Answer:

y = 7.678X + 357.614 ;

518.852 ; 526.53 ;

Week 78;

Explanation:

Given the data :

Week Number Week Number Week Number

1 370 7 415 13 450

2 380 8 425 14 455

3 390 9 435 15 475

4 380 10 425 16 485

5 390 11 435 17 495

6 395 12 445 18 505

The linear trend line for expected freight car loading obtained using a linear model calculator is :

y = 7.678X + 357.614

y = expected freight car loading

X = week

m = slope = 7.678 ;

c = intercept = 357.614

B.)

predicted loading for week 21:

X = 21

y = 7.678(21) + 357.614 = 518.852

Predicted loading for week 22:

y = 7.678(22) + 357.614 = 526.53

C.)

Week loading volume should exceed 950:

y = 950

950 = 7.678X + 357.614

950 - 357.614 = 7.678X

592.386 = 7.678X

X = 592.386 / 7.678

X = 77.153685

X = 78 (should exceed 950)

Suppose you need to have $57,411.00 in an account 19.00 years from today and that the account pays 14.00%. How much do you have

sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

You have to deposit 13584.54 dollars in 8 years in order to have 57411 dollars on your account in 19 years.

Explanation:

In order to asses the present value of furture cash flow, we need to look at the formula for present value:

$PV=FV/(1+r)^n$

PV is Present Value, FV is future value, r is the interest rate, n is the number of years.

When we apply the numbers of the question, FV is 57411, r is 0.14 and n is 11 because we will put our deposit in 8 years and 19 - 8 is 11.

When we insert the numbers into the equation we get 13584.54

I hope this makes the answer clearer! :D
