Xavier and alex plan on retiring 27 years from today. at that time, they plan to have saved the same amount. javier is depositin

hammer [34]

The amount by which Alex's deposit amount vary from Javier's if Alex also makes a deposit today, but earns an annual interest rate of 6.2 percent is $3381.39.

<h3>How to calculate the value?</h3>

We use the formula:

A=P(1+r/100)^n

where

A=future value
P=present value
r=rate of interest
n=time period.

Hence future value Javier will be:

=$15000*(1.052)^27

=$58,954.40

For Alex:

58,954.40=P*(1.062)^27

P=58,954.40/(1.062)^27

=$11618.61

Hence difference will be:

=15000 - 11618.61

= $3381.39

a) Data and Calculations:

Sales of ice cream during June = 8,800 servings

Price per serving = $5

Sales revenue = $44,000 ($5 * 8,800)

Purchase cost of ice cream in large tubs = $14 * 8,800/28 = $4,400

Purchase cost of ice cream cones = $0.15 * 8,800 = $1,320

Total cost of direct materials = $5,720

Fixed costs:

Rent = $2,050 per month

Depreciation = $220

Other operating expenses:

Fixed operating expense = $2,100 ($2,800 * 75%)

Variable operating expense = $700 ($2,800 * 25%)

You purchased an annual interest coupon bond one year ago that had six years remaining to maturity at that time. The coupon inte

Marat540 [252]

Answer:

The correct answer to the following question will be "8%".

Explanation:

The given values are:

Number of years of maturity = 5 years

Interest rate of coupon = 10%

= 10%×1000

= 100

Yield to maturity, YTM = 8%

As we know,

Price of Bond = PV of Coupons + PV of Per Value

On putting the values in the above formula, we get

⇒ = $\frac{100\times (1-(1+8 \ percent^{-5}))}{8 \ percent} +\frac{1000}{1+8 \ percent^{5}}$

⇒ = $1079.85$

After 1 years, we get

Price of Bond = PV of Coupons + PV of Per Value

On putting the values in the above formula, we get

⇒ = $\frac{100\times (1-(1+8 \ percent^{-4}))}{8 \ percent} +\frac{1000}{1+8 \ percent^{4}}$

⇒ = $1066.24$

Now,

The total return rate = $\frac{(1066.24-1079.85+100)}{1079.85}$

= $\frac{86.39}{1079.85}$

= $8 \ percent$
