The value of an investment of $1000 earning 5% compounded annually is V(I, R) = 1000 1 + 0.05(1 − R) 1 + I^10 where I is the annual rate of inflation and R is the tax rate for the person making the investment.

a. Calculate VI(0.03, 0.28) and VR(0.03, 0.28).

b. Determine whether the tax rate or the rate of inflation is the greater "negative" factor in the growth of the investment.

i. The rate of inflation has the greater negative influence.

ii. The tax rate has the greater negative influence

VI = -10,289.4

VR = -511.485

The inflation rate is the greater negative factor

The inflation has the greater negative influence.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

V(i, R) =1000[1 +0.05(1-R)]^10 (1+I)^-10

We need to find

dV/di = VI = inflation rate

dV/dr = VR = tax rate

VI = -10,289.4

VR= -511.485

VI > VR

Hence VI has the greater negative factor and It therefore has the greater negative influence.

the correct answer is a) they believe they have a "just cause."

islamic terrorists justify their violent actions because they believe they have a "just cause."

every act of terrorism of islamic sects is done “in the name of allah”. that justifies their actions. islam people who commit those terrorist attacks are not afraid to die. that is why the attacks have horrible consequences. they know they are going to die and they are proud to do it because it is in the name of allah, so it is justified and is for a “good cause.”

since the very beginning of the conflict with israel, islam is fighting a “sacred war”, respecting the words stated in the qur’an. they fight against the domination of the western countries and to defend their occupied territories.
