Brenda young desires to have $15,000 eight years from now for her daughter's college fund. if she will earn 6 percent (compounded annually) on her money, what amount should she deposit now? use the present value of a single amount calculation.

Present value PV= FV(1/(1+r)^n)

PV = Present Value

FV = Future Value

r= rate

n= number of years

Just plug in the numbers and calculate.

The answer is: $9,411.19 (rounded to 2 decimal places)

Explanation:

Brenda needs to discount the present value of future anticipated cash flows to determine the value that she should deposit in the current period.

The time value of money principle dictates that the value of money today is worth more than its future equivalent in terms of the purchasing power. It is for this reason that interest is charged in future after lending or borrowing money in the current period. In order to compute the present value of the money, the compound interest formula needed is as follows:

FV = PV (1 + r)^nt where FV is the future value and PV is the present value, n is the number of times interest is applied per period, r is the interest rate and t is the number of time periods. In order to calculate present value, it has to be the subject of the formula:

PV = FV/ (1 + r)^nt

     = $15, 000/(1 + 0.06)^(1*8)

     = $15, 000/1.5938481

     = $9, 411.18557

steering wheels are always situated on the left side of the car.

always drive on the right side of the road.

white lines separate lanes of traffic traveling the same direction.

hashed or broken lines means you may change lanes when it is safe.

solid white lines mean stay in your lane.

yellow lines separate traffic moving in opposing directions.

hashed or broken yellow lines mean you can carefully pass, paying attention to oncoming traffic.

never cross a solid yellow line (or double yellow line).

when turning left at an intersection, pass in front of any cars that are turning left from the opposing direction (do not try to pass behind them).

use the left lane to pass other cars traveling your direction.

do not pass in the right lane unless absolutely necessary.

if you are driving in the far left hand lane and someone would like to pass you, move over to the right lane when it is safe to do so and allow them to pass.

you must always yield to pedestrians.

come to a complete stop whenever you see pedestrians trying to cross the street.

never pass a school bus if it has flashing red lights. wait until the lights have stopped.

be aware of bicyclists. often they share the road with cars and are supposed to also follow general traffic laws.

be particularly careful about driving in cities with bike lanes -- always check before turning that a bike is not coming.

it is mandatory to pull over or stop at an intersection to allow an emergency vehicle to pass you if you see one traveling with lights flashing and/or a siren running.

do not overuse your car horn. horns are used almost exclusively for emergency situations or for when you feel unsafe.

explanation:

answer: 11/12

step-by-step explanation: 4 1/4 and 3 1/3 is equivalent to 4 3/12 and 3 4/12. 4 3/12 - 3 4/12 =11/12
