Answer:
Imagine you have just flicked a lighter. If you don’t see the flame, you will naturally try a second time. If after the second attempt it does not strike a flame, you will repeat your action again and again until it does. Eventually, you’ll see the flame and you’ll know that your lighter works. But what if it doesn’t? How long are you going to flick the lighter until you decide to give up?
Our everyday life is full of such decision dilemmas and uncertainty. We constantly have to choose between options, whether we make the most ordinary decisions – should I continue flicking this lighter? – or life-changing choices – should I leave this relationship? We can either keep on doing what we are already used to do, or risk unexplored options that could turn out much more valuable.
Some people are naturally inclined to take more chances, while others prefer to hold on to what they know best. Yet being curious and explorative is fundamental for humans and animals to find out how best to harvest resources such as water, food or money. While looking at the Belém Tower – a symbol of Portugal’s great maritime discoveries – from my office window, I often wonder what drives people to explore the unknown and what goes on in their brains when weighing pros and cons for trying something new. To answer these questions, together with Dr. Zachary Mainen and his team of neuroscientists, we investigate how the brain deals with uncertainty when making decisions.
Explanation:
It is well known that the decision-making process results from communication between the prefrontal cortex (working memory) and hippocampus (long-term memory). However, there are other regions of the brain that play essential roles in making decisions, but their exact mechanisms of action still are unknown.
Answer:
The correct answer is B.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Initial investment= $270,000
Cash flow= $60,000
Number of years= 5
Discount rate= 12%
<u>To calculate the net present value (NPV), we need to use the following formula:</u>
NPV= -Io + ∑[Cf/(1+i)^n]
∑[Cf/(1+i)^n]:
Cf1= 60,000/1.12= 53,571.43
Cf2= 60,000/1.12^2= 47,831.63
.....
Cf5= 60,000/1.12^5= 34,045.61
∑[Cf/(1+i)^n]= 216,286.57
<u>Now, the NPV:</u>
NPV= -270,000 + 216,286.57
NPV= -53,713.43
Answer:
A).price will fall and quantity will fall
Explanation:
A reduction in demand causes the demand curve to shift to the left. The demand for a good may decrease due to a fall in incomes( assuming a normal good), a rise in the price of a substitute commodity, increases in the price of a compliment product, or changes in customer preferences.
Reduction in demand means a product is less desirable in the market. Its price will fall as sellers try to woe buyers to purchase it. The quantity supplied will also decline as few customers will be willing to buy the product.
What will happen is that YOUR INSURANCE COMPANY WILL NOT PAY FOR THE DAMAGES.
Liability car insurance covers damages and injuries to third party's car only, it does not cover damages to the insurance owner's car. Comprehensive car insurance only cover damages done to one's car as a result of theft, fire, natural disaster, vandalism and other such acts, but does not cover damages that occur as a result of collision.
