  1. 7.15 years
  2. 12.14 years
  3. 7.29 years
  4. 8.03 years
  5. 9.90 years

Answer(s): E

Explanation:

To solve this question, choose a future value that is twice the size of the present value. The actual number will not matter. On the BAII Plus, press 7.25 I/Y, 1000 PV, 0 PMT, 2000 +/- FV, CPT N. On the HP12C, press 7.25 i, 1000 PV, 0 PMT, 2000 CHS FV, n. Note that the HP12C will show 10 for the answer. The answer will be the same as long as the FV is twice as large as the PV. Make sure that the BAII Plus has the P/Y value set to 1.

An automobile manufacturer makes 2 different chassis, each of which can have 3 different body types and 8 colors. How many different looking cars can be made with these choices?

  1. 40.
  2. 24.
  3. 13.
  4. 48.

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

The multiplication rule of counting states that the number of combinations available when there are n_1 options in one aspect, n_2 in another, and so on, up to n_k, is n_1 * n_2 * ... * n_k. In this case, the number of combinations is 2*3*8 = 48.
