Angela will need $2000 in three years so that she can take a cruise vacation with some of her friends. She just received a large income tax refund of $2500 and would like to invest part of that money in a CD that will result in $2000 after three years. If the interest rate on the CD is 2% compounded quarterly, how much should Angela invest in the CD?

$1,883.81

Explanation:

To calculate this, we use the formula for calculating the present value (FV) as follows:

PV = FV ÷ (1 + r)^n ……………………………………………. (1)

PV = Present value or the amount to invest in the CD = ?

FV = future value or the amount needed in three years = $2,000

r = interest rate = 2% annually = 2%/4 quarterly = 0.5% or 0.005 quarterly

n = number of period = 3 years = (3 × 4) quarters = 12 quarters

Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:

PV = 2,000 ÷ (1 + 0.005)^12 = 2,000 ÷  1.0616778118645 = $1,883.81

Therefore, Angela should invest $1,883.81 in the CD.

answer; strategic planning;

the answer is "b.the increased supply will create a surplus. "

the essential thought behind price controls is straightforward - utilize the power of law to modify the equilibrium of a market. for instance, the legislature may choose that the steel business needs to survive, and in this way pass a law to set a value floor on steel. this implies all steel sold must offer at or over the floor value, which must be set over the equilibrium cost for it to have any impact. the switch could likewise happen - the administration can choose that steel is excessively costly and set a value roof underneath its equilibrium value, with the goal that all steel must be sold at or beneath that ceiling.
