David has purchased an investment that he expects to produce an annual cash flow of $3,000 for five years. He requires an 8% rate of return compounded annually. What is the maximum amount that David can pay and still earn the required rate of return?

Maximum amount to be paid    = $ 11,978.13

Explanation:

This is an example of an annuity . An annuity is a series of periodic equal cash inflows or cash  outflows occurring for certain number of years.

The maximum amount to be paid would be the present value (PV) of the cash flows discounted at the required rate of return of 8%

This would be be done using the formulae below:

PV = A × 1 - (1+r )^(-n)/r

A- 3000 r - 8%, n - 5

PV = 3000× 1 -(1.08^(-5))/0.08

   = 3000 × 3.9927

   = $ 11,978.13

Maximum amount to be paid    = $ 11,978.13

balanced lifestyle would be the type of lifestyle that fulfill all aspects of our life, including financial security, personal achievements, emotional balance, and intimate relationships with other people.

for me personally, the job that i would choose to achieve a balanced lifestyle is opening an online store.

online store can be managed from the comfort of our phone. if we are the owner of the store, we can determine our own working hours. we can arrange our working hours so we have time to do things such as taking care of children, cultivating romantic relationship, or do our hobby.

be mindful of your own reaction,use positive self-talk,   and debrief.
