You plan to invest $10,000 in two funds paying 4.5% and 5% simple interest. (There is more risk in the 5% fund.) Your goal is to obtain a total annual interest income of $480 from the investments. What is the smallest amount you can invest in the 5% fund and still meet your objective?

$6000

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Total planned amount to invest = 10,000 in two funds:

Fund A at rates 4.5% and

Fund B at 5% simple interest

Total Annual Interest should be = 480

What is the smallest amount you can invest in the 5% fund and still meet your objective?

Let ;

Investment in fund A = principal = a at 4.5%(0.045)

Investment in fund B = principal = (10000 - a) at 5%(0.05)

Simple interest = principal * rate * time

a + (10000 - a) = 10000

(a * 0.045) + (10000 - a) * 0.05 = 480

0.045a + 500 - 0.05a = 480

-0.005a = 480 - 500

-0.005a = - 20

a = 20 / 0.005

a = 4000

4000 at 4.5%

Investment in fund B = principal = (10000 - a)

(10,000 - 4000) = 6000

points are handed out whenever you post answers.

brainliest answers are handed out by the person asking the question, so whether your answer is picked depends entirely on whether the asker bothers to pick

if you're asking about your rank, it depends on having a certain number of points and a certain number of brainliest answers. for example, at the time of this writing, i have 44338 points out of 15000 needed for the next (nearly triple the requirement! ) but i only have 24 out of 50 required brainliest answers. this number decays, meaning after a certain amount of time (i think about a month), the total number of brainliest answers you've earned doesn't count toward this total. (i've been stuck at the same rank for a long

the lesson to learn here is that you shouldn't worry about points or rank. chances are, no matter how good an answer you may provide, your efforts will go mostly unnoticed unless you focus on the newest/most active questions that get posted.
