Your grandfather put some money in an account for you on the day you were born. You are now years old and are allowed to withdra

sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:

Missing word <em>"You are now 18 years old and are allowed to withdraw the money for the first time. The account currently has $3996 in it and pays an 8% interest rate."</em>

a. At 18 years, future value of current amount (compounded for another 7 years at 8%)

= $3,996 * (1.08)^7

= $3,996 * 1.7138

= $6,848.34

b. At age 65, future value of this amount (compounded for another 40 years at 8%)

= $6,848.44 * (1.08)^40

= $6,848.44 * 21.7245

= $148,779.93

c. Future Value = Present Value * (1 + Interest Rate)^n

So, let initial the money deposited be represented by Y

=> $3,996 = Y * (1.08)^18

=> $3,996 = Y * 3.996

Y = $3,996 / 3.996

Y = $1,000

liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

Stillman should register as an investment adviser representative in state P.

Explanation:

Investment adviser representatives (IARs) must necessarily register in the state that they work in. In this case, Rock, Feller, and Standard (RFS) must be registered in all the states where it has offices functioning, but Stillman only needs to register in the state where his office is. If Stillman worked half year in state P and the other half in state M, then he would need to register in both states. But since this is not the case, then registering in state P should be enough.

Answer:

The answer is C.

Explanation:

Credit sales is $6,000

Bad debt is 3% of net credit sales which is $180($6,000 x3%)

Lin Corporation has a single product whose selling price is $134 per unit and whose variable expense is $67 per unit. The compan

podryga [215]

Answer:

1. 600 units

2. $81,800

Explanation:

In this question we use the formula of break-even point in unit sales which is shown below:

= (Fixed expenses + target profit) ÷ (Contribution margin per unit)

where,

Contribution margin per unit = Selling price per unit - Variable expense per unit

= $134 - $67

= $67

And, the other items values would remain the same

Now put these values to the above formula

So, the value would equal to

= ($32,300 + $7,900) ÷ ($67)

= ($402,00) ÷ ($67)

= 600 units

2. Break even point = (Fixed expenses + desired profit) ÷ (Profit volume Ratio)

And, Profit volume ratio = (Contribution margin per unit) ÷ (selling price per unit) × 100

So, the Profit volume ratio = ($67) ÷ ($134) × 100 = 50%

The other values would remain same

Now put these values to the above formula

So, the value would equal to

= ($32,300 + $8,600) ÷ (50%)

= $81,800
