A 57-year-old couple is considering opening a business of their own. They will either purchase an established Gift and Card Shoppe or open a new Wine Boutique. The Gift Shoppe has a continuous income stream with an annual rate of flow at time t given by
G(t) = 37,300 (dollars per year).
The Wine Boutique has a continuous income stream with a projected annual rate of flow at time t given by
W(t) = 21,000e0.08t (dollars per year).
The initial investment is the same for both businesses, and money is worth 10% compounded continuously. Find the present value of each business over the next 8 years (until the couple reaches age 65) to see which is the better buy. (Round your answers to the nearest dollar.)

- If a village has a population of 2000 and a natural growth rate of 3.7% but has a carrying capacity of 6000, what will the population be in 2 years time under the logistic growth model?arrow_forwardAccording to the U.S. Census Bureau, the population of the United States in 2008 was 304 million people. In addition, the population of the United States was growing at a rate of 1.1% per year. Assuming this growth rate continues, the model t- 2008 P(t) = 304 · (1.011)' represents the population P (in millions of people) in year t. According to the model, when will the population be 442 million people? Be sure to round your answer to the nearest whole year. Yeararrow_forward
