1 answer:

7 0

Scarcity has an impact on how people value goods and services, as well as how governments and private companies divide resources. The infinite wants of the consumers define the economic value of an item.

<h3>What factors influence the economic value of an item?</h3>

The relationship between supply and demand for a specific product determines relative scarcity.

The scarcity principle is an economic theory that explains the dynamic supply-and-demand price relationship.

The scarcity principle states that if an item has a low supply and a high demand, the price will rise to meet the predicted demand.

Project A has a required return on 9.2 percent and cash flows of −$87,000, $32,600, $35,900, and $43,400 for Years 0 to 3, respe

LiRa [457]

Answer:

Accept Project B , Reject Project A

Explanation:

Net present value is the present value of after tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.

NPV can be found using a financial calculator

For project A ,

Cash flow in year 0 = $-87,000

Cash flow in year 1 = $32,600

Cash floe in year 2 = $35,900

Cash floe in year 3 = $43,400

I = 9.2%

NPV = $6,288.17

For project B,

Cash flow in year zero = −$85,000

Cash flow in year 1 = $14,700

Cash flow in year 2 = $21,200

Cash flow in year 3 = $89,800

I = 12.7%

NPV = $7,468.93

Based on the NPV, the second project would be chosen because it has a higher NPV.

Both projects are profitable but because the projects are mutually exclusive, only the more profitable project can be chosen.

To find the NPV using a financial calacutor:

1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

2. After inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

3. Press compute

maksim [4K]

Answer:

$24,400

Explanation:

Assuming that Alan and Donna are married and they decide to file their taxes together, the standard deduction for 2019 taxes was $24,400.

The standard deduction increases if you or your spouse is over 65 years old, or if any of you is blind. The standard deduction generally increases a little bit every year, e.g. during 2018 it was $24,000 and for 2020 it is $24,800.

Andre45 [30]

Answer:

The correct answer is a).

Explanation:

The income elasticity of demand refers to the percentual variation of quantity demanded of a certaing good in response to a percentual variation in income.

If the income elasticity of demand for medical care is 1.35,

<em>a. if income decreases by 1%, the quantity demanded for medical care decreases by 1.35%.</em> TRUE, this is what the definition implies.

<em>b. if the price of medical care increases by 1%, the quantity demanded for medical care decreases by 1.35%. </em>FALSE. In this elasticity, the sign is relevant. This income elasticity implies that changes in income and medical care expenses have the same sign.

<em>c. if the income of the average consumer increases by 1 dollar, the quantity demanded for medical care will increase by 1.35 units of care.</em> FALSE. The elasticity relates percentual variations, not absolute value variations.

<em>d. if income increases by 1%, the quantity demanded for medical care decreases by 1.35%.</em> FALSE. The same as point b.
