Suppose that you have \(\$ 10,000\) in a rather risky investment recommended by your financial advisor. During the first year, your investment decreases by \(30 \%\) of its original value. During the second year, your investment increases by \(40 \%\) of its first-year value. Your advisor tells you that there must have been a \(10 \%\) overall increase of your original \(\$ 10,000\) investment. Is your financial advisor using percentages properly? If not, what is your actual percent gain or loss of your original \(\$ 10,000\) investment?
In Exercises 11-18, a. Determine the periodic deposit. Round up to the nearest dollar. b.

Suppose your credit card has a balance of \(\$ 3600\) and an annual interest rate of \(16.5 \%\). You decide to pay off the balance over two years. If there are no further purchases charged to the card, a. How much must you pay each month? b. How much total interest will you pay?
Suppose that you are thinking about buying a car and have narrowed down your choices to two options: The new-car option: The new car costs \(\$ 28,000\) and can be financed with a four-year loan at \(6.12 \%\). The used-car option: A three-year old model of the same car costs \(\$ 16,000\) and can be financed with a four-year loan at \(6.86 \%\). What is the difference in monthly payments between financing the new car and financing the used car?
How much should you deposit at the end of each month into an IRA that pays \(8.5 \%\) compounded monthly to have \(\$ 4\) million when you retire in 45 years? How much of the \(\$ 4\) million comes from interest?
