MatroZZZ [7]3 years ago

It is likely that the suppliers will provide a fewer quantities of goods at a higher price, in order to maximize their profits. The socially optimal level of output will not be produced in the market.  

The resources will not be efficiently allocated and deadweight loss will exist.

eduard

The answer is during the “1930s”. During the 1930s, the federal government has anticipated a permanent, resilient part in the economy, backing to its firmness and effectiveness.

At the end of each of the past 14 years, Vanessa deposited $450 in an account that earned 8 percent compounded annually. (a) How
Travka [436]

Answer:

a) = $10,896.71

b) = $11,768.45

Explanation:

The question is divided into 2 parts

Part a) Amount in the account today

The formula to use is as follows:

FV of Annuity= P(1+r)∧n - 1)/r

P= Periodic Payment = $450

r= Rate of each period= 8%

n= the number of periods= 14

The account today is as follows:

FV = 450 x (1+0.08)∧14-1]/0.08

= $10,896.71

Part b) The formula to use is as follows:

FV = Future value = (1+r) * P * [ (1+r)n -1] / r

P= Periodic Payment = $450

r= Rate of each period= 8%

n= the number of periods= 14

= Fv= (1+0.08) * 450 * [ (1+0.08)^14 - 1] / 0.08

= $11,768.45
