Total world consumption of iron was approximately 900 million tons in 1993. If consumption had increased by 2.5% each year and t

Step-by-step explanation:

We can model the annual consumption of iron by the equation

c = 900 million tons x 1.025^n, where

n is the number of years after 1993 and

c is the consumption for that year.

An estimate for the total consumption of iron can now be obtained by integrating this equation with respect to a dummy variable, x from 0 to n.

C = 900*10^6* \int\limits^n_0 {1.025^x} \, dx

This equation simplifies to

C = 900 million tons x (1.025^n - 1) / ln(1.025), where

x is a dummy variable and

C is the total consumption of iron n years after 1993.

Let R be the amount of iron remaining at n years after 1993, so

R = 480 billion tons - C

R = 480 billion tons - 900 million tons x (1.025^n - 1) / ln(1.025)

We need to find the value of n when R is 0, so

0 = 480 billion tons - 900 million tons x (1.025^n - 1) / ln(1.025)

Simplify this equation to obtain

n = 107.4

So the iron will run out in the year 1993 + 107 = 2100

Mr. Abaya goy P700,000 loan for the expansion of his business payable monthly in 4years. How much os the monthly amortization if
Vaselesa [24]

The monthly amortization is P23,511.63

<h2>Compound interest</h2>

The formula for calculating the compound interest is expressed as:

A = P(1+r/n)^t

whrere:

  • P is the principal = P700,000
  • r is the rate = 12% = 0.12
  • t is the time = 4 years
  • n = 12

Substitute the parameters

A = 700000(1+0.12/12)^{4(12)}\\&#10;A = 700,000(1.01)^{48}\\&#10;A =1,128,558.25

Calculate the monthly payment:

Monthly payment = \frac{1,128,558.25}{48} =23,511.63

Hence the monthly amortization is P23,511.63
