A series of equal quarterly receipts of $5000 extends over a period of five years. What is the estimated present worth of this quarterly payment series at 8% interest compounded continuously? You have just inherited $200,000 and wisely decide to invest your money in a diversified portfolio with your investment firm. Your financial advisor tells you that you can earn an average of 8% interest per year on your investment. You tell your advisor that you want to retire as soon as your account balance reaches $1,000,000. If you do not add or take money out of your account and interest does not fluctuate, how long, rounded to the nearest year, will it take before you have a $1,000,000 balance?

You increase the amount you save by 2% per year. With continuous investment and compounding, how much will have accumulated in the account by the time your child enters college 18 years later?

00:01 To calculate the answers we will use the information provided first which is given to us the federal income tax code is given to 7 ,000, 272 .50 child tax credit is $2 ,000.
00:25 So basically actual amount to pay in tax actual amount to pay in tax.
00:35 It will be 7 ,272 .50 minus $2 ,000.
00:42 It will become 5 ,272 .50 the next thing we need to calculate is average.
00:53 Tax rate relative to taxable income.
01:01 So how we can calculate it will be 5 ,272 .50 divided by 55 ,000 multiply by 100.
01:13 Then when we solve this out, we got 9 .6 % the next thing we need to calculate is average tax rate...
