Regina Henry deposited $20,000 in a money market certificates that provides interest of 10% compound and quarterly if the amount
Andrews [41]

Answer:

Regina: Final amount=$62,769

Will Smith: Present value:  $213,216

Explanation:

Regina:

Compound quarterly means that each quarter of the year ( every three months) she will receive a 10% interest rate of her deposit. To convert this periodic rate to an annual rate( because the problem ask you about years) you use this formula :

Annual rate= ((1+Periodic rate)^(# periods))-1

In this case the number of periods means the number of quarters a year have, which is 4

Annual rate= ((1+10%)^(4))-1= 46.41%

To find the final amount Regina has after 3 year we use this formula:

Final Capital (FC)= Initial Capital (IC)*[(1+interest(i))]^(number of periods(n))

FC= $20,000*[(1+46.41%)^3]

FC=$62,769 I attached an excel figure which shows a more detailed data.

Will Smith

Semiannually means that every 6 months Will Smith will receive a 12% interest rate of the initial investment. To convert this periodic rate to an annual rate you use the same above formula:

Annual rate= ((1+Periodic rate)^(# periods))-1

In each year Will will receive twice the interest rate over the initial investment

Annual rate = ((1+12%)^(2))-1

Annual rate= 25.44%

The present value of $80,000 from now to 5 years is calculated using the formula attached, but I used Excel. First you have to copy all the cash flows of the 5 years. Then, you set the interest rate that in this case is the one that you found above( 25.44%). Finally you use the financial formula "NPV" in this way:

"=NPV(25.44%;C4:C8)" I used C4:C8 because in those excel cells i copied the cash flows.

I got that the present value of this amount is $213,216

The payment to entrepreneurship is called
Novay_Z [31]

<span>Profit is the payment to entrepreneurship. When the entity’s amount earned exceeds the amount spent in buying, operating, or producing something and it has a financial gain, this is then the term we call the profit.  This is what an entity obtains when the amount of revenue from a business activity exceeds the expenses, costs and taxes which are all needed to sustain the activity. The owner may or may not decide to use the profit on the business.  This is also defined as the money the business makes after all the expenses have been taken into account. It is any company’s goal to consistently earn profit. This is the reason why much of business performance is based on the various forms related to profitability. </span>

eduard

Answer: The answer is D $300 computer, $240 oven

Explanation:

According to IRS tables on the calculation of depreciation on computer and oven, it is estimated that an asset such as computer will have a depreciation useful life of 5 years

Therefore since computer cost and printer = $1,500, useful life = 5 year

Cost ÷ useful life

= 1,500 ÷ 5

= $300

For oven since the cost =$1,200, useful life = 5years

Cost ÷ useful life

= 1,200 ÷ 5

= $240
