Future Value
Suppose you have a certain amount of money in a savings account that earns compound monthly interest, and you want to calculate the amount that you will have after a specific number of months. The formula, which is known as the future value formula, is:
The variables in the formula are as follows:
- F is the future value of the account after the specified time period.
- P is the present value of the account.
- i is the monthly interest rate.
- t is the number of months.

- When you borrow money to buy a house, a car, or for some other purpose, you repay the loan by making periodic payments over a certain period of time. Of course, the lending company will charge interest on the loan. Every periodic payment consists of the interest on the loan and the payment toward the principal amount. To be specific, suppose that you borrow $1,000 at an interest rate of 7.2% per year and the payments are monthly. Suppose that your monthly payment is $25. Now, the interest is 7.2% per year and the payments are monthly, so the interest rate per month is 7.2/12 = 0.6%. The first months interest on $1,000 is 1000 0.006 = 6. Because the payment is $25 and the interest for the first month is $6, the payment toward the principal amount is 25 6 = 19. This means after making the first payment, the loan amount is 1,000 19 = 981. For the second payment, the interest is calculated on $981. So the interest for the second month is 981 0.006 = 5.886, that is, approximately $5.89. This implies that the payment toward the principal is 25 5.89 = 19.11 and the remaining balance after the second payment is 981 19.11 = 961.89. This process is repeated until the loan is paid. Write a program that accepts as input the loan amount, the interest rate per year, and the monthly payment. (Enter the interest rate as a percentage. For example, if the interest rate is 7.2% per year, then enter 7.2.) The program then outputs the number of months it would take to repay the loan. (Note that if the monthly payment is less than the first months interest, then after each payment, the loan amount will increase. In this case, the program must warn the borrower that the monthly payment is too low, and with this monthly payment, the loan amount could not be repaid.)arrow_forward(Statistics) This is the formula for the standard normal deviate, z, used in statistical applications: z=(X)/ X is a single value. refers to an average value. refers to a standard deviation.

- Domino's Time Function Name: dominosTime() Parameters: N/A Returns: None Description: During the summer, you ordered a lot of food from Domino's. Pizzas are $12, an order of pasta is $6, and chicken wings are $8. Write a function that asks the user how many of each food item they would like, and then print a response telling them what their order to- tal will be. The order total should be an integer. >>> dominosTime() How many pizzas do you want? 3 How many orders of pasta do you want? 2 How many orders of chicken wings do you want? 2 By ordering 3 pizzas, 2 orders of pasta, and 2 orders of chicken wings, your order total comes to $64.arrow_forwardPROGRAM DESCRIPTION John dela Cruz is interested in knowing how much his interest earning would be after some time. Assuming there are no deposits other than the original investment, the balance in a savings account after one year may be calculated as: amount = principal * (1 + rate/m)" interest = amount - principal Principal is the balance in the savings account, rate is the interest rate (0 to 100), m is the number of times the interest is compounded during a year (m is either 1,2,3 or 4 if the interest is compounded quarterly) and nis the number of year., Write a program that asks for the borrower's lastname, borrower's first name, borrower's middle name, civil status (Single, Married, Widow), principal, the interest rate and the number of times the interest is compounded. Follow the format of the report provided in the example.

To Play: a. The players each take turns rolling two die. b. A player scores the sum of the two dice thrown (unless the roll contains a 1): If a single number 1 is thrown on either die, the score for that whole turn is lost (referred to as “Pigged Out”). A 1 on both dice is scored as 25. c. During a single turn, a player may roll the dice as many times as they desire. The score for a single turn is the sum of the individual scores for each dice roll. d. The first player to reach the goal score wins unless a player scores higher subsequently in the same round. Therefore, everyone in the game must have the same number of turns. Execution and User Input This program is quite interactive with the user(s) and will take in the following information; please review the sample input / output sessions for details; we describe them again here emphasizing input.

- The quadratic formula is used to solve a very specific type of equation, called aquadratic equation. These equations are usually written in the following form:ax2 + bx + c = 0The Quadratic Formula x = ( -b ± √( b^2 - 4ac ) ) / ( 2a ) Where a, b, and c are constants with a ≠ 0. (If a = 0, the equation is a linear equation.)The discriminant is the part of the formula in the square root. If the value of the discriminant is zero then the equation has a single real root. If the value of thediscriminant is positive then the equation has two real roots. If the value of thediscriminant is negative, then the equation has two complex roots.Write a program that finds the roots of the quadratic equation using the Quadratic Formula. Write a function named discriminant in the file, Disc.py, to calculate and return the discriminant of the formula. Let the main function call the discriminant function and then calculate the solution(s) of the equation. Do not calculate the solutions in the discriminant…arrow_forwardC Language - Given a highway number, indicate whether it is a primary or auxiliary highway.

They have the following rules: An employee gets paid (hours worked) × (base pay), for each hour up to 40 hours. For every hour over 40, they get overtime = (base pay) × 1.5. If the number of hours is greater than 60, print an error message. Example: If an employee works for 45 hours, and his base pay is $8 , the he will get= (40 * 8)+ [5* (8 * 1.5)] = $380 Create a new class called StarkIndustry. Write a method that takes the base pay and hours worked as parameters, and prints the total pay or an error. Write a main method that calls this method for each of these employees: Employee No Base pay Hours Worked Employee 1 $7.20 35 Employee 2 $8.20 47 Employee 2 $10.50 73 You will have to submit StarkIndustry.java file.arrow_forward
- Assignment Write a program that tracks how much steps the user walks in total in a day and reports if the daily target is reached or not. The program will keep reading double values, each representing steps walked during an individual activity within a day (stepsWalked) until either the user enters a negative value or the daily target of 5000 steps is met. If the user enters a negative number, the program should print total steps walked as a double. Otherwise, if the target is exactly reached, the program should simply print "Target is reached", finally if the target is surpassed the program should print the text "Target is surpassed by", followed by the excess amount above the target as a double, and finally printing the text "steps". NOTE: YOU MUST use a repetitive statement in this question. NOTE: Each stepsWalked value will be given as a non-negative value. You do NOT need to check this.

You are not told how many teams are participating but you do know that: Each team has a name, which is one of the uppercase letters A-Z. No two teams have the same name, so there are a maximum number of 26 teams. Each team has the same number of members. No two runners cross the finish line at the same time – i.e. there are no ties. At the end of the race we can write the results as a string of characters indicating the order in which runners crossed the finish line. For example: ZZAZAA We can see there were two teams: A and Z. Team A’s runners finished in 3rd, 5th and 6th place. Team Z’s runners finished in 1st, 2nd and 4th place. Scoring the race Each runner is assigned a score equal to their finishing place. In the example above team Z’s runners achieved scores of 1, 2 and 4. Team A’s runners scores were 3, 5, and 6 respectively. The team’s score is the sum of the members score divided by the number of people on…arrow_forward
