<span>What is the periodic interest rate of Melanie's investment?

How many compounding periods does Melanie's investment offer in a year? How about in 8 year?


Semiannually means that it is twice in a year, then:

- the number of compounding periods in a year is 2.

- the number of compounding periods in 8 years is 2 * 8 = 16


What expression can Melanie write to figure out how much her investment will be worth in 8 years?


Use the formula : F = P * ( 1+ r/n) ^ (n*t)


P is the initial investment = $12,000


n = the number of periods per year, which is 2

</span>
<span><span>r is the yearly rate = 4.8% = 0.048


t is the number of years, which is 8.


Then, the equation is F = $12,000 * ( 1 + 0.048/2) ^ (8*2) =

= $12,000 ( 1+ 0.024)^ 16 = $12,000 (1,024)^16


 
</span> How much will Melanie's investment be worth in 8 years?</span>


Just use the calculator: 12,000 (1,024)^16 = $17,538

his morning, you borrowed $150,000 to buy a house. The mortgage rate is 7.35 percent. The loan is to be repaid in equal monthly
masha68 [24]

Answer: 277.61 - option B

Explanation: you borrowed $150000

20-year mortgage at 7.35 percent. Start by dividing 0.0735 by 12 to find that the monthly rate equals 0.0061. Next, add 1 to 0.0036 to get 1.0061. Third, multiply 20 years by 12 payments per year to find that your loan consists of 240 monthly payments. Fourth, raise 1.0061 to the negative 240th power to get 0.2323. Fifth, subtract 0.2323 from 1 to get 0.7676. Sixth, divide 0.0061 by 0.7676 to get 0.007947. Finally, multiply 0.007947 by $150,000 to find your monthly payment will be $1192

Repeat for the second payment by using 11 month instead of 12

Then you will get: 277.61

Dream Threads Company sells hand-sewn shirts for $40 per shirt. It incurs monthly fixed costs of $7000. The contribution margin
mylen [45]

Answer:

350 units

Explanation:

The break even point shows the earnings that the company has to generate to be able to cover all the expenses. The formula to calculate the break even point is:

Break even point= Fixed costs / contribution margin

Break even point= $7,000/0.50

Break even point= $14,000

Now, to determine the break even point in units you have to divide $14,000 by the sales price per unit:

$14,000/$40= 350 units

According to this, the break even point in units is 350.
