Question

how do you find the k value for S= 500,000/1+0.6e^kt

Answer 1

You need to know what S is otherwise you can't solve for k. Additionally, you'd need to know what t is as well.

You can solve one equation in one variable.
One equation in THREE variables is not solvable. :(

Answer 2

S(1+.6e^kt)=500000

Answer 3

I think that thing goes to zero as t approaches infinity

Answer 4

hey i feel u r making a mistake

Answer 5

do u feel it is correct in financial sense???????

Answer 6

when you have multiple variables, it's all about perspective. You can fix different variables and manipulate others to see what it would be like

Answer 7

indy it was not for u u must have calculated the right value my question is for dria

Answer 8

@ Dria do u feel it is correct question

Answer 9

Here are the steps:

Go to http://www.wolframalpha.com and type

solve 500,000/(1+0.6e^kt) = S for k

Click "show steps".

Answer 10

\[YTM = \frac{{\frac{FV-P}{n}} + A}{\frac{FV+P}{2}}\]

Answer 11

ln (e^kt) = kt

Answer 12

write the full question then only i can help u out!!

Answer 13

@ indy
here we are talking about Time Value of Money
And in this case
\[\frac{1}{(1+k)^t} = Exp^{-kt}\]

\[Exp^{kt} = (1+K)^t\]

Answer 14

hey dria u dre

Answer 15

what's your point?

Answer 16

u can see Dria has asked 500000/(1 +0.6e^kt)
which is wrong in financial terms
so i m trying to tell her that exponential sign will not be there

Answer 17

okay, but your formula is not necessary. You can solve this problem outright with the necessary parameters.

Answer 18

yeah u r ryt but after assuming a number of things right but here u have to calculate the yield rate of a bond in that case how u will??????

Answer 19

im a little confused

Answer 20

u just tell me the whole problem then will help u@ DRIA

Answer 21

Dria, this problem is missing information

Answer 22

yes Indy now u got my point

Answer 23

the question said in the year of 1994 t=0 and in 1996 S=300,000 which would make t=2 but it asked for the value of k how do i solve for k that is the only missing info

Answer 24

I am very familiar with the concepts. There are certain structural properties of the equation that she presented, of which, I was trying to describe.

Answer 25

yeah i know actually it is in finance

Answer 26

that's not the only place that equations like this show up.

Answer 27

one thing more from where did u got 0.6 in ur question?

Answer 28

\[\s=500,000\div1+0.6e^{kt}\]

Answer 29

no i dint meant it only comes in Finance........but this type of problems are their in finance

Answer 30

that was apart of the question in the worksheet

Answer 31

\[300000 = \frac{500000}{1+0.6e^{kt}}\]

Answer 32

you will still need t

Answer 33

i said for the year that s=300,000 t was equal to 2

Answer 34

so then, 300000+300000(.6)e^2k = 500000

Answer 35

can you use a calculator?

Answer 36

k comes out to be 5.2%

Answer 37

e^2k = 1.111111
now solve for k

Answer 38

what is the answer to this problem

Answer 39

DRIA?????????

Answer 40

im trying to solve it with my calculator.

Answer 41

ok

Answer 42

the answer is correct thank you

Answer 43

ok sorry i am trying to apply the answer to the equation thanks sheg for being patient with me

Answer 44

k i will again thanks

Answer 45

i dnt have fb lol

Answer 46

ok gud bye

Answer 47

bye bye
