Answer: a. 11.00% - 12.00%

Explanation:

We can find the rate using Excel.

Payments are quarterly so we need to adjust the variables to quarterly figures:

Period = 10 years * 4 = 40 quarters

Present value = $4,610 (should be a negative number)

Future value = $5,000 at maturity

The effective rate will be 2.9% as shown in the attachment.

This is a quarterly figure so convert it to annual:

= 2.9 * 4

= 11.6%

It is between 11% and 12%

Ray Jene earns $900 a week at a Publix supermarket. Ray's payroll deductions are 28%. What is Ray's take-home pay?

kaheart [24]

If Ray earns $900 a week and deductions are 28% Ray's take home pay is:
$648 a week

If we assume that the deductions of 28% are taken out of the $900 weekly we will multiply 900 by 0.28 = 252. Then subtract 252 which is the deduction amount from the 900 and we end up with take home pay of $648.
