Assume that you have graduated and have gotten a good job. You are conscientious and want to begin a savings account. You are paid monthly and have authorized your bank to automatically withdraw $300 from each paycheck. The bank made the first withdrawal on August 1, 2007 and you instruct them to make the last withdrawal on July 1, 2037. The withdrawals are invested at a nominal interest rate of 10% and compounded monthly. What will be the balance of the account on July 1, 2037

Answer:

The balance of the account on July 1, 2037 will be $677,846.38.

Explanation:

Since the withdrawals are made the beginning of each month, the relevant formula to use is the formula for calculating the Future Value (FV) of an Annuity Due is employed as follows:

FV = M * (((1 + r)^n - 1) / r) * (1 + r) ................................. (1)

Where,

FV = Future value or the balance of the account on July 1, 2037 =?

M = Monthly withdrawal = $300

r = Monthly interest rate = nominal interest rate / 12 = 10% / 12 = 0.10 / 12 = 0.00833333333333333

n = Number of months from August 1, 2007 to July 1, 2037 = 359

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

FV = $300 * (((1 + 0.00833333333333333)^359 - 1) / 0.00833333333333333) * (1 + 0.00833333333333333)

FV = $300 * 2,240.81447087212 * 1.00833333333333333

FV = $677,846.38

Therefore, the balance of the account on July 1, 2037 will be $677,846.38.

Over the past decade, many American candy companies have opened factories in Mexico and Canada to produce candy. The companies, including Hershey Company, Brach's Confections, and Ferrara Pan, then ship candy back to the United States for sale. Although lower wages in Mexico might explain part of this move, wages in Canada are comparable to U.S. wages. Price floors (price supports) for the sugar industry encouraged American candy companies to move production out of the United States. Describe how the enactment of a sugar price floor impacted the market for candy in the United States, resulting in the movement of manufacturing.

Exercise 1-16 Cost Classifications for Decision Making [LO1-5] Warner Corporation purchased a machine 7 years ago for $383,000 when it launched product P50. Unfortunately, this machine has broken down and cannot be repaired. The machine could be replaced by a new model 300 machine costing $373,650 or by a new model 200 machine costing $342,000.
