slavikrds [6]

Answer:

Explanation:

The interest expense would be

= Borrowing amount × annual rate of interest

= $80,000 × 8%

= $6,400

And, the principal would be

= Annual payment - interest expense

= $20,037 - $6,400

= $13,637

The principal balance on January 1, 2019 would be

= Borrowed amount - principal repaid amount

= $80,000 - $13,637

= $66,363

The interest expense would be

= Borrowing amount of 2019 × annual rate of interest

= $66,363 × 8%

= $5,309

And, the principal would be

= Annual payment - interest expense

= $20,037 - $5,309

= $14,728

Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

$2960 yearly savings

Explanation:

From the values given and from mathematical manipulation, he or she needs a contribution of at least $2900 every year in order to achieve his goal of $50,000.

EXPLANATION

If the child is 5yr old now, in 13years time, she will be 18yr old.

$2950 target yearly

for the next 13years, it would have amount to $38350

remember the bank will give an annual interest rate of 2%

so for 13years, that's 26% = 0.26

In the 13th year, he would have saved $38350, add the 26% interest for the duration of 13years = 26% x $38350 + $38350 = $48321

His savings will fall between $2950 - $2960 yearly.

Answer:

$0.15

Explanation:

Interest is calculated using the formula below.

I = P x i x t

where I = interest

P= principal amount.

i=interest rate

t=time

Interest is given as an annual percentage. A 2.75 % interest will translate to 2.75/100 divided by 12 monthly interest. Therefore, the applicable interest rate is 0.00229 %

interest for the month will be

i=$65 x 0.00229 x 1

=$0.14895

=$0.15
