25 = 1.0063

d = 1 / u = 1 / 1.3050 = 0.7663

p = (1.0063-0.7663) / (1.3050-0.7663)

p = 0.46

1-p = 1-0.46 = 0.54

c)  Price of an American Call Option on the currency : we use binomial tree for that , as follows: The amounts below line indicate the option price and figures above line indicate the underlying asset price which is 0.55555
