Question 90

Multiple Choice

D=[80(1.08) 1×1]+[80(1.08) 2×2][80(1.08) 3×3][80(1.08) 4×4][80+1,000(1.08) 5×5]1,000=4.312D = \frac { \left[ \frac { 80 } { ( 1.08 ) ^ { 1 } } \times 1 \right] + \left[ \frac { 80 } { ( 1.08 ) ^ { 2 } } \times 2 \right] \left[ \frac { 80 } { ( 1.08 ) ^ { 3 } } \times 3 \right] \left[ \frac { 80 } { ( 1.08 ) ^ { 4 } } \times 4 \right] \left[ \frac { 80 + 1,000 } { ( 1.08 ) ^ { 5 } } \times 5 \right] } { 1,000 } = 4.312
