Explanation of Solution

Option (a):

Interest rate (i) is 18% and time period (n) is 33.

The future value factor to the present value (FP) through linear interpolate can be calculated as follows. The interest rate lies between (i1)17% and (i2) 19%.

FP=(1+i1)n((ii1)100(i2i1)100((1+i1)n(1+i2)n))=(1+0.17)33((0.180.17)100(0.190.17)100((1+0.17)33(1+0.19)33))=177.8826((0.01)100(0.02)100(177.8826311.2073))=177.8826(12(177.8826311.2073))=177.8826(66.6624)=244.545

The future value factor to the present value is 244.545.

Option (b):

The future value factor to the present value (FP) through formula can be calculated as follows:

FP=(1+i)n=(1+0.18)33=235.5625

The future value factor to the present value is 235.5625.

Explanation of Solution

Option (a):

Interest rate (i) is 12% and time period (n) is 54.

The annual growth rate value (AG) through linear interpolate can be calculated as follows. The interest rate lies between (i1) 11% and (i2) 13%.

AG=(1i1n(1+i1)n1)((ii1)100(i2i1)100((1i1n(1+i1)n1)(1i2n(1+i2)n1)))=(10.1154(1+0.11)541)((0.120.11)100(0.130.11)100((10.1154(1+0.11)541)(10.1354(1+0.13)541)))=(9.090954280.18241)((0.01)100(0.02)100((9.090954280.18241)(7.692354734.9131)))=(9.09090.1934)(12((9.09090.1934)(7.69230.0736)))=8.8975(0.5(8.89757.6187))=8.89750.6394=8.3356

The annual growth factor value is 8.3356.

Option (b):

The annual growth factor value (AG) through formula can be calculated as follows:

PA=(1in(1+i)n1)=(10.1254(1+0.12)541)=(8.333354454.75051)=(8.33330.119)=8.2143

The annual growth factor value is 8.2143.

Please show the solution of finding the i*value which is 8.7%
Annual U.S. factory sales of consumer electronics goods to dealers from 1990 through 2001 can be modeled as (e) = 0.038ae - 0.495 + 5.698: + 43.6 where outout is measured in bilion dollars and t is the number of years since 1990.t (a) Numerically estimate the derivative of s when -10. (Round your answer to one decimal place) bilian dollars per year (b) Interpret the answer to part (a). At the beginning of year annual U.S. factory sales of consumer electronics goods to dealers were increasing by approximately s billion per year.
For the factor (F∕P,10%,43), find the percent difference between the interpolated and formula-calculated values, assuming the formula-calculated value is the correct one.
