George jefferson established a trust fund that provides $170,500 in scholarships each year for worthy students. the trust fund earns a 4 percent rate of return. how much money did mr. jefferson contribute to the fund assuming that only the interest income is distributed?

The returns of a capital amount to a compensation rate for depositing the money, to calculate these returns an interest rate is used by which the deposited capital is multiplied, in this case the rate is 4%.

As the money distributed is only the product of interest, then that money is the result of multiplying the capital by the interest rate, to obtain how much money Mr. Jefferson contributed, the reverse process will have to be done.

Answers

let C be the capital, then :

The capital contributed by Mr. Jefferson was $4,262,500

the correct answer is economics is a game without winners or losers.

unlike sports or games economic is a game without losers or winner rather it is a game where everyone wins. parties of business doing businesses exchange money with each other and hence exchange is done on the basis of goods. one party takes the goods and other sales it so there is winner on both sides. each party values more highly the good it gets than the good it gives up. both sides exchange only because both intend to increase their value. so there is no concept of lose or win.
