Answer:

The economic surplus will decrease by $2.20

Explanation:

$81.40 and $79.20 are <em>marginal </em>cost and benefit, which are the changes to total costs and total benefits due to producing and consuming one additional barrel of oil.

They can be used to calculate <em>change </em>to economic surplus, which is the change to the net economic value received by society, which is given by:

marginal benefit - marginal cost = $79.20 - $81.40 = - $2.20

PLZZZ HELP, i have limited time and i will give brainliest.
Schach [20]

Answer:

Q1. Selena will have earned <em><u>$ 25.00</u></em> in interest by the end of the year.

Since interest paid is 5% in simple interest, we can calculate that by using the formula:

SI = (P)(r)(t)

SI = (500)(0.05)(1) = 25

Q2. The balance in Suki's account at the end of two years will be <em><u>$866.2854.</u></em>

This means that she will have earned <em><u>$66.2854</u></em>  in interest.

Since interest is compounded quarterly, Suki will receive interest for 8 periods. The formula for compound interest with more than one interest period per year is:

\mathbf{A = (P)*(1+(\frac{i}{m})^{n*m}}

where

A is the amount at the end of the period

P is the principal

i is interest rate per annum

m is number of compounding periods in a year

n is number of years

Substituting the values in the formula above we get,

A = (800)*(1+(\frac{0.04}{4})^{2*4}

A = (800)*(1.01)^{8}

\mathbf{A = 866.2853645}

Now, we calculate the interest earned by doing \mathbf{CI = A -P}.

\mathbf{CI = 866.2854- 800 = 66.2854}

Q3. It will take <em><u>18 years</u></em> for the money to double to $100.

Since we need to use the rule of 72, we'll divide 72 by the interest rate to determine the number of years needed to double the investment's value.

So, the number of years is \frac{72}{4} =18.

Tom takes a loan of $60,000 at 4% annual interest to purchase a property worth $100,000. He earns an annual income of $10,000 af
guajiro [1.7K]

Based on the given data, Tom's leveraged return on the real estate investment is 13.3%.

A leveraged return means an investment return on equity partially financed with debt.

Investment in property = $100,000 - $60,000

Investment in property = $40,000

Interest = $60,000 * 4%

Interest = $2,400

Net income after tax = ($10,000 - $2,400) * (1 - 30%)

Net income after tax = $7,600 * 0.70

Net income after tax = $5,320

Leveraged return = Net income after tax / Investment in property * 100

Leveraged return = $5,320 / $40,000 * 100

Leveraged return = 0.133 * 100

Leveraged return = 13.3%

Hence, Tom's leveraged return on the real estate investment is 13.3%.
