Answer: A - nominal wages are slow to adjust to changing economic conditions 

Explanation:

In the short run, the costs of many of the factors used in the production process are fixed.  For example labours wage is fixed for a number of years because of labour contracts. Also the raw materials used in the production process have long term agreements that fix their prices.

As a result of factors of production been fixed in the short run, when general price level rises and the cost of production remains constant, profit also rises.

Firms take advantage of this rise in price and increase production and the quantity of aggregate supply increases. This is why the short run aggregate supply curve is upward sloping.

You can buy a car that is advertised for $24,600 on the following terms: (a) pay $24,600 and receive a $4,600 rebate from the ma
Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

A. $20,000

B. $17,234.18

C.Option (b)

Explanation:

Obviously, the option with lower Present Value would be the best option to buy the car. The Present Value of the options can find out as following

REQUIREMENT A

Price of car = $24,600  

Rebate = $4,600

Present value of the payments for option  = Price of the car – rebate  

Present value of the payments for option (a) = $24,600 - $4,600

Present value of the payments for option = $20,000

REQUIREMENT B

We can use the following Present Value of an Annuity formula to calculate the present value of the payments

PV of the payments for option  = PMT * [1-(1+i) ^-n)]/i

PV of the payments for option (b) (PV) =?

Monthly payment PMT =$410 per month

Number of payments n = 5 years *12 months = 60

Monthly interest rate i=1.25% per month or 0.0125

PV of the payments for option  = $410 x [1- (1+0.0125) ^-60]/0.0125

PV of the payments for option  = $17,234.18

REQUIREMENT C.

Which is the better deal?

Option (b) is better deal as the present value of payments ($17,234.18) is less than Present value of the payments for option (a); $20,000.

Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

$63.56 million

Explanation:

We are to find the present value of the cash flows in order to determine the value of the contract today

Present value is the sum of discounted cash flows

Present value can be calculated using a financial calculator

Cash flow in year 0 = $4.00 million  

Cash flow in year 1  = $12.09 million

Cash flow in year 2  = $13.36 million

Cash flow in year 3  = $14.17 million

Cash flow in year 4  = $15.26 million

Cash flow in year 5  = $16.43 million

I = 6%

Present value = $63.56 million

To find the PV 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.  

3. Press compute
