Answer:

4.25%

Explanation:

We need to calculate the net present value of the cash flows to determine the IRR.

NPV = PV of Cash inflows - PV of Cash outflows

As the cash inflow and outflow are fixed for specific period of time so, we will use the annuity formula to calculate the NPV.

NPV = [ $5,000 x ( 1 - ( 1 + 18% )^-5) /18% ] - [ ( $4,000 x ( 1 - ( 1 + 18% )^-12) /18%) x ( 1 + 18%)^-6 ]

NPV = $15,636 - $7,102 = $8,534

We need NPV on a higher rate of 10%

NPV = [ $5,000 x ( 1 - ( 1 + 10% )^-5) /10% ] - [ ( $4,000 x ( 1 - ( 1 + 10% )^-12) /10%) x ( 1 + 10%)^-6 ]

NPV = $18,954 - $15,385 = $3,569

IRR = Lower rate + [ Lower rate NPV / (Lower rate NPV - Higher rate NPV) ] (higher rate - lower rate)

IRR = 10% + [ 3,569 / ($3,569 - $8,534) ] (18% - 10%)

IRR = 4.25%

dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

Total FV= $2,555,406.98

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Investment 1:

Monthly deposit= $300

Number of months= 12*45= 540

Interest rate= 0.09/21= 0.0075

Investment 2:

Monthly deposit= $500

Number of months= 12*20= 240

Interest rate= 0.09/21= 0.0075

To calculate the future value, we need to use the following formula on each investment. I separated into two to simplify calculations.

FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i

A= monthly deposit

Investment 1:

FV= {300*[(1.0075^540) - 1]} / 0.0075

FV= $2,221,463.54

Investment 2:

FV= {500*[(1.0075^240) - 1]} / 0.0075

FV= $333,943.44

Total FV= $2,555,406.98

Phantasy [73]

Answer:

A) Single-server single-phase model (M/M/1).

$\lambda=2.5 \,customers/hour\\\\\mu=6\,customers/hour$

B) The goal is not met, as the average time waiting for service is 5.56 minutes.

C) The new mean service rate is 7.5 customers/hour.

In this case, the average time waiting for service is 4 minutes, so the goal is met.

Explanation:

A) This situation can be modeled as a single-server single-phase model (M/M/1).

The mean arrival rate is 2.5 customers per hour.

$\lambda=2.5 \,customer/h$

The mean service rate is 6 customers per hour, calculated as:

$\mu=\frac{60\, min/h}{10 \,min/customer}=6\, customer/h$

B) The average waiting time for a customer can be expressed as:

$W_q=\frac{\lambda}{\mu}\frac{1}{\mu-\lambda} =\frac{2.5}{6}\frac{1}{6-2.5} =0.417*0.222=0.093\,hours\\\\W_q=0.093\,hours*(60min/h)=5.56 \,min$

The average waiting time is 5.56 minutes, so it is more than the goal of 5 minutes.

C) If the average time spent per customer to 8 minutes, the mean service rate becomes

$\mu=\frac{60\, min/h}{8 \,min/customer}=7.5\, customer/h$

An the average waiting time for the service now becomes:

$W_q=\frac{\lambda}{\mu}\frac{1}{\mu-\lambda} =\frac{2.5}{7.5}\frac{1}{7.5-2.5} =0.333*0.2=0.067\,hours\\\\W_q=0.067\,hours*(60min/h)=4 \,min$

The average time is now 4 minutes, so the goal is achieved.

tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

The amount of real property taxes that Elaine is allowed to deduct for year 1 is $7150.

Explanation:

Elaine started living in the new home from July, which means that she has been living there for 6 months ( as per current date). But at the time when she purchased the house the total amount of property tax was $13,300 and now it is $14,300.

Since last 6 months she has been living in that home, and current property tax is $14,300 , that means now she is allowed a 50% deduction on the property taxes ,

$14,300 / 2 = $7150

Therefore Elaine is allowed $7150 as amount of deduction on property tax.
