<span>After 4 years of college, it would be better to not go to college. Since his high school job was paying $25,000 a year ($100,000 in four years), and going to college cost $20,500 ($82,000 in four years), after those four years he would still have over $18,000 to spend at his leisure, or $4,500 every year. This leftover money can be used to find a place for rent for at least $375.</span>
Answer:
the payback period = 4.86 years
Explanation:
Seattle's cash flows are as following:
Year Cash flow Accumulated cash flows
0 -$150,000 -$150,000
1 $30,000 -$120,000
2 $30,000 -$90,000
3 $30,000 -$60,000
4 $30,000 -$30,000
5 $35,000 $5,000
6 $35,000 $40,000
etc.
The payback period is between year 4 and 5:
- 4 years + ($30,000 / $35,000) = 4.86 years or
- year 4 + [($30,000 / $35,000) x 365 days] = 4 years and 313 days
Answer: Maximize joint welfare in respective or the right owner.

Explanation:
The quantity theory of money states that there is a proportional relationship between the money supply and the general level of prices. An increase in the money supply will increase the general level of prices in the same proportion (called inflation).
The Fisher equation measures the relationship between nominal and real interest rates. Real interest rate = nominal interest rate - inflation rate.
So if inflation increases, the nominal inflation rate will increase to keep the real interest rate the same.
