Answer:

because both result in the equation 10x=1000 which simplifies to x=100.

With cross multiplication you can find that they are the same. In both equations, x would be 100.

What is the present value of a $50,000 decreasing perpetuity beginning in one year if the discount rate is 7% and the payments d

Trava [24]

Answer:

Present Value = $1666666.67

Step-by-step explanation:

Present Value of a Growing Perpuity is calculated using the following formula

PV =D/(r - g)

Where D = Dividend

r = Discount Rate

g = Growth rate

D = $50,000

r = 7%

r = 7/100

r = 0.07

g = 4%

g = 4/100

g = 0.04

PV = D/(r-g)

Becomes

PV = $50,000/(0.07-0.04)

PV = $50,000/0.03

PV = $1,666,666.67

So the Present Value of the perpuity is $1,666,666.67

Use the distributive property to solve the equation 4x/5-x=x/10-9/2

Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

$\Huge\boxed {x = 15}$

Step-by-step explanation:

⟾Collect like terms

8x - 10x = x - 45

⟾Move the variable to the left

- 2x = x - 45

⟾Collect like terms again

- 2x - x = - 45

⟾Divide both sides by -3

- 3x = - 45

⟾ x = 45 ÷ 3

x = 15.

insens350 [35]

Answer: a= 0.0231

Step-by-step explanation:

n=8

p=0.75

q=1 - 0.75 = 0.25

(p=x)

p(5) = 8C5 (0.25)^5 (0.75)^8-5

p(5)= 0.0231

Or 2.31%
