Answer:

The answer is: Both parties could win, depending if there were other conditions established for the auction.

Explanation:

Usually when an auction is carried out there are conditions established beforehand by the auctioneer that must be fulfilled in order for the sale to be completed.

In this case, since we don´t know what other conditions the town of Sanford included in the auction, if any other condition at all, we can´t conclude which party could win the lawsuit. For instance if a reserve was required but Arthur and Arlene didn´t do the reserve deposit, then they will obviously lose. The same happens with other established conditions like a minimum price set, etc. But if no other condition established, then Arthur and Arlene could win.

The amount of money $20,000 is loaned for a period of time 6 years 9 months along with the simple interest $14,200 charged. dete
Naily [24]

A = P(1 + rt)

Where: A = Total Accrued Amount (principal + interest)

P = Principal Amount

I = Interest Amount

r = Rate of Interest per year in decimal; r = R/100

t = Time Period involved in months

From the question given,

A = $34, 200

P = $20,000

I= $14,200

r = ?

T = 6 years, 9 months = 81 months

<span>Substituting the original equation for r:</span>

 r = (1/t) (A/P - 1)

<span>Solving our equation:
r = (1/81)((34200/20000) - 1) = 0.00876543
r = 0.00876543
Converting r decimal to R a percentage
R = 0.00876543 * 100 = 0.8765%/month</span>

R = 0.8765% per month

<span>Calculating the annual rate
0.8765%/month × 12 months/year = 10.518%/year.

suppose that the u.s. government imposes a quota on imported textiles and restricts the quantity imported to​ 3,000 yards.  
scZoUnD [109]

The demand and supply of imported textiles are given. Initially, the price is $4.50 per yard and the quantity imported is 4,500 yards.

Now the government imposes quotas on imported textiles. That means the government restricts the quantity that must be imported to 3,000 yards. The graph is as follows:

Initially, the market is in equilibrium at point E. The price iS S4.5 per yard and the quantity

imported is 4,500 yards. After the government puts restrictions on imports, the supply

curve remains the same that is, Upward sloping till 3,000 yards are imported. After that, the supply curve becomes vertical because no more imports are possible whatever the price is. Green colored line is the new supply curve

As a result of this, the equilibrium shifts from point E to point F. The price of

imported textiles has increased to $ó per card and the quantity of import is 3,000 yards.
