A longer-term bond carries greater risk that higher inflation could reduce the value of payments, as well as greater risk that higher overall interest rates could cause the bond's price to fall. Bonds with maturities of one to 10 years are sufficient for most long-term investors.

Answer:

the supply will decrease causing an increase in pricing on mattresses.

Explanation:

Monopolism occurs when only one supplier produces a product with no other competitors. They control the supply and price of commodities.

Since other mattresse sellers have closed shop, the final seller will have monopoly of the mattresse market.

In order to maximise revenue he will reduce supply and increase prices so that customers will have no choice but to buy the scarce mattresse at higher price.

A University of Iowa basketball standout is offered a choice of contracts by the New York Liberty.

Ratling [72]

Answer: The lowest interest rate at which the present value of the second contract exceeds that of the first is a. 7 percent.

Explanation:

Calculating present values is a useful way to compare cases where money is to be received in the future. The higher the present value (when comparing cases where you get money), the better. To calculate it, we make use of the next formula:

$PV=\frac{C}{(1+r)^{n}}$

Where PV: Present value,

C: Cash flow at a given period,

r: Interest rate, and

n: Number of periods that will have passed (in this case, we are talking about years).

Now, since we are getting money twice in each case (the first payment one year from today, and the final payment two years from today), we can restructure our present value formula to include these two payments. We will get something like this:

$PV=\frac{C_1}{1+r}+\frac{C_2}{(1+r)^{2}}$

Notice how each fraction represents one of the payments received, with one having an 'n' of 1 year, and the other one having an 'n' of 2 years. C₁ and C₂ represent the first and the second payment, respectively.

Now that we have our completed formula, let's review each contract's present value (PV) with the lowest interest rate (7%), just to see how it turns out. Remember that 7% equals 0.07 in any formula:

Contract A) This one gives her $100,000 one year from today and $100,000 two years from today.

$PV_{A,0.07}=\frac{100000}{1+0.07}+\frac{100000}{(1+0.07)^{2}}\\PV_{A,0.07}=93457.944+87343.873\\PV_{A,0.07}=180801.817dollars$

So Contract A's present value at 7% interest rate would be equal to $180801.817.

Contract B) The second one gives her $132,000 one year from today and $66,000 two years from today.

$PV_{B,0.07}=\frac{132000}{1+0.07}+\frac{66000}{(1+0.07)^{2}}\\PV_{B,0.07}=123364.486+57646.956\\PV_{B,0.07}=181011.442dollars$

So Contract B's present value at 7% interest rate would be equal to $181011.442, which exceeds that of Contract A.

Since among our options of interest rates, 7 percent is the lowest one, and, with this taken into account, the present value of the second contract (Contract B) exceeded that of the first (Contract A), the answer is a. 7 percent.
