You currently have $5,400. First United Bank will pay you an annual interest rate of 8.9, while Second National Bank will pay yo
IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

Second National  Bank

Present value (PV) = $5,400

Future value (FV) = $13,900

Interest rate (r) = 10% = 0.10

FV = PV(1 + r)n

$13,900 = $5,400(1 + 0.10)n    

<u>$13,900</u> = (1.10)n

$5,400            

2.574074074 = (1.10)n

Log 2.574074074 = n  log 1.10

<u>Log 2.574074074</u> = n  

Log 1.10                  

n =  9.9 years      

None of the answers is correct                                                                                                                                                          

Explanation:

In this case, we will apply the formula of future value of a lump sum. The present value, interest rate and future value were provided with  the exception of number of years. Thus, the number of years becomes the subject of the formula. The future value equals present value, multiplied                     by 1 plus interest rate, raised to power number of years.

Dima020 [189]

Answer:

option (C) $3,000

Explanation:

Data provided:

Policy duration = 4 years

Policy amount = $12,000

Date on which premium is paid = January 1, 2013

Date on which entry is adjusted = December 31, 2015

Now,

The time passed between January 1, 2013 to December 31, 2015 = 3 years

Therefore,

Amount to be recognized as insurance exp. on December 31, 2015

= \$12,000\times\frac{\textup{Time elapsed}}{\textup{Total policy duration}}

= \$12,000\times\frac{\textup{3}}{\textup{4}}

= $9,000

Thus,

The balance in the prepaid insurance account = $12,000 - $9,000 = $3,000

Hence,

The correct answer is option (C) $3,000
