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.

In the first table, y = 4x. So y is proportional to x.

In the second table, y is not proportional to x.

In the third table, 2y = 3x. So, y is proportional to x.

[C] The triangles have the same size.

[D]  The triangles have the same shape.

SAS which it is stands for {side, angle, side} and the meaning of SAS is that we have two triangles where we see two sides and the included angle are equal.

In Order for two triangles to be congruent must have the following below:

  1. Two figures are said to be congruent if they have same size and same shape.
  2. If two figure are congruent that means the corresponding sides will also be congruent.
  3. If two figure are congruent that means the the corresponding angles will also be congruent.

Hence, base on the given all the following are correct:

A. The corresponding sides of the triangles are congruent. √

B. The corresponding angles of the triangles are congruent. √

C. The triangles have the same size. √

D. The triangles have the same shape. √
