Find the savings plan balance after 2 years with an APR of 4% and monthly payments of $250. The balance is $ (Do not round until

alexdok [17]

Answer:

$6,506.51

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that increasing an amount C in x% is equivalent to multiply it by (1+x/100)

As we have 4% APR, the monthly interest would be (4/12)% = 0.04/12

Month 0 (first payment)

$250

Month 1

$250 + 250 \frac{0.04}{12}= 250(\frac{12.04}{12})$

Month 2

$250(1+\frac{12.04}{12}+(\frac{12.04}{12})^2)$

Month 3

$250(1+\frac{12.04}{12}+(\frac{12.04}{12})^2+(\frac{12.04}{12})^3)$

Month 24 (2 years)

$250(1+\frac{12.04}{12}+(\frac{12.04}{12})^2+(\frac{12.04}{12})^3+...+(\frac{12.04}{12})^{24})$

The sum

$1+\frac{12.04}{12}+(\frac{12.04}{12})^2+(\frac{12.04}{12})^3+...+(\frac{12.04}{12})^{24}$

is the sum of the first 24 terms of a geometric sequence with common ratio $\frac{12.04}{12}$ which is

$\frac{1-(12.04/12)^{25}}{1-(12.04/12)}=26.02603071$

so, after 2 years the saving balance is

250*26.02603071 = 6,506.50767= $6,506.51 rounded to the nearest cent.

Question 30 The Royal Fruit Company produces two types of fruit drinks. The first type is pure fruit juice, and the second type

Flura [38]

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

The Royal Fruit Company produces two types of fruit drinks. The first type is 65% pure fruit juice, and the second type is 90% pure fruit juice. The company is attempting to produce a fruit drink that contains 85% pure fruit juice. How many pints of each of the two existing types of drink must be used to make 80 pints of a mixture that is 85% pure fruit juice?

Answer: Let x be the number of pints of the first fruit juice (i.e 65%) and y be the number of pints of the second fruit juice (i.e 90%).

Since the total number of pints to make the 85% pure fruit juice is 80, it can be represented using the equation:

x + y = 80 . . . 1)

Also, x pints of the first juice = 0.65x, y pints of the second juice = 0.9y and 80 pints of the mixture to be produced = 80(0.85) = 68. Therefore:

0.65x + 0.9y = 68 . . . 2)

We have to solve equation 1 and 2 simultaneously, first multiply equation 1 by 0.65 to get equation 3:

0.65x + 0.65y = 52 . . . 3)

Subtract equation 3 from 2 and solve for y:

0.25y = 16

y = 16/0.25 = 64

y = 64 pints

Put y = 64 in equation 1:

x + 64 = 80

x = 80 - 64 = 16

x = 16 pints

Therefore 16 pints of the 65% pure fruit juice, and 64 pints of the 90% pure fruit juice is required to make 80 pints of 80% fruit juice.
