Answer:

1000

Explanation:

1000, that is the point where it reaches maximum utility, if it has more clients it incurs a higher marginal cost and therefore its utility would be lower, in microeconomics the utility function is a quadratic function, this means that it has a maximum point and from there the income continues to increase but the utility decreases due to the marginal cost, that is to say the cost of an additional unit.

Answer:

<em>a. Housing prices are down. </em>

<em>c. Less demand means more options for buyers.</em>

<em> d. Less demand means less competition with other buyers.</em>

Ket [755]

Answer:

$13,241

Explanation:

From the data we were given in the question:

future value = fv = $1,500,000

time = t  = 30 year

rate = r = 8%

We are required to find out How much does he need to invest to achieve his goal

solution

future value = principal ( 1+ rate)^(t-1)  / rate

1500000 = principal (1 + .08)^(30-1)/ 0.08

we make principal, p, subject of the formula.

principal = 1500000  / ( (1 + .08)^(30-1)/ 0.08 )

Principal = 1,500,000 / 113.2832

principal =  13241.15

so Dan needs to invest $13241

Lana71 [14]

Answer:

In order to determine the Macauly we must complete the following table:

period      cash flow       PV of             Period x            

                                       cash flow      PV cash flow          

1                  $3                 $2.91                 $2.91

2                 $3                 $2.83                $5.66

3                 $3                 $2.75                 $8.25

4                 $3                 $2.67               $10.68

5                 $3                 $2.59               $12.95

6                 $3                 $2.51                $15.06

7                 $3                 $2.44                $17.08

8              $103                $81.31              $650.48

Total                                                        $723.07

Macauly duration = $723.07 / $87 = 8.31

Modified Macauly duration = Macauly duration / (1 + r) = 8.31 / 1.03 = 8.07
