Chapter 2, Problem 8PP
You have just purchased a stereo system that cost $1,000 on the following credit plan: no down payment, an interest rate of 18% per year (and hence 1.5% per month), and monthly payments of $50. The monthly payment of $50 is used to pay the interest and whatever is left is used to pay part of the remaining debt. Hence, the first month you pay 1.5% of $1,000 in interest. That is $15 in interest. So, the remaining $35 is deducted from your debt, which leaves you with a debt of $965.00. The next month you pay interest of 1.5% of $965.00, which is $14.48. Hence, you can deduct $35.52 (which is $50 – $14.48) from the amount you owe. Write a

Installation of a Shopee Billboard
Max. score: 100
You are installing a billboard and want it to be at the maximum height. The billboard will have two steel supports, one on each side. The height of each steel bracket must be equal.
You have a number of rebar rods that can be welded together. For example, if the bars are of length 1, 2, and 3, they can be welded together to form a length of 6 brackets.
Return the maximum possible installation height of the billboard. Return 0 if the billboard cannot be installed.
"You have been asked to create a guessing game with four players. The players will be asked to guess which word will be selected next and earn points for each correct guess."
The game works as follows:
First: At the start of the game:
Each of the four players is asked to enter their name and the amount of money they wish to bet on the game (only positive values less than $100 are allowed). The total of all four bets is the price money for the game.
•The players will be asked to select which set of words they wish to use for the game. The options are:
Fruit
Colors
Animals
Each set of words must have at least seven options (You may choose your own words for each set). Once the players select a set of words the computer will display the full list of options.
For example:
You have selected the Fruit word set. The possible words are: Apple, Orange, Banana, Kiwi, Strawberry, Grape, Cherry
Second: Each game will consist of seven rounds. Each round goes as follows:
Each player is…
Interest on a credit card’s unpaid balance is calculated using the average daily balance.
Suppose that netBalance is the balance shown in the bill, payment is the payment made, d1 is the number of days in the billing cycle, and d2 is the number of days payment is made before billing cycle.
Then, the average daily balance is:
averageDailyBalance = (netBalance * d1 – payment * d2) / d1
If the interest rate per month is, say, 0.0152, then the interest on the unpaid balance is:
interest = averageDailyBalance * 0.0152
Instructions
Write a program that accepts as input netBalance, d1, payment, d2, and interest rate per month (interestRate).
The program outputs the interest.

Then, the average daily balance is: averageDailyBalance = (netBalance * d1 – payment * d2) / d1 If the interest rate per month is, say, 0.0152, then the interest on the unpaid balance is: interest = averageDailyBalance * 0.0152 Write a program that accepts as input netBalance, d1, payment, d2, and interest rate per month (interestRate).

Say you want to create an annuity for a term of 300 months and final value of 1,000,000 dollars. Using nlsolve, make a table of the interest rate you will need to get for each of the different contribution values P 500 + 50k, k = 0, ..., 10. - Hint: if you write a function for the value of annuity, or the difference between this value and one million dollars with several arguments (P, r, n), you can then create a new function of just the one variabler for each value of P in a loop. The table and pretty tables approach used in homework 2 will be helpful here.arrow_forwardA flight of stairs has 10 steps numbered 1 to 10 as shown in the figure below. i.

- The United States federal personal income tax is calculated based on filing status and taxable income. There are four filing statuses: single filers, married filing jointly, married filing separately, and head of household. The tax rates vary every year. Table 4.2 shows the rates for 2009. If you are, say, single with a taxable income of $10,000, the first $8,350 is taxed at 10% and the other $1,650 is taxed at 15%. So, your tax is $1,082.50.

Commission rates vary depending on how many units you sold (see chart below). Your income equals to the total sales plus the commission where the commission equals to total sales times the commission rate. That is, commission = total sales * commission rate and income = total sales + commission. Total Sales Commission rate % Less than 200 sold 8% Greater or equal to 200 sold 10% Greater than to 400 sold 12% 1. Provide the user the commission rate list above. 2.

- You have just started a sales job in adepartment store. Your pay consists of a base salary and a commission. The base salaryis $5,000. The scheme shown below is used to determine the commission rate. Note that this is a graduated rate. The rate for the first $5,000 is at 6%, the next$5000 is at 8%, and the rest is at 10%. If your sales amounts to $25,000, the commissionis 5,000 * 6% + 5,000 * 8% + 15,000 * 10% = 2,200. Your goal is toearn $30,000 a year.

An employee code of zero (0) terminates the program. • The salesperson’s commission is based on their sales (in Rands) in the past month- input the sales for each salesperson. • Calculate the total car sales (in Rands). • Calculate a salesperson’s commission (in Rands).

- Loan negotiation is usually not a straightforward task. A type of loan is the discount installment loan. This type of loan has the following characteristics. Supposing a loan has face value of GHC 1000, interest is 13% and the duration is 24 months. The interest is compounded by multiplying the face value by 0.13 to produce GHC 130. The figure (130) is then multiplied by the loan period of 2 years to give GHC 260 as the total interest owed. This amount is immediately deducted from the face value leaving the customer with only GHC 740. Repayment is then made in monthly equal installments based on the face value. This means that the monthly payment will be GHC 1000 divided by 24 which is approximately 41.67. This method of calculating the monthly repayment is not too bad if the consumer needs only GHC 760 but the calculation is a bit complicated if the consumer needs GHC 1000. a.

Each room can be either single bed or double bed type and may be AC or non-AC type. The rooms have different rates depending on whether they are of single or double, AC or Non-AC types. The room tariff however may vary during different parts of the year depending up on the occupancy rate. For this, the computer should be able to display the average occupancy rate for a given month, so that the manager can revise the room tariff for the next month either upwards or downwards by a certain percentage.

For each student, identified by an integer number between 1 and 60, four exam grades must be kept, and two final grade averages must be computed. The first grade average is simply the average of all four grades. The second grade average is computed by weighting the four grades as follows: The first grade gets a weight of 0.2, the second grade gets a weight of 0.3, the third grade gets a weight of 0.3, and the fourth grade gets a weight of 0.2. That is, the final grade is computed as follows: 0.2grade1+0.3grade2+0.3grade3+0.2grade4 Using this information, construct a 60-by-7 two-dimensional array, in which the first column is used for the student number, the next four columns for the grades, and the last two columns for the computed final grades. The program’s output should be a display of the data in the completed array. For testing purposes, the professor has provided the following data:arrow_forward
