Answer:
A) One year ago, Saul's investment was worth less than Trek's investment. B)
Explanation:
Computation of Saul's Investment Rate of Interest
A = P(1 + r)^t
Where: A = Final amount
P = Principal amount
r = Interest rate
t = Time period in years.
A = $800
P = $500
r = Unknown
t = 4 years
800 = 500(1 + r)^4
Divide both sides by 500
800/500 = (500(1 + r)^4 )/500
1.6 = (1 + r)^4
Take the fourth root of both sides
=
1.1246826504 = (1 + r)
1.1246826504 = 1 + r
Subtract 1 from both sides
1.1246826504 - 1 = 1 -1+ r
0.1246826504 = r
Convert 0.1246826504 to percentage and to 2 decimal places
r = 12.47%
That is, Saul investment is at 12.47% interest rate
Computation of Trek's Investment Rate of Interest
A = $800
P = $600
r = Unknown
t = 4 years
800 = 600(1 + r)^4
Divide both sides by 600
800/600 = (600(1 + r)^4 )/600
1.333333333 = (1 + r)^4
Take the cube root of both sides
=
1.100642416 = (1 + r)
1.100642416 = 1 + r
Subtract 1 from both sides
1.100642416 - 1 = 1 -1+ r
0.100642416 = r
Convert 0.100642416 to percentage and to 2 decimal place
r = 10..06%
That is, Trek investment is at 10..06% interest rate
It can be observed that Saul earns a higher rate of return than Trek. The fact that both investment have equal returns today, it means Saul's investment was worth less than Trek's investment one year ago.
Answer and Explanation:
According to the scenario,the computation of the given data are as follow:-
The budget is an estimation of expenses and revenue over a specific future time and it is re-evaluated and compiled on a period of time. The budget can prepare for a business, a government and a group of people, etc. It is an analysis of the income and expenditure that is useful for financial planning.
