Answer:

B. $215 million 

Explanation:

The present value of the payment can be found by discounting each cash inflow by the 6% discount rate.

The present value can be found using a financial calculator:

The cash flow for year one = $89

The cash flow for year two = $58

The cash flow for year three = $42

The cash flow for year four = $32

The cash flow for year five = $25

All cash flows are in millions

I = 6%

NPV = $214.87 Million

I hope my answer helps you

Government's unfunded liabilities: a. result in more efficient policies in an attempt to satisfy these liabilities. b. result fr
Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

The correct answer is B. result from the political bias toward immediate benefits and deferred costs.

Explanation:

While many people run hysterically on the streets begging politicians to act in the face of the threat of climate change, many people, young and old, may be demanding the same type of action, but to fix the unfunded passive systems.

By extending eligibility and increasing the benefits of a pay-per-use system while at the same time having fewer children to finance it, previous generations have left a fearsome financial obligation. Either taxes will increase dramatically for tomorrow's workers, lowering their standard of living, or benefits will fall for tomorrow's retirees, lowering their standard of living. A group will feel very angry.

These problems were anticipated even when politicians were raising payments, but each elected government simply kicked the can and allowed things to continue as usual.

 Social security systems and pension funds are actuarially not funded systems. There is no obligation for this generation to have children at the same rate as previous generations. Therefore, when those born in the 1950s reach retirement age in the next century, their stipends will feel more like a burden due to the ranks of non-active members of society that will depend on their contributions to live.

vladimir2022 [97]

Answer:

d. an increase in the quantity of bicycles demanded.

For this question, the law of demand applies.  

According to the law of demand, when the price of the good increases the quantity demanded of that good would be decreased keeping other things constant and when the price of the good decreases the quantity demanded of that good would be increased keeping other things constant.

It reflects the inverse relationship between the price and the quantity demanded of the good.

lions [1.4K]

Answer:

Aristotle argues that what differentiates human beings from other animals is the human reason.

Explanation:

"Good life" can be seen as the one in which a person understand and exercise their rational faculties. The word "good" can be used to show moral approval. Therefore, for someone to be called good, they must have possessed and practiced many important virtues and not pursuing their own pleasure all the time.

According to Aristotle, happiness consists in achieving all the goods like health, wealth, knowledge, friends etc throughout a lifetime. He sees happiness as the central purpose of human life.

Aristotle believes that the highest good is a solitary nucleus which all other goods are acted upon and this highest good is happiness.
