Two bonds are available on the market as follows: Bond 1: Face value $250, 5 years to maturity at a (simple) interest rate of 5%

. Bond 2: Face value $350, 3 years to maturity at a (simple) interest rate of r. Given that both bonds yield the same interest to maturity, calculate r.

The value of r is 5.95%

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula of the simple interest is I = P r t, where

  • P is the initial amount of money
  • r is the interest rate in decimal
  • t is the time

Bond 1:

∵ The face value is $250

∴ P = 250

∵ The value is in the bond for 5 years

∴ t = 5

∵ The simple interest rate is 5%

∴ r = 5% = 5 ÷ 100 = 0.05

∵ I = P r t

- Substitute the values of P, r and t in the rule

∴ I = (250)(0.05)(5) = 62.5

∴ The interest of Bond 1 is $62.5

Bond 2:

∵ The face value is $350

∴ P = 350

∵ The value is in the bond for 3 years

∴ t = 3

∵ The simple interest rate is r

∵ I = P r t

- Substitute the values of P and t in the rule

∴ I = (350)(r)(3) = 1050 r

∴ The interest of Bond 2 is 1050 r

∵ The both bonds yield the same interest to maturity

- Equate the interests of bonds 1 and 2

∵ 1050 r = 62.5

- Divide both sides by 1050

∴ r = 0.0595

- Multiply it by 100% to change it to percentage

∵ r = 0.0595 × 100% = 5.95%

∴ r = 5.95%

The value of r is 5.95%

Which graph can be used to find the solution(s) to 4x=-4x?
Elden [556K]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

The graph is shown in the Figure below

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

In this exercise, we have an equation. On the left side we have a straight line with slope m=4 and there is no any y-intercept. On the right side, on the other had, we also have a straight line, but the slope here is  m=-4. Therefore, by plotting these two straight lines, we have that the solution is the origin, that is, the point (0, 0).

What proportion of these candy bars have more than 300 calories per serving? (Round your answer to two decimal places.)
Hatshy [7]

Answer:  0.12

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 65 candy bars. Out of that;

2 candy bars have 300 to 350 calories

1 candy bar has 350 to 400 calories

4 candy bars have 400 to 450 calories

1 candy bar has 450 to 500 calories

The total proportion out of 65 candy bars that have over 300 calories is;

= ( 2 + 1 + 4 + 1) / 65

= 8/65

= 0.12
