Explain what an appearance allowance is, using a specific example.

What will be an ideal response?


An appearance allowance is an amount that is paid directly to the vehicle's owner when a vehicle has sustained minor cosmetic damage that the owner agrees will go unrepaired. Instead of repairing the minor imperfection or replacing the part altogether, the owner agrees to live with the damage and the insurance company awards them an appropriate amount to do so.

In order to establish a contingency fund to replace equipment after unexpected breakdowns, a manu­facturer of thin-wall plastic bottles plans to de­posit $100,000 now and $150,000 two years from now into an investment account. Assuming the account grows at 15% per year, the equation that does not represent the future value of the account in year 5 is:

(a) F = 100,000(F?P,15%,5) + 150,000(F?P,15%,3) (b) F = [100,000(F?P,15%,2) + 150,000] (F?P,15%,3) (c) F = [100,000 + 150,000(P?F,15%,2)] (F?P,15%,5) (d) F = 100,000(F?P,15%,5) + 150,000(F?P,15%,2)
