Why does a campground at a national park not necessarily count as a public good?

2 answers:

6 0

I'm assuming here that "a public good" refers to a public commodity not owned by a private institution. For this question a campground does not necessarily have to be considered a public good because it can be bought. Campgrounds in national parks can actually be owned by private institutions even though the national park itself is a public good. This means that the national park is a public good but once you step into the campsite, you will be in the property of the owner.

It does not necessarily count as public good because a camp ground is not a good method of showing importance of the national park as the park is open to the public and should be respected in any means possible as they are open to the public and having it as a campground is not a way of showing its importance.

Answer:

Explanation:

An import restriction as the term implies is done to limit the amount of a certain good that is imported into the country. Usually this is done to protect the domestic producers of the good in question who are not be as efficient as the country being imported from and so charge higher prices.

The people in the economy will experience a net loss in welfare because they will now be paying higher prices and as well will be transferring some of their income to their government because import restrictions like tariffs will see their costs passed on to the consumer.

Answer:

Explanation:

a.)

This is an annuity type of question. Using a financial calculator, input the following to find the PV of the Ordinary annuity;

Total duration; N = 15*12 = 300

Monthly rate; I/Y = 7.2%/12 = 0.6%

One-time future cashflow; FV = 0

Recurring monthly payment; PMT = 150

then compute present value; CPT PV = $20,845.24

b.) This is an <em>Annuity Due </em>type of question since the recurring monthly payment occur at the beginning of the month.

Using a financial calculator, change the mode to "BEG" and input the following to find the PV of the annuity due;

Total duration; N = 15*12 = 300

Monthly rate; I/Y = 7.2%/12 = 0.6%

One-time future cashflow; FV = 0

Recurring monthly payment; PMT = 150

then compute present value; CPT PV = $20,970.31

You purchase a twenty year zero coupon bond with a yield of 5%. One year later you sell the bond at a yield of 4%. What is your

astraxan [27]

Answer:

25.94%

Explanation:

Assume, Face value of bond =$1000

Purchase price of twenty year zero coupon bond = 1000/((1+i)^N) . Where, yield = 5% =0.05 , N= number of years to maturity =20

==> Purchase Price = 1000/(1.05^20)

Purchase Price = 1000/2.65329770514

Purchase Price = $376.89

Selling Price after one year: 1000/(1+I)^19. Where i=yield=4%=0.04, N=19

Selling Price=1000/(1.04^19)

Selling Price = 1000/2.10684917599

Selling Price = $474.64

Rate of Return = (474.64/376.89) - 1

Rate of Return = 1.25935949481281 - 1

Rate of Return = 0.2594

Rate of Return = 25.94%
