Answer:

               \large\boxed{\large\boxed{\$ 4,523.81}}

Explanation:

The <em>price of a consol</em> (a type of debt issued by the goverment) is the present value of all the future payments.

A constant <em>payment forever</em> is known as a constant annuity to perpetuity.

The price of a constant perpetuity is calculated with the formula:

      Price=C/r

Where C is the constant payment, equal to $190 (annually forever), and r is the opportunity cost, which you assume to be equal to the market interest rate: r = 4.2%.

Substituting:

        Price=\$ 190/(4.2\%) =\$ 190/0.042=\$ 4,523.81

Answer:

Yes, that sounds about right

Explanation:

Till the age of retirement, a person's mostly expenses are finished, like growing his children, educate them, get them married, etc. He is left with only few expenses like running the house or meet his personal expenses. So the Social Security and some regular savings would be enough for him to lead a respectable life in the society. Also, his children are settled enough to fulfill his expenses at this point of his life. So there is no necessity to invest in a retirement plan that pays you 80% of your regular income. Social security and savings would be enough for the person.

The two characteristics of a competitive market are 1) many buyers and sellers in the market and 2) the goods offered by the var
FrozenT [24]

Answer:

1. True

2. False

Explanation:

A perfect competition is characterised by many buyers and sellers of homogenous goods and services. Market prices are set by the forces of demand and supply. There are no barriers to entry or exit of firms into the industry.

In the long run, firms earn zero economic profit. If in the short run firms are earning economic profit, in the long run firms would enter into the industry. This would drive economic profit to zero.

Also, if in the short run, firms are earning economic loss, in the long run, firms would exit the industry until economic profit falls to zero.

An example of perfect competition is the market for farm produce.

I hope my answer helps you
