Step 1
For year 1: PV1 = 45 / (1 + 0.07)^1 = 42.06 For year 2: PV2 = 90 / (1 + 0.07)^2 = 79.43 For year 3: PV3 = 135 / (1 + 0.07)^3 = 112.08 For year 4: PV4 = 180 / (1 + 0.07)^4 = 137.68 For year 5: PV5 = 225 / (1 + 0.07)^5 = 157.63 Show more…

1a) You purchase a car for $ 20,000. The car depreciates in value exponentially losing 20% of its value annually. What is the value of the car after 7 years? 1b) If you invest $8, 500 into an account that makes 1.5% annual interest compounded monthly, how much money will be in the account after 15 year
