Answer:

Holly must save $2845.81 at the end of each year

Explanation:

first calculate the value of tuition fees at n = 18

Cash flow formula = Tuition × (1+0.07)^{n}

Discounted CF formula = Cash flow ÷ (1+0.10)^{year}

               10.00%              0

Year   Cash flows   Discounted CF

0           33,799.32  33799.32

1          36,165.28  32877.52

2          38,696.84  31980.86

3          41,405.62  31108.66

FV = $129,766.37

PV = 0

N = 18

rate = 10%

using PMT function in Excel

Annual contribution = $2845.81

Jlenok [28]

Answer:

$685,000  

Explanation:

First and foremost, the formula for determining the contribution margin ratio can be used to determine the target dollars sales as shown below:

contribution margin ratio=contibution margin/sales revenue

contribution margin ratio=16%

contribution margin required=pretax income+fixed costs

contribution margin required=$71,200+$38,400=$109,600  

16%=$109,600/sales revenue

16%*sales revenue=$109,600

sales revenue=$109,600/16%

sales revenue=$685,000

Jane is a very intelligent graduate of FIN 3601. As such, she knows she should will start contributing into her company's retire
labwork [276]

Answer:

The amount that Jane will have in her retirement account 30 years from now is $943,650.37.

Explanation:

Jane’s monthly savings = $250

Amount added monthly by Jane’s firm = Jane’s monthly savings * Amount added by Jane’s firm for every dollar = $250 * $0.50 = $125

Total monthly savings to Jane’s 401(k) = Jane’s monthly savings + Amount added monthly by Jane’s firm = $250 + 125 = $375

Since Jane decides to allocate $250 at the end of each month into her 401(k), this implies the relevant formula to use to calculate the amount Jane will have in her retirement account 30 years from now is the formula for calculating the Future Value (FV) of an Ordinary Annuity as follows:

FV = M * (((1 + r)^n - 1) / r) ................................. (1)

Where,

FV = Future value or the amount that Jane will have in her retirement account 30 years from now = ?

M = Total monthly savings to Jane’s 401(k) = $375

r = Average monthly interest rate = Average annual interest rate / 12 = 10.50% / 12 = 0.1050 / 12 = 0.00875

n = number of months = number of years * number of months in a year = 30 * 12 = 360

Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:

FV = $375 * (((1 +0.00875r)^360 - 1) / 0.00875) = $375 * 2,516.40 = $943,650.37

Therefore, the amount that Jane will have in her retirement account 30 years from now is $943,650.37.

Kristy visited a car showroom as she wanted to buy a new car. While she was looking at a new range of compact luxury sport sedan
adell [148]

Answer:

Option C.

Explanation:

In terms of making sales, Closing is a term that is used to refer to the moment when a customer decides to make the purchase.

There are numerous closing techniques, and the minor-point close is one of the techniques.

The minor-point close is the technique whereby the salesperson tries to intentionally gain the agreement of the customer or prospect on a minor point, and then uses it to assume that the sale is closed.

This technique is exemplified in the scenario presented above. Edward has concluded that Kristy wants to buy the black car, just because she has agreed that she liked it.

Your cousin is currently 10 years old. She will be going to college in 8 years. Your aunt and uncle would like to have $ 105 com
telo118 [61]

Answer:

$76,134.84

Explanation:

Data provided in the given question

Future value = $105,000

Fixed interest rate = 4.1%

Number of years = 8

The calculation of present value is given below:-

= Future value ÷ (1 + rate of return)^number of years

= $105,000 ÷ (1 + 4.1%)^8

= $105,000 ÷ 1.379132002

= $76,134.84

Therefore, we simply applied the present value formula.

The Chief Information Officer (CIO) and the Managing Director (MD) of Illustrious Limited recently had the following conversatio
-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

Illustrious Limited

a) I sympathize with the MD.  He noted "We have been through these types of projects before, and what always ends up happening is that we do not get the new system we are promised. Instead, we get a modified version of the old system."  The implication of his assertion is that something is missing in the way the CIO and her team had been handling system development projects in the past.  Even the CIO acknowledged the MD's assertions by assuring "that this will not happen this time."  In the past, the system development team had neglected understanding "what is working well and what is not."  This should not be the case in any good system development.  Preliminary analysis or investigation should uncover users' requirements and then conduct a thorough system analysis before the design and other stages are carried out in an iterative process.

b) I would recommend SCRUM instead of the Waterfall methodology.  With Scrum, the system development project is teamwork.   The team is held accountable and SCRUM utilizes iteration to achieve well-defined goals.  The SCRUM framework "begins with a simple premise, starting with what can be seen or known before it tracks progress and tweaks as necessary," to achieve set goals defined by users' requirements.

Explanation:

a) System Development is a process that follows a system development life cycle (SDLC) methodology and involves these seven stages: requirement analysis, system analysis, system design, development or programming, testing, implementation and documentation, and evaluation and support.

b) SCRUM is a framework in SDLC which follows "a set of meetings, tools, and roles that work in concert to help teams structure and manage their work."  SCRUM has been described as "an agile way to manage a project," especially software development because of its "iterative and flexible approaches."

c)  Waterfall model, on the other hand, follows linear sequential phases of conception, initiation, analysis, design, construction, testing, deployment, and maintenance, and each stage depends on the deliverables of the previous stage.  This is why "in software development, it tends to be among the less iterative and flexible approaches, as progress flows in largely one direction ("downwards" like a waterfall) through the phases."
