9802, not 9082. Helps to read the problem the same way every time.
551/9802=.0562
Eta: and, more importantly, to type it correctly!

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

If I do (551x29.5+10000)-9802 = 16,728, then divide that by 29.5, I get 557.71 per year. Divide that by 9802, and I get 5.689%.

Oh, bless you all! I did it! FIVE FREAKING HOURS I've spent on this problem. Just needed another perspective. Was making it too wicked hard.

I think maybe you left out some words in your notes, and annual yield is total interest earned EACH YEAR divided by cost.
Eta: according to my recently acquired MBA, I should know this rather than guessing, but I don't. I can, however, look it up if need be.

Takes me back to my semester of Statistics. Spend the ENTIRE weekend on homework, finish maybe a third.
Yep, still pleased with the choice of Tap Dance over Econ.
Um, not to discourage you, vw, I'll have to take the Econ eventually, and ummm, go you! You're finished with that problem!

Tap Dance is always an excellent choice, Epic. I approve.

Tap dance is an excellent choice.
Thanks all! I'm off to treat myself to tv, then go to bed. I'm sure there will be more questions in the future, but this was really, really helpful.

Yep, I'd been wanting to take it for years and it finally came together this semester. Yay!
Now, between that, and Lindy Whips and Tricks, and Smooth Blues, and Irish Ceili - if I don't lose some weight this semester, me and God are gonna have to have a talk about what's a Slow Metabolism and what's Just Mean.
