Calculation:
Description | Steps |
Assign variables for the unknown that we need to find | Let x be the amount invested in corporate bond paying 3.5% as interest, and y be the amount invested in corporate bond paying 5% as interest |
Write an equation based on total amount of investment. Amount invested in corporate bond paying 3.5% interest + Amount invested in corporate bond paying 5% interest = Total investment | |
Use the interest formula to find the interest amount earned due to the investment in corporate bond paying 3.5% interest in one year |
Calculation (Continued):
Description | Steps |
Use the interest formula to find the interest amount earned due to the investment in corporate bond paying 5% interest in one year | |
Write an equation based on the information that Annual interest income required for the investments is $930 | |
Label the system of equations | |
Solve the 1st equation for y by subtracting x on both sides | |
Substitute 24000 − x for y in the 2nd equation | |
Distribute 0.05 in the left side of the equation | |
Group and combine like terms | |
In the process of solving for x subtract 1200 on both sides of the equation and simplify | |
Dividing -0.015 on both sides and simplify fraction on both sides | |
Substitute 18000 for x in |
Conclusion:
The amount invested in corporate bond paying 3.5% as interest is $18000 and the amount invested in corporate bond paying 5% as interest is $6000
