FDIC or Federal deposit insurance corporation which gives insurance to the saving account of the people in U.S. Some questions about FDIC insurance limits and beneficiaries –
Q 1) Where can I get to know about insurance rules and limits? Ans- Using electronic deposit insurance estimator.
Q 2) What is the limit of FDIC beneficiaries? Ans- 250000 is the limit up to which you and your family in total can have deposits in your account.
Q 3) what type of accounts are eligible for FDIC insurance?
Trust accounts report Trust account is a savings account deposited in the name of a trustee who controls it during his lifetime, after which the balance is payable to a pre-nominated beneficiary There are two types of Trust Accounts revocable and irrevocable, the extent of FDIC insurance depends on which out of these 2, our account is.
A revocable trust is that, which assigns beneficiaries, receiving the funds of trust after the death of the owner.
But the trust can also be terminated or there can be a change of terms by the owner.
A revocable trust may become an irrevocable trust once the owner dies because effectively there is no longer an option to cancel or change the trust. In a revocable trust, the owner is considered the depositor and the account are only eligible for 250,000 of FDIC insurance coverage.
However, if a bank fails after a trust owner has died but before the trust has been paid out, the beneficiaries are considered the depositors and each is entitled to 250,000 in coverage.

To find: Some employers allow employees to have money deducted from their accounts and automatically placed into a savings account.
Interview three adults working in different professions.
Ask them about employer-sponsored savings plans. Prepare a report on the findings.
A employer-sponsored savings plan is used by employees who elect to save a portion of their paycheck in an investment account.
This type of plan is set up by the employers, who often sponsor the plan as well and these plans are often based around retirement.
There are annual contribution limits, but also tax benefits accompanying this type of plan.
It could be possible to withdraw funds early (with some additional fees) or to bottom against your account balance.
The employees are fully responsible in what their money is invested in and the employees can take their employer-sponsored savings plan with them when they change work (change their employer).

To find: The Rule of 72 is a method for quickly estimating how many years it will take principal to double, assuming the interest was compounded.
Go to the library and/or use the Internet to research the Rule of 72 beyond what was presented in Lesson 3-7.
Prepare some examples to illustrate the rule. Discuss the history and the use of the rule. Display your research on a poster board.
The Rule of 72 is used to determine the time it takes for an investment to double.
To use the rule of 72 , you require the knowledge of the annual rate of return (or annual interest rate).
The rule of 72 states that the product of the rate of return and the number of years (time) should be roughly equal to 72 .
On equivalently, the time it takes to double your investment is 72 divided by the annual interest rate
Although, most people attribute the rule of 72 to Albert Einstein.
The Rule of 72 is used to determine the time it takes for an investment to double.

Page 168 Problem 11 Answer
Given: The graph showing the catching of counterfeit bills in the U.S. is as follows:
To find: If the pattern of catching counterfeit bills before and after circulation follows the same pattern of increases and decreases.
Solution: In the year2000 and2005, the dollars found before and after circulation both increased from the year before but at a different rate.
In the year2001 and 2004, compared to their respective previous years the dollars found after circulation increased but dollars found before circulation decreased the year 2002, both the dollars found before and after circulation decreased but at a different rate.
Similarly, in the year2003, dollars found after circulation decreased whereas dollars found before circulation increased.
Hence we can see that the pattern of catching counterfeit bills before and after circulation do not follow the same pattern of increases and decreases
On examining the graph drawn in the previous part of the question we can observe that the graph showing the catching of counterfeit bills before and after they enter circulation are not similar nor are they completely opposite.
It is a mixture of increases and decreases and both the graph does not show any relation between them.
Thus, the pattern of catching counterfeit bills before and after circulation does not follow the same pattern of increases and decreases.

Given: Santos deposited 1,800 in an account that yields 2.7% interest, compounded semiannually.
To find: How much is in the account after 54 months.
Interest will be the difference of amount and the principle value.
On using the compound interest formula, we can get the value as
A=1800(1+0.027/2)54÷6
=2030.89
Thus, we can say that$2030.89 is in the account after 54 months when Santos deposited 1,800 in an account that yields 2.7% interest, compounded semiannually.

Given: Stephanie signed up for a direct deposit transfer into her savings account from her checking account.
To find: How much will be in the account at the end of 6.5 years.
We will use the formula of Future value of a investment to get the result.
On using the formula for Future value of a investment, we get the value as
B=P((1+r/n)nt−1)/r/n
=150((1+0.026/12)12×6.5−1)/0.026/12
≈12,731.79
Thus, we can say that $12,731.79 be in the account at the end of 6.5 years when Stephanie signed up for a direct deposit transfer into her savings account from her checking account.
