Advocates and the seniors themselves have complained that the 2020 COLA is not enough to meet their current needs especially given the rising cost of healthcare.

IgorC [24]

Answer:

The correct answer is B.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

One year ago, Deltona Motor Parts deposited $16,500 in an investment account to buy new equipment three years from today. Today, it is adding another $12,000 to this account. The company plans on making a final deposit of $20,000 to the account one year from today.

FV= PV*(1+i)^n

First deposit= 16,500*(1.045^4)= 19,676.56

Second deposit= 12,000*(1.045^3)= 13,694

Third deposit= 20,000*(1.045^2)= 21,840.5

Total= $55,211.06

Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

$69,300

Explanation:

Given the following :

House A :

Sales price = $70,000

Monthly rent = $500

GRM = 140

House B :

Sales price = $68,500

Monthly rent = $490

GRM = 139.8

House C :

Sales price = $70,500

Monthly rent = $485

GRM = 139.6

The gross rent multiplier GRM is obtained as the proportion of the sale price of a property to it's monthly rent.

GRM = (Sales price / monthly rent)

If a property is rented for 495 and house A is the

most comparable, then

Sales price will be closest to:

GRM of House A × monthly rent of property

140 × $495 = $69,300
