Ana has won a lottery. She was offered two options to receive the award: She can either take it in five installments of $60,000

annually, starting from now; or she can take a lump-sum of $255,000 now. Assuming (a) interest at an annual rate of 5% compounded annually, or (b) interest at an annual rate of 6% compounded continuously, which option should she choose under the consideration of cash value only?
A) If the interest is at the annual rate of 5%, compounded annually, then the present value of the five installments is $______. B) If the interest is at the annual rate of 6%, compounded continuously, then the present value of the five installments is $______.

Answer:

Results are below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Giving the following information:

She can either take it in five installments of $60,000 annually, starting from now; or she can take a lump-sum of $255,000 now.

<u>First, we determine the value of the 5 installments using a 5% annual compounded rate.</u>

We calculate the future value, and then the present value:

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

A= annual payments

FV= {60,000*[(1.05^5) - 1]} / 0.05

FV= $331.537.88

PV= FV/(1+i)^n

PV= $259,768.60

At an annual rate of 5% compounded annually, she should choose the five installments instead of the $255,000.

<u>Now, if the annual rate is 6% continuously compounded.</u>

<u>First, we need to calculate the effective interest rate:</u>

r= e^i - 1

r= effective inerest rate

r= e^0.06 - 1

r= 0.0618

FV= {60,000*[(1.0618^5) - 1]} / 0.0618

FV= 339,443.23

PV= 339,443.23/1.0618^5

PV= $251,509.01

At an annual rate of 6% compounded continuously, she should choose the $255,000.

Find the area of this triangle, round to the nearest tenth, I will give brainliest
Setler79 [48]

Answer:

59.15 in^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Using Heron's formula

semiperimeter , s = 1/2 ( 28.8+18+12) = 29.4

Area = sqrt ( 29.4(29.4-28.8)(29.4-18)(29.4-12) ) = 59.15 in^2

The function ƒ(x) = (x − 1)^2 + 5 is not one-to-one. Find a portion of the domain where the function is one-to-one and find an i
melisa1 [442]

Answer:

f(x)=(x-1)^2+5 with domain x>1 and range y>5 has inverse g(x)=sqrt(x-5)+1 with domain x>5 and range y>1.

Step-by-step explanation:

The function is a parabola when graphed. It is in vertex form f(x)=a(x-h)^2+k where (h,k) is vertex and a tells us if it's reflected or not or if it's stretched. The thing we need to notice is the vertex because if we cut the graph with a vertical line here the curve will be one to one. So the vertex is (1,5). Let's restrict the domain so x >1.

* if x>1, then x-1>0.

* Also since the parabola opens up, then y>5.

So let's solve y=(x-1)^2+5 for x.

Subtract 5 on both sides:

y-5=(x-1)^2

Take square root of both sides:

Plus/minus sqrt(y-5)=x-1

We want x-1>0:

Sqrt(y-5)=x-1

Add 1 on both sides:

Sqrt(y-5)+1=x

Swap x and y:

Sqrt(x-5)+1=y

x>5

y>1

Let A= {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10}. Suppose an element of A is randomly selected. What is the probability that it belongs to
gregori [183]
<h3>Answer:  3/5</h3>

============================================================

Explanation:

The set {1, 2}U{2, 6, 7, 9}U{5, 6, 7} simplifies to {1,2,5,6,7,9} after we combine everything and sort the values. We toss any duplicates.

Let B = {1,2,5,6,7,9}

There are 6 items in set B out of 10 items in set A.

The probability of landing in set B, if you pick something randomly from A, is 6/10 = 3/5
