The rate of earnings is 6% and the cash to be received in four years is $20,000. The present value amount, using the following partial table of present value of $1 at compound interest, is

$15,842

Step-by-step explanation:

We use the Present value formula

Present Value = Future value/(1 + r)ⁿ

r = 6% = 0.06

n = 4 years

Future value = $20,000

Present value = 20,000/(1 + 0.06)⁴

= $15841.873265

≈ $15,842

the answer   is 200

step-by-step explanation:

this is a problem about poisson probabilities.   i don't know if you've

already studied poisson distributions, or if you have a place to look

to read more about the subject.  

here's how you can see a poisson distribution coming.   when there are

a lot of events that may happen at any time (or any place), and when

you're counting how many of them happen at a particular time (or a

particular place), and each event is independent of the others, then

the result is a poisson distribution.   this is roughly true for the

chocolate chips; one chip being in a cookie has only a small effect on

the probability that another chip will be in the cookie.

once you know you have a poisson distribution, you know a lot.   there

is only one parameter to a poisson distribution, so if you know the

mean, you know everything.   the form of the distribution is

  probability of n chips = {[e^(-x)]*(x^n)} / (n! )
