Answer:

  • <u>$38,415.88</u>

Explanation:

<u>1. Calculate the value of the annuity one year from now.</u>

The following equation is used to calculate the present value of an annuity that starts payments one year from now:

      PV=C\times \bigg[\dfrac{1}{r}-\dfrac{1}{r(1+r)^t}\bigg]

Where:

  • PV is the present value
  • C is the constant annuity: $8,000
  • r is the interest rate: 13% = 0.13
  • t is the number of years: 10

Substitute and compute:

        PV=\$8,000\times \bigg[\dfrac{1}{0.13}-\dfrac{1}{0.13(1+0.13)^{10}}\bigg]

        PV=\$43,409.95

Notice that, since the annuity will begin the payment two years from today, that value is the value in a year. Then, to find the value today you must discount the calculated value one year, at the same rate.

<u>2. Value today</u>

      V_{today}=\dfrac{PV}{(1+r)}=\dfrac{\$43,409.95}{1.13}=\$38,415.88

Answer:

  • The budget deficit will decrease
  • The curve it changes is the loanable funds curve
  • The loanable funds curve shifts to the right
  • The equilibrium interest rate falls

Explanation:

The reduction in transfer payments by Government will cause the budget deficit of the Government to decrease and also the the decrease in the Budget deficit will lead to the availability of loanable funds thereby causing the loanable funds curve to shift to the right.

With the availability of loanable funds the equilibrium interest rate will fall below its usual equilibrium level.and the Government can reduces transfer payments to achieve all of this.
