How Much Have I Saved? Portfolio

The time value of money calculation can be performed using formula equations or online calculators.

The correct responses are;

  • 1) Option 3
  • 2) Option 2
  • 3) The difference in principal is approximately $8,000
  • The difference in interest earned is approximately $2,977.87
  • 4) It is better to invest more money at the beginning of the 30 years

Reasons:

Option 1: Present value = 0

Amount invested per month, A = $25/month

The Annual Percentage Rate, APR, r = 3.25%

Number of years = 30

The future value of an annuity is given by the formula;

\displaystyle FV_{A} = \mathbf{A \cdot \left (\frac{ \left(1 + \frac{r}{m} \right)^{m\cdot t} - 1}{\frac{r}{m} } \right)}

In option 1, m = 12 periods per year

Therefore;

\displaystyle FV_{A} = 25 \times \left (\frac{ \left(1 + \frac{0.0325}{12} \right)^{12 \times 30} - 1}{\frac{0.0325}{12} } \right) \approx  \mathbf{15,209.3}

Contribution = $25 × 12 × 30 = $9,000

Total interest earned = $15,209.3 - $9,000 = $6,209.3

Final balance = $15,209.3

Option 2: Present value = 0

Amount, A = $75/quarter

m = 4 periods per year

The Annual Percentage Rate, APR = 4.00%

Therefore;

The effective interest rate is therefore;

\displaystyle r_{eff} = \left(1 + \frac{0.04}{4} \right)^4 - 1 \approx \mathbf{0.04060401}

\displaystyle FV_{A} = 75 \times \left (\frac{ \left(1 + \frac{0.04060401}{4} \right)^{4 \times 30} - 1}{\frac{0.04060401}{4} } \right) \approx  17,437.7

Using an online calculator, FV = $17,467.04

Contribution = $75 × 4 × 30 = $9,000

Total interest earned = $17,467.04 - $9,000 = $8,467.04

Final balance = $17,467.04

Option 3: Present value = $1,000

APR = 6.25%

m = 12 period per year

Number of years, t = 30 years

Therefore;

\displaystyle FV = \left (1 + \frac{0.0625}{12} \right)^{12 \times 30} \approx \mathbf{6,489.17}

Contribution = $1,000

Total interest earned = $6,489.17 - $1,000 = $5,489.17

Final balance = $6,489.17

The table of values is therefore;

  • \begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|c|}Option \# &Contribution &Total Interest Earned&Final Balance\\1&\$9,000&\$6,209.3 & \$15,209.3\\2&\$9,000&\$8,467.04 &\$17,467.04\\3&\$1,000&\$5,489.17&\$6,489.17\end{array}\right]

1) The option that has the least amount invested are <u>option 3</u>

Option 3 investment plan is a present value of $1,000, invested for 30 years at 6.25% APR compounded monthly.

2) <u>Option 2</u> yielded the highest amount at the end of 30 years, given that the APR is higher than the APR for option 1, although the amount invested over the period are the same.

The basis of option 2 investment plan is $75 invested quarterly at 4.00% APR compounded monthly for 30 years.

3) The difference in the principal invested for the highest and lowest final balance is $9,000 - $1,000 = <u>$8,000</u>

The difference in the interest earned is; $8,467.04 - $5,489.17 = <u>$2,977.87</u>

4) In option 1 the present value is zero, therefore zero amount was invested at the beginning.

The interest to investment ration is 6,209.3:9,000 ≈ 0.7:1

In option 3, all the money was invested at the beginning.

The interest to investment ratio of option 3 is; 5,489.17:1,000 ≈ 5.5:1

Given that the interest to investment ratio, which is the return on investment is larger when more money is saved at the beginning as in option 3, <u>it is better to invest more money at the beginning</u>.

Marissa wrote her bike to the park and back up halfway to the park she stopped at the library she was one 310 miles from the lib
erastovalidia [21]

Answer:

5 1/5 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Library is located halfway between park and home ;

Distance between library and park = 1 3/10 miles

Hence, total distance between park and home :

1 3/10 + 1 3/10 = 2 6/10

The distance driven :

Home to park ; park back home

2 6/10 + 2 6/10 = 4 12/10

4 + 12/10 = 4 + 1 2/10

= 5 2/10

= 5 1/5 miles

The answer you want would be C.52

Reason: 32+5= 37 that is the 1st and 2nd term. 37+5=42 thatis the 3rd term. 42+5=47 that's the 4th term. And 47+5=52 that's the 5th term.

Hope it helps!!
