Frustrated!!


I've spent all morning trying to write a damn speech and it seems like I haven't made any progress.

frustrated too! trying to do some finance homework.. btw, can any one give me a hand?

compound interest forula:
[initial amount of money] x (1+[interest rate])^[time period]

the rate is for 3 months, 2.46950766. for comodity i'll refer to it as "I" (no quotes).

some guy took out a loan, to be paid in 3 payments:
3500 after 3 months
5800 after 9 months
9300 after 15 months.
[all 3 payments include interest]

how much did he take out in the first place?

i added all 3 and got 18600 as total amount due. now, using the formula:
18600 = C [initial amount] x (1+i)^5

5 because there are 5 three month periods in 15 months.
so, C = 18600/(1+i)^5, right?
NO! the value given by the solution in the book is different.

yes, i'm asking for help with Finance in a metal forum.

What is C?

C would be the initial amount invested/borrowed/whatever.

in the foruma (compound interest)
C(1+i)^n

c initial amount, i rate, n time (according to rate - i.e. if the rate is yearly, then the time should be in years)

anyways a classmate showed up on MSN and it's solved, thx

Well I'm glad you are no longer frustrated.

I, on the other hand, could punch myself in the face

5,555(1 + i) + 9,284,294,798,324,729.1(90x) + 892839(98y)times!!!


i = 9.000001918274648392001873648
x = 999,999,999
y = 89

A little frustrated. My mind is faster at creating than my hands...

Still recovering from headache after all the fucking fireworks going off last night. We should worship Fawkes, not burn him in effigy!

My neck's a bit sore and I'm kinda tired. Thats what happens when you get to hear Primal Fear, Manowar, HammerFall, Rhapsody and Slayer palyed back to back in a club.

Then things to a bit of a turn for the worse.

I feel angry and frustrated about everything.

Well, at least I got a review done.

Slightly confused and strangely depressed. I can't decide wether I should go for a walk to clear my head or sit around in my apartment and stare into nothingness... I think I'll go with the latter. At least in that way I can avoid unnesessary interaction with humans.

Pissed off, bored and tired at the same time. I have had so much homework this week so I've pretty much been sitting in front of the computer from 3-4 pm to 9-10 pm every single day this week.

Same here... I have a fuckin' paper due for tomorrow and it's going nowhere...

I STILL have not written my speech (See above post). I feel your pain guys.

I'll give you some help. Try and start it with "friends, romans, countrymen!"

I have an essay due tomorrow on A Tale of Two Cities, and my English teacher thinks I'm a cocksoldier, so I should really work on it. He'll take off points for everything.

As a result, I am frantic. I probably shouldn't be posting here.

You'll be fine dude.

Of course.

You, I'm not so sure about. Write the speech! Imagine that a grizzly bear, a raging rabid grizzly bear, is being kept, caged, behind you. If you don't finish the speech soon, he'll be released and savagely maim you until dead.

A Tale Of Two Cities is one of the most savagely boring books I've read.

Waaay to much pressure.

I like it. It's not Dickens's best, though; that title goes, arguably, to either Oliver Twist or Nicholas Nickleby.

Too much simplicity, if you ask me, and too much 'introduced solely to make a point' characters are the main downfall of A Tale, if you ask me.



Well... you could make it a black bear, but it doesn't carry the same respect as a grizzly bear does. Not as motivational.

Do what works.
