Fran purchased an annuity that provides $5,400 quarterly payments for the next 10 years. the annuity was purchased at a cost of $135,000. how much of the first quarterly payment will fran include in her gross income?

$5400

Step-by-step explanation:

Gross income is any interest, wage etc(money received) given to someone which they account for before any deductions and tax. Fran will have to include all $5400 of her first quarterly payment into her gross income because there are no deductions yet and tax when you consider what is put in gross income. Fran would have earned this amount as a payment from the purchasing of the annuity as it serves as a payment back for purchasing an annuity which to Fran, is an investment.

c. y = 1/4 x + 5

step-by-step explanation:

first, put the equation of the line on the graph into slope-intercept form

(y = mx + b):   y = -4x + 8

second, a perpendicular line has to have "an opposite/reciprocal slope" to the original slope. so, find the "m" value in your original equation (it's -4, right? )

original slope: m = -4   perpendicular slope: change the sign to its opposite and find the reciprocal ("flip" the number)

new slope is now positive (b/c the original slope was negative 4), and it's 1/4 (not the original slope of 4 or 4/1)
