Answer:

In order to determine the Macauly we must complete the following table:

period      cash flow       PV of             Period x            

                                       cash flow      PV cash flow          

1                  $3                 $2.91                 $2.91

2                 $3                 $2.83                $5.66

3                 $3                 $2.75                 $8.25

4                 $3                 $2.67               $10.68

5                 $3                 $2.59               $12.95

6                 $3                 $2.51                $15.06

7                 $3                 $2.44                $17.08

8              $103                $81.31              $650.48

Total                                                        $723.07

Macauly duration = $723.07 / $87 = 8.31

Modified Macauly duration = Macauly duration / (1 + r) = 8.31 / 1.03 = 8.07

Discuss Two social factors that may contribute to unemployment in South Africa amongst the youth?​
elena55 [62]

Some of the social factors that have led to unemployment in South Africa amongst the youth are:

  • High population growth.
  • High poverty rates.

As a result of high population growth, the number of youth in South Africa  has increased to a point where getting jobs for all of them is quite difficult.

High poverty rates also mean that a lot of the youth are unable to afford a tertiary education which means that they are unable to get the qualifications needed for a job.

tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

Interest= $26,131.91

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Annual deposit= $2,000

Number of periods= 20 years

Interest rate= 5%

<u>First, we need to calculate the future value using the following formula:</u>

FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i

A= annual deposit

FV= {2,000*[(1.05^20) - 1]} / 0.05

FV= $66,131.91

<u>Now, we can determine the interest earned:</u>

Interest= future value - total investment

Interest= 66,131.91 - 20*2,000

Interest= $26,131.91
