Answer from: jaidencoolman2866

13.88 years

Explanation:

Using the formula for present value for an annuity with constant payment of $ 400000

PV = P ( 1 - ( 1+r)^-n) / r

where P = $ 400000, r = 6%/4 = 1.5 % = 0.015 and PV = $15 million

$15 million = $400000(1 - ( 1 + 0.015) ^-n / 0.015

$ 15 000000 × 0.015 / $ 400000 =(1 - ( 1 + 0.015) ^-n)

( 1 + 0.015) ^-n = 1 - 0.5625

1.015^-n = 0.4375

take log of both side

-n log 1.015 = log 0.4375

-n = log 0.4375 / log 1.015 = -55.52

n = 55.52

in years = 55.52 / 4 =13.88 years

Answer from: joelpimentel

13.88 years

Explanation:

Since the quarterly payments starting from next quarter, the relevant formula to use is the present value (PV) of an ordinary annuity formula stated as follows:

PV = P × [{1 - [1 ÷ (1+r)]^n} ÷ r] …………………………………. (1)

Where;

PV = Present value or the office building cost today = $15,000,000

P = quarterly payment = $400,000

r = APR = 6%, 0.06 annually = 0.06/4 quarterly = 0.015

n = number of quarters = ?

Substitute the values into equation (1) to have:

15,000,000 = 400,000 × {1 - [1 ÷ (1 + 0.015)]^n} ÷ 0.015

15,000,000 × 0.015 = 400,000 × {1 - [1 ÷ (1.015)]^n}

225,000 ÷ 400,000 = 1 - [1 ÷ 1.015]^n

0.5625 = 1 - (0.985221674876847)^n

0.5625 - 1 = - (0.985221674876847)^n

- 0.4375 = - (0.985221674876847)^n

Both sides by minus one, we have:

(0.985221674876847)^n = 0.4375

Loglinearising both sides, we have:

n × ln(0.985221674876847) = ln(0.4375)

n = ln(0.4375) ÷ ln(0.985221674876847)

n = (- 0.826678573184468) ÷ (- 0.0148886124937505)

n = 55.52 quarters

We can now convert it to years by as follows:

n = 55.52 quarters ÷ 4 = 13.88 years

Which of the following is likely not a benefit of requiring a grand jury to listen to and examine all of the evidence against a person suspected of committing a serious crime and then independently deciding whether or not to hand down an indictment? 1.the grand jury system provides the accused another safeguard against being sent to trial and facing conviction based on flawed evidence. 2.the members of the grand jury are drawn from the community and are empowered to render independent decisions about whether or not the government has collected enough evidence to bring an individual to trial. 3.the grand jury’s decision can provide prosecutors insight into what is necessary to build a sufficient case if a similar crime is presented later. 4.the grand jury is impaneled to rubber-stamp prosecutors’ cases, which makes it possible for more cases to reach trial.
