Answer: $250,096

Explanation:

To find out the amount that should be invested today, one should find the present values of both figures and add them up:

Interest rate should be periodically adjusted so: 8% / 2 = 4% per semi annum

No of periods should be adjusted as well.

Amount to be invested today:

= \frac{190,000}{(1 + 0.04)^{2 * 2 periods} } + \frac{120,000}{(1 + 0.04)^{4 * 2 periods} }\\\\=  \frac{190,000}{(1 + 0.04)^{4} } + \frac{120,000}{(1 + 0.04)^{8} }\\\\= 250,095.62

= $250,096

solong [7]
Exercising doesn't mean you have to spend hours in the gym. Exercises can be done at the comforts of your home too, and there's plenty of exercise available, especially for those who have less time to do so. Just like for example, waiting time. While you are waiting for your clothes in the washing machine to finish, you may use this time to do some basic exercises such as running in place, jumping jacks or carrying weights.

NemiM [27]

Answer:

$85

Explanation:

Costco Medical Supply's inventory:

                   Surgical Eq - Surgical Supp - Rehab Eq - Rehab Supp

Selling price     $260                  $100           $340               $165

Cost                  $170                     $90           $250              $162

Costs to sell     $30                      $15              $25                 $10

If we apply the net realizable value rule, the value of surgical supplies would be:

NRV = $100 = $15 = $85

the NRV is also the lower of cost since $85 < $90
