What would happen if the European Union put a quota on American jeans and only allowed 4,000, pairs of jeans to be imported?
brilliants [131]

If the European Union put a quota on American jeans only allowing a small portion to be imported the demand for the jeans would rise even though the supply would not follow that.  When there is a small limit on something that consumers want, the price usually goes up because they know they will sell the items regardless and in this case that may happen. The price of jeans will rise, the demand will rise, but the supply will not.

Most businesses replace their computers every two to three years. Assume that a computer costs $2,000 and that it fully deprecia
sineoko [7]

Answer:

$2000=Z/(1+i)^1+Z/(1+i)^2+Z/(1+i)^3

Explanation:

let Z be the annual minimum cash flow

The internal rate of approach can be used here, in other words, the rate of return at which capital outlay of $2000 is equal present values of future cash flows

In year 1, present value of cash =X/discount factor

year 1 PV=Z/(1+i)^1

year 2 PV=Z/(1+i)^2

year 3=Z/(1+i)^3

Hence,

$2000=Z/(1+i)^1+Z/(1+i)^2+Z/(1+i)^3

Solving for Z above would give the minimum annual cash flow that must be generated for the computer to worth the purchase

Assuming i, interest rate on financing is 12%=0.12

Z can be computed thus:

$2000=Z(1/(1+0.12)^1+(1/(1+0.12)^2+(1+0.12)^3)

$2000=Z*3.09497902

Z=$2000/3.09497902

Z=$646.21
