Answer:

(a) GDP is a dependent variable and aggregate net investment is a independent variable. There is a positive relationship between the variables which means that an increase in the net investment will lead to increase GDP.

(b) There is a negative relationship between the variables which means that as the supply of wheat increases, as a result price of wheat falls. So, as the number of acres of wheat planted in a season  increases as a result price of wheat decline.

(c) There is a negative relationship between the variables which means that an increase in the interest rate in an economy will lead to increase the cost of borrowings and hence, net investment falls.

(d) There is a negative relationship between the variables because of the law of demand. It states that an increase in the price of a commodity will lead to reduce the quantity demanded for that commodity.

(e) There is no relationship between these variables. Both the variables are totally uncorrelated.

The net value of the payments vs. receipts in today's dollars is ($11,102).

<h3>What is the present value?</h3>

The present value of future cash flows is the current value or the value in today's dollars.  It is computed by discounting the future values at the appropriate discount rate.

The present value can be computed using the Present Value formula, an online finance calculator, or the PV factor table.

Formula

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

PV = present value

FV = future value

r = rate of return

{n} = number of periods

<h3>Data and Calculations:</h3>

Interest rate = 12%

Period     Cash flow     PV Factor     PV

Year 2     ($14,000)       0.797        -$11,158 ($14,000 x 0.797)

Year 3    ($16,000)        0.712        -$11,392 ($16,000 x 0.712)

Year 4     $18,000        0.636         $11,448 ($18,000 x 0.636)

Net present value of cash flows   -$11,102

Thus, the net value of the payments vs. receipts in today's dollars is ($11,102).

What will NOT cause a shortage?
sweet-ann [11.9K]
<h3>Answer: D) increase in prices</h3>

An increase in prices will reduce demand, and not supply. You could have an increase in prices due to a shortage, but price increases could also be from a number of other factors, one of which is demand increasing.

Meanwhile, war, scarcity and extreme weather all are possible factors of a shortage. So we can cross choices A,B,C off the list.

During December, Far West Services makes a $2,000 credit sale. The state sales tax rate is 6% and the local sales tax rate is 2.
Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

Total sales tax payable:170, sales :2000

Explanation:

Sale price x sales tax rate = sales tax payable

2000 x .085 (6%+2.5%) = 170

it doesn’t say so I’m assuming that the 2,000 credit sale does NOT include the sales tax due.

Mayra offers to sell her home to Hanna for "about $100,000 plus closing costs" and has no other comments, provisions, or discuss
Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

The most probable result is that the court will declare the contract invalid and non-binding because the purchase price and important terms regarding the consideration involve are too vague and indefinite.

In order for a contract to be considered valid and binding, consideration must exist and the more precise the terms, the better. Consideration is something of value that both parties exchange. In this case it is a house vs. money, but the price is not specified.
