Chapter 9.3, Problem 18E
SINKING FUNDS The proprietor of Carson Hardware Store has decided to set up a sinking fund for the purpose of purchasing a computer server 2 years from now. It is expected that the server will cost $30,000. The fund grows at the rate of
where A denotes the size of the fund at any time t, r is the annual interest rate earned by the fund compounded continuously, and P is the amount (in dollars) paid into the fund by the proprietor per year (assume that this is done on a frequent basis in small deposits over the year so that it is essentially continuous). If the fund earns 5% interest per year compounded continuously, determine the size of the yearly investment the proprietor should pay into the fund.

- Future Value Business and finance texts refer to the value of an investment at a future time as its future value. If an investment of P dollars is compounded yearly at an interest rate of r as a decimal, then the value of the investment after t years is given by FutureValue=P1+rt. In this formula, 1+rt is known as the future value interest factor, so the formula above can be written as FutureValue=PFuturevalueinterestfactor Financial officers normally calculate this or look it up in a table a. What future value interest factor will make an investment double? b. Say you have an investment that is compounded yearly at a rate of 9%. Find the future value interest factor for a 7-year investment. c. Use the results from part b to calculate the 7-year future value if your initial investment is 5000.arrow_forwardLogistic Growth Animal populations are not capable of unrestricted growth because of limited habitat and food supplies. Under such conditions the population follows a logistic growth model: p(t)=d1+kea Where c, d, and k are positive constants. For a certain fish population in a small pond d=1200, k=11, c=0.2, and t is measured in years. The fish were introduced into the pond at time t=0 . How many fish were originally put in the pond? Find the population after 10, 20, and 30 years. Evaluate p(t) for large values of t. What value does the population approach as t? Does the graph shown confirm your calculations?arrow_forward
