So, going by that, the answers are



a)   1%
1 x 1.01^12 = 1.126825030131969720661201 - 1 = 0.126825030131969720661201

12.68%

b)   1.5%
1 x 1.015^12 = 1.1956181714615352515612900979004 – 1 = 0.1956181714615352515612900979004

19.56%

c)   2.5%
1 x 1.025^12 = 1.3448888242462984371781349182129 – 1 = 0.3448888242462984371781349182129

34.49%

d)   0.5%
1 x 1.005^12 = 1.0616778118644995687897076174316 – 1 = 0.0616778118644995687897076174316

6.17%

e)   0.75%
1 x 1.0075^12 = 1.0938068976709830629654555485869 – 1 = 0.0938068976709830629654555485869

9.38%


Yes? :>

Going by that, that makes it so that a) is 1 x 1.01^12 = 1.126825030131969720661201 - 1 = 0.126825030131969720661201

That did very little to the number beyond adding a load of digits after the decimal place and then minus one o.o

Here's the explanation given on the sheet



Calculating APR

There are several ways to calculate APR, but the simplest way is to assume that there are no fees incurred against a loan/credit card.  The APR is then calculated from the compound interest for a year.

Example

For this example you will need a scientific calculator, and know how to use the to the power of button.

If you have a credit card and are charged 2% per month, then
You calculate the compound interest for the year. To do this:
1.   Take the interest rate and divide it by 100 i.e. 2 ÷ 100 = 0.02
2.   Then add the answer to 1 i.e. 0.02 + 1  = 1.02
3.   Then use the power button on your calculator and raise the number to a power of 12  i.e. 1.0212 = 1.2682
4.   Now subtract 1 from the answer i.e. 1.2682 – 1 = 0.2682
5.   And finally multiply the answer by 100 i.e. 0.2682 x 100 = 26.82%.  This gives you the annual percentage rate.

So the annual percentage rate based on 2% per month is 26.82%



It made my brain melt











Calculate the annual percentage rate (APR) for the following monthly payments:

a)   1%
b)   1.5%
c)   2.5%
d)   0.5%
e)   0.75%


Numbers damage my brain, can you tell?

Hey guys, how's it going?

I'm having a little bit of trouble with Visual Basic.

I'm trying to work an array with a variable, you know, like name(i), i having a value that gets set at the beginning

But, to do a For loop to loop for the number of times equal to i, I called up another element, n. n is an integer like i

The lecture slides say it's okay to do this. In fact, here's its example:


For i = 1 to num_tracks
   names(i) = InputBox(“Name of track ” & i)
   times(i) = InputBox(“Time for track ” & i)
   total_time = total_time + times(i)
Next

next to my current code for this part:

        For n = 1 To i
            'Get runner's name
            '====================
            name(n) = InputBox("Input runner " & n & "'s name")

            'Get a time for each lap
            '====================
            lap1(n) = InputBox("Input the time for " & name(n) & "'s first lap")
            lap2(n) = InputBox("Input the time for " & name(n) & "'s second lap")
        Next


I run a debug test and it gives me an IndexOutOfRangeException and says "Index was outside the bounds of the array"


Here's my full code, btw


Public Class Form1

    Private Sub btnStart_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnStart.Click
        '====================
        'Coursework 2012 Program
        'by Student 09001219
        '08/03/2012
        '====================

        'Calling elements and arrays
        '====================
        Dim valid As Boolean
        Dim i As Integer
        Dim n As Integer
        Dim name(i) As String
        Dim lap1(i) As Integer
        Dim lap2(i) As Integer

        'Get valid number of runners
        '====================
        valid = False
            While valid = False
                i = InputBox("Input a number between 2 and 8")
                If i >= 2 Then
                    If i <= 8 Then
                        valid = True
                    End If
                End If
        End While

        'Loop for number of runners
        '====================
        For n = 1 To i
            'Get runner's name
            '====================
            name(n) = InputBox("Input runner " & n & "'s name")

            'Get a time for each lap
            '====================
            lap1(n) = InputBox("Input the time for " & name(n) & "'s first lap")
            lap2(n) = InputBox("Input the time for " & name(n) & "'s second lap")
        Next
        MsgBox("This is one of those boxes you get that proves you've got this far without issue")
    End Sub
End Class

Anyone have any home remedies for a stomach virus or food poisoning?
Depends what kind of stomach bug it is

By that logic I can deduce that Clickbeetle has no friends. :gawe:
Actually, people generally flock to nice people over jerks
Aye, just look at me   :approve:
Now is not the time to be arrogant

You can be arrogant on Facebook later when I get home and flick over to RockMelt

I did some research about mr. Awesumsauce...

Look at his very first posts, they're normal just like everyone elses. Then he started acting and making himself look like noob/fool... Seriously, I don't understand it. I miss old Mr. AS. I don't wanna insult him or anything, But I'm just confused why he started acting like that he is now.  :frown:
He's one of the guys, like ty4er and 090901. That should explain it all you need to know

Tell me what you want from it. Realistic, fantasy, sci-fi? All humans or something more like Monster Girl Quest? Or like DALK?

Thanks.

This topic needs a revamp, and I should really start working more on this game

Also, isn't necroposting against the rules?


Youre wasting your talent with this... MAKE SOME HENTAI!!! :D
In serious, would anyone actually want this? I have skills enough to make it a reality now, but am not gonna start drawing hentai for no reason
