hint: you need to find present value of 1000$ per week for 50 years

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do u know the formula?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{ Pw(1-(1+i)^{-n} }{ i }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

pw= per week vaue i=compound rate/weeks in year n=years times weeks in a year

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hope this clarifies

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no its pretty confused

OpenStudy (anonymous):

still*

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how many weeks are there in a year

OpenStudy (anonymous):

52

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so \[i=\frac{ 0.03 }{ 52 }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[n=50 \times 52\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now calculate these values and sub it into the formula

OpenStudy (anonymous):

see if u work out part A u ll see that u ll have more money than 60000$ so basically if u were to live more than 50 years than option is A better than option B

OpenStudy (anonymous):

when i plug in the values it gives me a really awkward value
