If the price of a product increases, the demand for the resource used in producing that product decreases.

1 answer:

6 0

Economists call this the law of demand. As the price of a product increases, the quantity demanded decreases (but the demand itself remains the same). If the price falls, the quantity demanded will increase.

Resource Prices – Rising resource prices lead to a decrease in supply or a leftward shift in the supply curve. Falling resource prices lead to an increase in supply or a rightward shift in the supply curve.

An increase in demand shifts the demand curve to the right and a decrease in supply shifts the supply curve to the left.

A decrease in demand leads to a decrease in the equilibrium price. Less quantity to deliver. An increase in supply leads to a product decrease in the equilibrium price, all other things being equal. Demand increases.

Mark Johnson saves a fixed percentage of his salary at the end of each year. This year he saved $2,000. For each of the next 5 y

adell [148]

Answer:

The correct answer is:

$17,437.28

Explanation:

First of all, let us lay out the particulars that will aid us in our calculations:

Amount saved in year 1 = $2000

Number of years saved in total = 6 years

annual rate of savings increase = 10% increase on the amount for that year to the next year

Annual return on investment = 13%.

Next, let us calculate the 10% increase in savings from years 2 to 6.

Year 1 investment = $ 2000

Year 2 investment = Year 1 saving + 10% of year one saving

hence, investment 2 saving = 2000 + (10/100 × 2000) = 2000 + (0.1 × 2000)

Year 2 investment = 2000 +200 = $2,200.

Year 3 investment = year 2 saving + (0.1 × year 2 saving) = 2200 + (0.1 × 2200)

year 3 investment = 2200 + 220 = $2,420

Year 4 investment = 2420 + (0.1 × 2420) = 2420 + 242 = $2,662

Year 5 investment = 2662 + (0.1 × 2662) = 2662 + 266.2 = $2928.2

Year 6 investment = 2928.2 + (0.1 × 2928.2) = 2928.2 + 292.82 = $3,221.02

Next, let us create a table to show the total amount for each year.

Note, to determine the 13% annual investment return on each year:

13% = 13/100 = 0.13. So, we will multiply the investment for each year with 0.13 to get the annual investment. It is shown hence:

Year Investment (I) ($) Annual return (AR) ($) Total amount (I + AR) ($)

1 2000 260 2260

2 2200 286 2486

3 2420 314.6 2734.6

4 2662 346.06 3008.06

5 2928.2 380.67 3308.87

6 3221.02 418.73 3639.75

Total 17,437.28

Therefore, at the end of 6 years mark would have $17,437.28 (approx. $17,437)
