Answer to Question 1

wohoo thank youuu.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: D
Explanation: D) With PV = 1,000, APR = 5.00, C/Y = 4, periodic interest rate = r = 0.0125, we begin by taking (1 + periodic rate) to the power of C/Y. Doing this gives: (1.0125)4 = 1.050945. Multiplying this number by PV gives 1,050.95.
