Initial Investment The desired item is jewelry The cost in 12 years will be about $6000. The average interest rate is 5%. The Present value formula is P =A (1+r)-n where P is the present value that will amount to A dollars in n years at interest rate r compounded annually. Note that the quantity raised to a power has the negative exponent on –n. According to the rules of exponents‚ this means that once the negative is put into effect‚ the base quantity will change position by dropping down

The discount rate Main article: Discount rate The rate used to discount future cash flows to their present values is a key variable of this process.

Mortality rate is a measure of the number of deaths (in general‚ or due to a specific cause) in a population‚ scaled to the size of that population‚ per unit of time. Mortality rate is typically expressed in units of deaths per 1000 individuals per year; thus‚ a mortality rate of 9.5 (out of 1000) in a population of 1‚000 would mean 9.5 deaths per year in that entire population‚ or 0.95% out of the total. It is distinct from morbidity rate‚ which refers to the number of individuals in poor health

Resting metabolic rate can vary with age independently from body mass changes in the Colorado potato beetle‚ Leptinotarsa decemlineata. Abstract A study was done by Saija Pironine‚ leena Lindstrom‚ and Anne Lyytinen in the Journal of Insect Physiology‚ to investigate the age dependence of resting metabolic rate in Colorado potato beetle (Leptinotarsadecemlineata) from adult emergence until age 10 days. In their hypothesis they expected to see a bell shaped pattern in metabolic rate with adult age
