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

With the help of exporting, she can also get the insights about that market's buying patterns as well that which products are in high demand there and can be sold profitably.

Consider a $2,700 deposit earning 6 percent interest per year for 9 years. How much total interest is earned on the original dep
kaheart [24]

Answer:

Total interest earned on the original deposit=$403.593

Explanation:

Total Interest earned after 6 years using compound Interest:

FV=PV(1+i)^n

Where:

PV is the deposit amount

i is the interest Rate

FV=\$2,700(1+0.06)^9

FV=$4561.593

Total Interest earned after 6 years=FV-PV

Total Interest earned after 6 years=$4561.593-$2,700

Total Interest earned after 6 years=$1861.593

Total Interest earned after 6 years using single Interest:

Total Interest=$2,700*0.06*9

Total Interest =$1458

Total interest earned on the original deposit=Total Interest earned after 6 years-Total Interest

Total interest earned on the original deposit=$1861.593-$1458

Total interest earned on the original deposit=$403.593

Which do you prefer of the options below? Is there an interest rate at which you switch your preference? If so, what is the rate
elena-s [515]

Answer:

As the first payment occurs on option 7 n interest rate higher enough can make the 50 dollars received first make the difference.

The switch produced at a rate of :

300%

Interest rate below this mark favor option 6

while higher than this favor option 7

Explanation:

Option 6

perpetuity of 100 discounted 1.5 year

\frac{100}{r} (1+r)^{-1.5}

perpetuity of 50 every 3 years discounted 3 years

as the payment are every three years we calcualte an equivalent rate:

(1+r)^{3} -1 =r_e

\frac{50}{(1+r)^{3} -1} (1+r)^{-1.5}

Option 7

perpetuity of 50 discounted 1 year

\frac{50}{r} (1+r)^{-1}

perpetuity of 100 every 2 years discounted 2.5 years

equivalent biannual rate

(1+r)^{2} -1 =r_e

\frac{100}{(1+r)^{2} -1} (1+r)^{-2.5}

having the formulas

we can do it on excel solver to look at which rate the switch produces
