The two sentences meant to persuade are the following: "This is something no other computer can do at present. This is the best buy on the market." These two sentences definitely compel the customers to buy or at least want to buy the item. The other sentences merely provide information to the customers but aren't decisive or directly decisive in the buyer's decision making.

(6) Erik receives an eight-year annuity-immediate with monthly payments. The first payment is $300 and payments increase by $6 e
Tamiku [17]

Answer:

  • <u>$70,264.03</u>

Explanation:

You need to calculate the value of 8 × 12 = 96 different cash flows.

There is not a formula to calculate that, because the<em> $6 dollar increase</em> does not represent growing with a constant rate.

The monthly payments are:

Month            payment ($)

0 (today)             300

1                           306

2                          312

3                          318

n                          306 + 6 (n-1)

96 (last)               876

Then you must create a spreadsheet with these features:

  • Five columns
  • First column is the month, and starts with month 0 (today)
  • Second column is the initial balance, the first balance is 0
  • Third column is the interest: it is calculated as the monthly interest by the initial balance. The monthly interest is 6%/12 = 0.06/12 = 0.005
  • Fourth column is the amount deposited: for month zero it is $300, and every month you add $6.
  • Fith column is the final balance: it is the sum of the initial balance (second column) + interest (third column) + deposit (fourth colum)
  • 96 rows: 8 years × 12months/year = 96 months.
  • The initial balance of each row is equal to the final balance of the previous row.

Here a sample of the first three rows:

Month  Initial balance  Interest                    Deposit     Final balance

 0                  0                   0                          300          300

 1                 300             300×0.005 = 1.5    306          607.5

 2                607.5          607.5×0.005           312          922.54

When you do it up to the row 96, the final balance is <em>the balance in the acccount at the end of the eight years</em>.

The last row of your spreadsheet will show:

96           69,042.81      345.21                    876         70,264.03

Thus, <em>the balance at the end of eight years will be $70,264.03</em>

A firm creates value by?
djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

Paying more cash to its creditors and stockholders than the amount it received from them (1)

Explanation:

Stockholders are the primary owners of the company who have invested their money in the company's shares i.e equity holders and expect a reasonable returns higher than their investment.

Creditors are money lenders like banks i.e debt holders who have given loan or bank overdraft to the company and expecting the company to pay back at an agreed date with interest.

A firm creates value by being able to invest money sourced from various investors into a viable project that guaranteed greater returns than the weighted average cost of capital.
