Slide 1: What is Middleware? Types of Middleware?
Slide 2: How is Middleware used in SaaS?
Slide 3: How is Middleware used in this application?
Notes: In Progress

Slide 1: Middleware works to bridge applications and operating systems. It provides the connection between the user and the information the user wants to see. (Gazis and Katsirii, 2022). It is the software layer in between applications and operating systems (Rouse, 2017).

Slide 2: Middleware is used in SaaS to send information from an API to a back-end server or servers and sends information from them back to the user using an API. (Red Hat, 2022)

Slide 3: Middleware is used in this application of Ebay to send information from the website, to the server, to the Ebay item database and back to the user. Without middleware, the Ebay store would not be available on many devices at once, accessible from anywhere. (Kumara et al., 2020)

Value Of Annuity

Posted on | by

Two friends, Sally and Debbie, decide to make Saturday special and plan a fun family dinner twice a month.

Sally packs a picnic lunch and spends every other Saturday in the park; that night, she deposits $100 in an online mutual fund savings account which pays 8% interest.
Debbie takes her family out to eat every other Saturday and puts the charge of $100 on her credit card. Her credit card interest is 20% based on her credit score rating of “Prime”.
Part A: Based on the first scenario:

Answer the following question utilizing the Future Value of Annuity calculator:

If Sally’s account compounds monthly, calculate how much Sally will have in her savings account:

In 10 years?
In 20 years
In 30 years?
In 40 years?
Part B: Based on the second scenario:

Answer the following question utilizing the Credit Card Interest Calculator:

For just one year of spending $100 on dinner every other Saturday, how much would Debbie pay in interest for her credit card balance of $2,400 if she pays the minimum payment of $48 per month? How long would it take for Debbie to pay off the debt?
If she had the better credit score rating of “Superprime”, her interest rate would be lowered to 18%. With this change, how much interest would she pay and how long would it take to pay off this debt?
For more information about interest rates, please review this article regarding credit score ratings.
Part C: For the conclusion of this assignment, answer the following questions.

Were you surprised at the results?
