Individual Retirement Accounts The multiplier function
compares the growth of an Individual Retirement Account (IRA) with the growth of the same deposit in a regular savings account. The function M depends on the three variables n, i, and t, where n represents the number of years an amount is left at interest, i represents the interest rate in both types of accounts, and t represents the income tax rate. Values of M > 1 indicate that the IRA grows faster than the savings account. Let M = f(n, i, t) and find the following.
39. What is the multiplier when money is invested for 40 years at 6% interest and the income tax rate is 28%? Which account grows faster?

- Equipment Insurance A piece of equipment is being insured against early failure. The time from purchase until failure of the equipment is exponentially distributed with mean 10 years. The insurance will pay an amount x if failure occurs during the first year, and it will pay 0.5x if failure occurs during the second or third year. If failure occurs after the three years, no payment will be made. At what level must x be set if the expected payment made under this insurance is to be 1000? Source: Society of Actuaries.

Each year, a car loses 10% of its value. This means that each year the value of a car is 90% of the previous year’s value. If a new car was purchased for $20,000, the value at the end of the first year would be $20000(0.90) and the value of the car after the end of the second year would be $20000(0.90)2. Complete the table shown below. What will be the value of the car at the end of the eighth year? Simplify the expression, to show the value in dollars.arrow_forward
