You deposit $5,000 per year at the end of each of the next 25 years into an account that pays 8% compounded annually. How much

Volgvan

Answer:

The correct answer is A. $18,276

Explanation:

First you have to calculate how much you'd end up having at the end of the 25 years period in your savings account.

You calculate the total amount saved for each year, using the formula:

$S_{n} = S_{n-1} *(1+r)+D$

Where

$S_{n}$ is the total amount in the savings account for this period.

$S_{n-1}$ is the total amount in the savings account from the previous period.

$r$ is the interest rate.

$D$ are the annual deposits being made into the savings account.

Therefore for the first year you'd do:

$S_{1} = S_{0} *(1+r)+D$

$S_{1} = 0*(1+0.08)+5000=5000$

For the second year:

$S_{2} = S_{1} *(1+r)+D$

$S_{2} = 5000*(1+0.08)+5000=10400$

And so on. You can help yourself calculate the value of this series using programs like Excel.

I have attached an Excel file that has a table with the savings values for each of the 25 years.

So, the 25th year you’ll have $365,529.70 in your savings account. Now you simply divide this number by 20 (that will be the number of years you’ll be withdrawing the same dollar amount from your savings account):

$Withdrawals = 365,529.70/20=18,276.485$

In conclusion, you’d be able to withdraw $18,276.485 each year for the following 20 years after the 25th deposit, if all withdrawals are the same dollar amount.

Answer:

$3,483.17

Explanation:

Calculation for the amount of cost allocated to the Cafeteria under the step method

Using this formula

Allocation to Cafeteria=[Cafeteria/(Cafeteria+Producing Department A+Producing Department B)]×Budgeted costs

Let plug in the formula

Allocation to Cafeteria=[25/(25 + 308 + 287)] x $72,450

Allocation to Cafeteria=(25/520)×$72,450

Allocation to Cafeteria=0.0480769231×$72,450

Allocation to Cafeteria=$3,483.17

Therefore the amount of cost allocated to the Cafeteria under the step method would be $3,483.17

Your parents will retire in 19 years. They currently have $300,000, and they think they will need $1 million at retirement. What

Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

rate = 6.54%

Explanation:

we need to find the rate at which a capital of 300,000 becomes 1,000,000 in a period of time of 19 years.

<u>So we build the following equation:</u>

$300,000 (1+r)^{19} =1,000,000$

$(1+r)^{19} =1,000,000 \div 300,000$

$r=\sqrt[19]{1,000,000 \div 300,000}-1$

rate = 0.065417765 = 6.54% after rounding

This will be the rate my parent will require to generate 1,000,000 in 19 years with their current savings of 300,000.
