Answer:

4%

Explanation:

Simple interest is calculated using the formula

I = p x r x t

in this case, the interest I is the total amount-principal amount

I = $50,000- $46,875

=$3,125

$3,125 = 46,875 x r x 1 year 8 months

$3,125 =46,875 x r/100 x 1.67

3125=78,281.25 x r/100

$3125 x 100 = 78,281.25 x r

$312500= 78,281.25

r=312500/78,281.25

r=3.992

r=4%

When should cost, revenue, profit, or investment center be used?
Eduardwww [97]
A concept in managerial accounting, responsibility centers are a method of measuring and evaluating the effectiveness of managers tasked with decision making for their business unit. Not all units of a business have the capacity to generate profit, but instead some support vital functions that incur costs for a business for example, the transportation department in a hospital. A cost center is a unit that does not generate revenue. A revenue center has responsibility for generating revenues, and in most cases will be the same as a profit center, as all units have some level of costs. An investment center is usually found at higher levels in an organization where a unit manager has the responsibility of generating returns on investment capital. I hope this might help you !
