Answer:

B. The price is likely to decrease because supply has increased.

Explanation:

A new source of lumber represents increased supply. According to the laws of supply and demand, an increase in supply leads to a decrease in prices.

The current market price is the equilibrium price. It is the price that buyers are willing to pay for the quantity that suppliers are offering in the market. In other words, It is the meeting point between the supply and demand-sides in the market. A new source of lumber will increase the supply side, resulting in the curve shift in the supply curve. A new equilibrium with a lower price will be formed in the market.

11111nata11111 [884]

Answer: $135

Explanation:

First find the future value of the proceeds.

= 10,000 * (1 + 5%)⁷

= $14,071

The monthly payments are equal so X is an annuity and as the payment is made immediately, this is an Annuity due.

Convert the interest rate into monthly figure:

= 3%/12

= 0.25%

Present value of annuity = Annuity * (( 1 - (1 + r)^-n ) / r) * (1 + r)

14,071 = Annuity * ((1 - (1 + 0.25%) ⁻¹²⁰) / 0.25%) * (1 + 0.25%)

14,071 = Annuity * 103.82

Annuity = 14,071 / 103.82

= $135.53

= $135

Answer:

both companies should invest because the NPV of both companies are positive

Explanation:

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

NPV can be calculated using a financial calculator

Only projects with a positive NPV should be accepted. A project with a negative NPV should not be chosen because it isn't profitable.

When choosing between positive NPV projects, choose the project with the highest NPV first because it is the most profitable.

Cash flow in year 0 = - $8.4 million

Cash flow in year 1-7 = $2.2 million

NPV of Lester with I of 15.8% = 0.54 million

NPV of Med Inc with I of 13.7% = 1.12 million

To find the NPV using a financial calculator:

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.

Suppose gdp in this country is $800 million. enter the amount for government purchases. national income account value (millions

Bess [88]

Answer:

Therefore government purchases is $300 million

Explanation:

In this case, GDP is the sum of consumption, investment, and government purchases. To calculate the value of consumption we use the formula:

CC + II + GG = Y

GG = Y - CC - II

Where:

government purchases = GG

taxes minus transfer payments (TT) = $260 million

consumption (CC) = $300 million

investment (II) = $300 million

Y = country GDP = $800 million

GG = Y - CC - II

Substituting:

GG = $800 million - $300 milllion - $300 million

GG = $200 million

Therefore government purchases is $300 million
