Present Value
Suppose you want to deposit a certain amount of money into a savings account, and then leave it alone to draw interest for the next 10 years. At the end of 10 years, you would like to have $10,000 in the account. How much do you need to deposit today to make that happen? You can use the following formula, which is known as the present value formula, to find out:
The terms in the formula are as follows:
- P is the present value, or the amount that you need to deposit today.
- F is the future value that you want in the account. (In this case, F is $10,000.)
- r is the annual interest rate.
- n is the number of years that you plan to let the money sit in the account.
Write a method named presentValue that performs this calculation. The method should accept the future value, annual interest rate, and number of years as arguments. It should return the present value, which is the amount that you need to deposit today. Demonstrate the method in a

- Credit Card Number Check. The last digit of a credit card number is the check digit, which protects against transcription errors such as an error in a single digit or switching two digits. The following method is used to verify actual credit card numbers but, for simplicity, we will describe it for numbers with 8 digits instead of 16:• Starting from the rightmost digit, form the sum of every other digit. For example, if thecredit card number is 4358 9795, then you form the sum 5 + 7 + 8 + 3 = 23.• Double each of the digits that were not included in the preceding step. Add all digits ofthe resulting numbers. For example, with the number given above, doubling the digits,starting with the next-to-last one, yields 18 18 10 8. Adding all digits in these valuesyields 1 + 8 + 1 + 8 + 1 + 0 + 8 = 27.• Add the sums of the two preceding steps. If the last digit of the result is 0, the number isvalid. In our case, 23 + 27 = 50, so the number is valid.Write a program that implements this…arrow_forward(Geometry: great circle distance) The great circle distance is the distance between two points on the surface of a sphere. Let (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) be the geographi- cal latitude and longitude of two points. The great circle distance between the two points can be computed using the following formula: d = radius * arccos(sin(x1) * sin(x2) + cos(x1) * cos(x2) * cos(y1 - y2)) Write a program that prompts the user to enter the latitude and longitude of two points on the earth in degrees and displays its great circle distance. The average earth radius is 6,378.1 km. The latitude and longitude degrees in the formula are for north and west. Use negative to indicate south and east degrees.arrow_forwardMax Number Budi, Anto and Hani are playing a game called Max Number.

If the number of seconds entered by the user is greater than or equal to 60, the program should display the number of minutes and leftover seconds in that many seconds.-There are 3,600 seconds in an hour. If the number of seconds entered by the user is greater than or equal to 3,600, the program should display the number of hours, minutes, and leftover seconds in that many seconds.-There are 86,400 seconds in a day. If the number of seconds entered by the user is greater than or equal to 86,400, the program should display the number of days, hours, minutes, and leftover seconds in that many seconds.arrow_forward## MP (Machine Problem) Details The bulls and cows game is a code-breaking game designed for two or more players. Each player chooses a secret code of 4 digits from 0 – 9. The digits must be all different. The goal of the game is for each player to guess the other player's secret code. The players in turn present their guesses to the opponents. The opponents respond by telling the players: 1. The number of bulls, i.e. the number of matching digits in their right positions, and 2. The number of cows, i.e. the number of matching digits but in different positions. ### Requirements The main goal of this assignment is to develop the bulls and cows game that allows a single player to play interactively against the computer. The game stores two secret codes, one from the player and one from the computer. The player and the computer will try to guess each other’s secret code. Both the player and the computer only have seven attempts for guessing the secret code. If the player enters invalid…arrow_forwardBaby btc program - python Budget: $75,000 Make a string based bitcoin menu which shows the price of a bitcoin (pseudo random price), able to buy bitcoin with $75,000 budget (say "buy 0.5" meaning buy half of a bitcoin or "buy 3000" meaning buy $3000 worth of bitcoin), able to sell their bitcoin currently owned (using same format), can print their balance (show their current USD, the number of bitcoins they have in their wallet, and USD value of the bitcoins they have), and able to print their buy/sell transaction history.arrow_forward
- (Financial application: calculate future investment value) Write a program**(PYTHON)** that reads in an investment amount, the annual interest rate, and the number of years, and displays the future investment value using the following formula: futureInvestmentValue = investmentAmount * (1 + monthlyInterestRate)^numberOfMonths For example, if you enter the amount 1000, an annual interest rate of 4.25%, and the number of years as 1, the future investment value is 1043.33. Here is a sample run: Enter investment amount: 1000 Enter annual interest rate: 4.25 Enter number of years: 1 Accumulated value is 1043.33arrow_forwardGuess The Number Game: write a program that will ask the user to guess a secret numberrandomly generated by your program between 1-10. Player have 3 trials to guess the number.After each trial, you have to inform the user, either he/she has guessed it correctly or not, andthe remaining trials to guess the number. In each trial your program should generate a newrandom number. If user guess at least twice correctly, then shows the message, “you won by 2-1” and vice versa for losing.When game is over, ask the user to play again: If the user types "yes", the game start again.else stop the game.arrow_forwardThe company « Super discounted used cars inc.» pays their employees according to this chart: 250$ per months plus 50$ per car sold.

In response to a prolonged recession, one companyhas cut its customers’ credit limits in half. Thus, if a particular customer had a credit limit of $2000,it’s now $1000. If a customer had a credit limit of $5000, it’s now $2500. Write a program thatanalyzes the credit status of three customers of this company. For each customer you’re given:a) The customer’s account number.b) The customer’s credit limit before the recession.c) The customer’s current balance (i.e., the amount the customer owes the company).Your program should calculate and print the new credit limit for each customer and shoulddetermine (and print) which customers have current balances that exceed their new credit limits.arrow_forward[PYTHON LANGUAGE] You are planning an outing with some friends and need to calculate the total price of the tickets. A regular ticket usually costs $3.99 and a stu- dent ticket costs only $2.99. If the total number of tickets being ordered (including both students and regular tickets) is at least 10, then a 10% discount is applied to the order. However, if it is a holiday, then the at-least-ten group discount is only 5% (not 10%). Write a program that takes three lines of input: the number of reg- ular tickets, the number of student tickets, and an integer indicating whether it is a holiday (1) or not (0). It prints a float giving the total cost. Be sure to define and use constants for REGULAR TICKET PRICE and STUDENT TICKET PRICE. Write your program in a file named tickets.py.arrow_forward
