What is a power grid?

C) Transmission lines and transformers that take and send electricity from generating facilities to end users

Explanation:

A power grid is a system of interconnected transmission lines and transformers that takes electricity from the producers to the consumers. The power grid is very important in the supply of electricity to consumers. Before power is to be transmitted to the consumers, it has to be generated. Traditionally, the conventional way of generating power was from central power stations that utilized sources like; fossil fuels, coal and natural gas. In the recent past, however, more advancements have been made towards more clean energy sources like; wind, geothermal and hydroelectricity. Clean energy sources have several benefits over the traditional sources of energy, like; they don't cause harm to the environment and also they are renewable since they can be used over and over without depletion.

Once the energy has been harnessed and converted to electricity, it needs to be transmitted. The network for transmission to the consumers is what makes up the power grid. Transmission is usually done at very high voltage to minimize losses. However, before providing it the consumers, the electricity needs to be converted to a low voltage by the use of transformers for domestic and commercial consumption.

Which of the following investments would have the highest future value at the end of 10 years? Assume that the effective annual

LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

The investment that will have the highest future value is option b.

Explanation:

First lets suposse the effective annual rate is 10%

a. Future value= $2,500

c. First you must obtain the net present value of all cash flows with the formula attached, for example:

NVP= ($250/(1+10%)^1)+($250/(1+10%^2)+($250/(1+10%^3)... and so on until year 10

With the excel formula "NPV" you can calculate the net present value specifying the interest rate, the cash flows.

The NPV= $1,536.14

And then you calculate the future value of this answer with this formula:

VF=VP(1+i)^n

VF= $1,536.14*(1+10%)^10

VF=$3,984.36

b. If payments are due at the beginning of every year means that at year 0 you start with $250. You must calculate the NPV in this way

NPV= $250+($250/(1+10%)^1)+ )+($250/(1+10%^2)+($250/(1+10%^3)... and so on until year 10

NPV= $1,786,14

And then you calculate the future value of this answer:

VF= $1,786,14*(1+10%)^10

VF=$4,632.79

d. First, you must convert the annual interest rate into semi-annually interest

10% Annually effective is 4,88% Semi-anually effective

NPV=$125+($125/(1+4,88%)^1)+ )+($125/(1+4,88%^2)+($125/(1+4,88%^3)... and so on until period 20

NPV=$1,698.75

And then you calculate the future value of this answer:

VF= $1,698 *(1+10%)^10

VF=$4,405.37

The investment that will have the highest future value is option b.
