Present Value
Suppose you want to deposit a certain amount of money into a savings account and then leave it alone to draw interest for the next 10 years. At the end of 10 years you would like to have $10,000 in the account. How much do you need to deposit today to make that happen? You can use the following formula, which is known as the present-value formula, to find out:
The terms in the formula are as follows:
- P is the present value, or the amount that you need to deposit today.
- F is the future value that you want in the account. (In this case, F is $10,000.)
- r is the annual interest rate.
- n is the number of years that you plan to let the money sit in the account.
Write a method named PresentValue that performs this calculation. The method should accept the future value, annual interest rate, and number of years as arguments. It should return the present value, which is the amount that you need to deposit today. Demonstrate the method in an application that lets the user experiment with different values for the formula’s terms.

In Saudi Arabia, the Kudai Parking Area is a parking lot that is next to the Ajyad Police Station and close to the Power Plant. Kudai is a well-known parking space
near Masjid al-Haram. After parking there, you can take a taxi to Masjid al-Haram for 10-15 Riyals for a 10-minute drive. The parking is usually heavily occupied,
and the following formula is used to compute the parking lot uțilization:
Percentage of Parking Lot Utilized - Number of lots occupied + Total number of lots
Write a program that calculates the occupancy rate for each zone of a massive parking lot like Kudai. The program should start by asking for the number of
zones in the parking lot. A loop should then iterate once for each zone. During each iteration, the loop should ask the user for the number of lots in the zone
and the number of them that are occupied. After all the iterations, the program should display the number of lots the parking has, the number of them that
are occupied, the number that is vacant, and…

Let (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) be the geographical latitude and longitude of two points. The great circle distance between the two points can be computed using the following formula: d = radius * arccos(sin(x 1) * sin(x 2) + cos(x 1) * cos(x 2) * cos(y1 - y2)) Write a program that prompts the user to enter the latitude and longitude of two points on the earth in degrees and displays its great circle distance. The average earth radius is 6,371.01 km. Note that you need to convert the degrees into radians using the math.radians function since the Python trigonometric functions use radians. The latitude and longitude degrees in the formula are for north and west. Use negative to indicate south and east degrees.arrow_forward
- 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.

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_forwardInterest on a credit card’s unpaid balance is calculated using the average daily balance. Suppose that netBalanceis the balance shown in the bill, paymentis the payment made, d1is the number of days in the billing cycle, and d2is the number of days payment is made before the 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 balanceis: interest = averageDailyBalance * 0.0152 Design a program that accepts as input netBalance, payment, d1, d2, and interest rate per month. The program outputs the interest charged. Format your output to two decimal places. C++arrow_forward
- JAVA based program need helparrow_forwardScenario As you surely know, due to some astronomical reasons, years may be leap or common. The former are 366 days long, while the latter are 365 days long. Since the introduction of the Gregorian calendar (in 1582), the following rule is used to determine the kind of year: if the year number isn't divisible by four, it's a common year, otherwise, if the year number isn't divisible by 100, it's a leap year. otherwise, if the year number isn't divisible by 400, it's a common year. otherwise, it's a leap year. none of the above year int(input("enter the year")) if (year%4 1-0) and (year%400 -0) or (year % 1000): print (year is common year") else: print(year, is leap year") year= int(input ("enter the year")) if (years !-0) or (year480 1-0) and (year % 1001-0): print(year is common year") else: print(year, "is leap year") D year= int(input("enter the year"))arrow_forwardProblem: Given a student's Total Quiz Score, the student's Examination Score, the Perfect Quiz score, and the Perfect Examination Score, the Prelim Grade is computed by using the following formulas: Quiz Grade = (Total Quiz Score) / (Perfect Quiz Score) * 50 + 50 Exam Grade = (Examination Score) / (Perfect Examination Score) * 50 + 50 Prelim Grade = (Quiz Grade + Exam Grade) / 2 Notes: If the computed Prelim Grade is more than 99, the Prelim Grade is set to 99. If the computed Prelim Grade is less than 65, the Prelim Grade is set to 65. Based on the algorithm and the sample runs/executions, create a java program that computes the Prelim Grade based on the above mentioned formulas. The program will allow the computer to accept a student's Total Quiz Score, a student's Examination Score, the Perfect Total Quiz Score and the Perfect Examination Score. The computer will then show the corresponding grade. In addition, the remark “PASSED" will be given if the grade is at least 75 and the…arrow_forward

Sadly, some cabins are broken and need to be repaired. You have an infinitely long repair tape. You want to cut some pieces from the tape and use them to cover all of the broken cabins. To be precise, a piece of tape of integer length t placed at some positions will cover segments 5,5+1-sit-1. You are allowed to cover non-broken cabins, it is also possible that some pieces of tape will overlap. Time is money, so you want to cut at most k continuous pieces of tape to cover all the broken cabins. What is the minimum total length of these pieces?
