Sandy made several investments. She bought 850 shares of a company's stock for $8.40/share, she bought a bond with a face value

of $3500 and a coupon rate of 7%, and she invested $4300 into a fund that is expected to grow by 3.5% per year.
a. Sandy pays a broker a commission of $14 to buy and sell stock. After one year, Sandy sold all her shares, when they were worth $9.15/share. What was her net gain or loss? Be sure to state whether it is a gain or loss. Show your work

b. The bond Sandy purchased will mature in 10 years. How much interest will she receive semiannually?

c. How long will it take the fund she invested in to be worth $7,000?

d. Sandy's gross annual income is $50,850. She is paid biweekly and has a 4.5% deducts from her paycheck for her 403(b). Her employer matches her deduction, up to 4%. How much is deposited into Sandy's 403(b) each payday?

Answer:

a.$609.5

b.$122.5

c.14.16 years

d.$ 180.09  

Step-by-step explanation:

The cost of the shares=(850*$8.40)+$14=$7154

proceeds from sale of shares=(850*$9.15)-$14=$7763.5

Gain on sale of shares=$7763.5 -$7154=$609.5

The interest receivable semiannually=$3500*7%*6/12=$122.5

The length of time it would take for the fund to worth $7,000 can be derived from future value formula

FV=PV*(1+r)^n

FV is $7000

PV is $4,300

r is the growth rate per year of 3.5%

n is the not known

7000=4300*(1+0.035)^n

7000/4300=1.035^n

1.627906977 =1.035^n

take log of both sides

ln 1.627906977 =n ln1.035

n=ln 1.627906977 / ln 1.035=14.16 years

biweekly gross income=($50,850/12*2)=$2118.75

(4%+4.5%)*2118.75 =$ 180.09

Students who party before an exam are twice as likely to fail as those who don't party (and presumably study). If 20% of the stu
True [87]

Answer:

The fraction of the students who failed to went partying = \frac{1}{10}

Step-by-step explanation:

Let total number of students = 100

No. of students partied are twice the no. of students who not partied.

⇒ No. of students partied = 2 × the no. of students who are not partied

No. of students partied before the exam = 20 % of total students

⇒ No. of students partied before the exam = \frac{20}{100} × 100

⇒ No. of students partied before the exam =  20

No. of students who not partied before the exam = \frac{20}{2} = 10

Thus the fraction of the students who failed to went partying = \frac{10}{100} = \frac{1}{10}

Solve x2 + 6x = 7 by completing the square. Which is the solution set of the equation?
Ber [7]
So first you have to find the perfect square that matches up with x^2 + 6x

so half of 6, and square it. your perfect square is 9

x^2 + 6x + 9 = 7 + 9

then, condense the left side of the equation into a squared binomial:

(x + 3)^2 = 16

take the square root of both sides:

x + 3 = ± √16

therefore:

x + 3 = ± 4

x = - 3 ± 4

so your solution set is:

x = 1, -7

People are arriving at a party one at a time. While waiting for more people to arrive they entertain themselves by comparing the
Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

=(k−1)*P(X>k−1) or (k−1)365k(365k−1)(k−1)!

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, we need to find PMF

Let X = k represent the case in which there is no birthday match within (k-1) people

However, there is a birthday match when kth person arrives

Hence, there is 365^k possibilities in birthday arrangements

Supposing (k-1) dates are placed on specific days in a year

Pick one of k-1 of them & make it the date of the kth person that arrives, then:

The CDF is P(X≤k)=(1−(365k)k)/!365k, so the can obtain the PMF by  

P(X=k) =P (X≤k) − P(X≤k−1)=(1−(365k)k!/365^k)−(1−(365k−1)(k−1)!/365^(k−1))=

(k−1)/365^k * (365k−1) * (k−1)!

=(k−1)*(1−P(X≤k−1))

=(k−1)*P(X>k−1)
