Level curves of a savings plan Suppose you make monthly deposits of P dollars into an account that earns interest at a monthly rate of p%. The balance in the account after t years is
a. With a target balance of $20,000, find the set of all points (P, r) that satisfy B = 20,000. This curve gives all deposits P and monthly interest rates r that result in a balance of $20,000 after 20 years.
b. Repeat part (a) with B = $5000, $10,000, $15,000, and $25,000, and draw the resulting level curves of the balance function.

- Crack the crag def crag_score(dice): Crag (see the Wikipedia page for the scoring table needed in this problem) is a dice game similar to the more popular games of Yahtzee and Poker dice in style and spirit, but with much simpler combinatorics of roll value calculation due to this game using only three dice. Players repeatedly roll three dice and assign the resulting patterns to scoring categories so that once some roll has been assigned to a category, that category is considered to have been spent and cannot be used again for any future roll. These tactical choices between safety and risk-taking give this game a little bit more tactical flair on top of merely relying on the favours of Lady Luck for rolling the bones. Given the list of pips of the three dice of the first roll, this function should compute and return the highest possible score available when all categories of the scoring table are still available for you to choose from, so that all that matters is maximizing this…arrow_forwardWhen you borrow money to buy a house, a car, or for some other purpose, you repay the loan by making periodic payments over a certain period of time. Of course, the lending company will charge interest on the loan. Every periodic payment consists of the interest on the loan and the payment toward the principal amount. To be specific, suppose that you borrow $1,000 at an interest rate of 7.2% per year and the payments are monthly. Suppose that your monthly payment is $25. Now, the interest is 7.2% per year and the payments are monthly, so the interest rate per month is 7.2/12 = 0.6%. The first months interest on $1,000 is 1000 0.006 = 6. Because the payment is $25 and the interest for the first month is $6, the payment toward the principal amount is 25 6 = 19. This means after making the first payment, the loan amount is 1,000 19 = 981. For the second payment, the interest is calculated on $981. So the interest for the second month is 981 0.006 = 5.886, that is, approximately $5.89. This implies that the payment toward the principal is 25 5.89 = 19.11 and the remaining balance after the second payment is 981 19.11 = 961.89. This process is repeated until the loan is paid. Write a program that accepts as input the loan amount, the interest rate per year, and the monthly payment. (Enter the interest rate as a percentage. For example, if the interest rate is 7.2% per year, then enter 7.2.) The program then outputs the number of months it would take to repay the loan. (Note that if the monthly payment is less than the first months interest, then after each payment, the loan amount will increase. In this case, the program must warn the borrower that the monthly payment is too low, and with this monthly payment, the loan amount could not be repaid.)arrow_forwardIf a child has red hair, they inherited a certain From their parentsarrow_forward

The team has a fixed membership of 9 members. Within these 9 members, there is a management committee of 4 members. For each function where they are hired to perform, the amount collected is different and is distributed as follows;• 50% of the fees goes to the consolidated account where each member owns equal shares.• The remaining 50% is shared among the 9 members such that each of the 4 management committee members gets 6.25% and each of the other members not on management committee gets 5%.For example, suppose Katanga Stars is paid UGX 1,000,000/= for a performance at a certain wedding ceremony, then, UGX 500,000/= goes to the consolidated account.

- ****GRADIENT DECENT-MACHINE LEARNING*** In measurements, straight relapse is a direct way to deal with demonstrate the connection between a reliant variable and at least one free factor. Let X be the autonomous variable and Y be the reliant variable. We will characterize a straight connection between these two factors as follows: Y = mX + c This is the condition for a line that you concentrated on in secondary school. m is the incline of the line and c is the y block. Today we will utilize this condition to prepare our model with a given dataset and anticipate the worth of Y for some random worth of X. Our test today is to decide the worth of m and c, with the end goal that the line relating to those values is the best fitting line or gives the base blunder.

A betting round occurs, followed by dealing 3 shared cards from the deck. As shared cards are dealt, more betting rounds occur, where each player can fold, check, or raise. At the end of a round, if more than one player is remaining, players' hands are compared, and the best hand wins the pot of all chips bet so far.

- *Data Structures and Algorithm (C Programming) In economics, arbitrage is the practice of taking advantage of a difference in prices in two or more markets; striking a combination of matching deals to capitalize on the difference, the profit being the difference between the market prices at which the unit is traded. Arbitrage can become a source of gain when applied to currency exchanges. Consider the fol- lowing currency exchange ratios as an example: 1 U.S. dollar buys 0.7292 euros, 1 euro buys 105.374 Japanese yen, 1 Japanese yen buys 0.3931 Russian rubles, 1 Russian ruble buys 0.0341 U.S. dollars. Then you could take 1 U.S. dollar and buy 0.7292 euros with it, with which you can buy 76.8387 yen (because 0.7292 * 105.374 = 76.8387). Then take the 76.8387 yen and buy 30.2053 rubles (because 76.8387 * 0.3931 = 30.2053), and finally take the 30.2053 rubles and buy 1.03 dollars (because 30.2053 * 0.0341 = 1.0300).

The time required for each customer to handle business can also be generated randomly, no more than 30 minutes. If the randomly generated time length is 0, it indicates that the customer leaves early and does not handle business. When the program is running, input the number of bank windows, and then output the basic information of each customer's business in the bank according to the randomly generated customer data (arrival time, time required for business), including: customer arrival time, customer waiting time, what time the customer handled business in which window, and how long the business lasted. From this, we can observe the average waiting time of…arrow_forwardSimulation of bank calling system [Problem Description] Using linear list to simulate the bank's queuing business model [Basic Requirements] Suppose that the working hours of the bank are from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m The time when customers arrive at the bank is generated randomly, and the customers are queued in the order of arrival.
