gavmur [86]

Answer:

Kangaroo Auto offers the better deal

If the I go for Kangaroo Autos, then I will save $257.69 in today's term

Explanation:

Here we need to compare the present value of the two options;

Present value is the worth today of an amount or series of amount payable or receivable in the future period.

Where a series of equal amount is receivable or payable in the future it is called an annuity.

One of the payment options includes an annuity. Therefore, we need to work out the present value of the annuity. This is done using the following formula:

Present Value = A ×( 1 - (1+r)^(-n))/r

where A = equal cash flow, r- rate per period, n - no. of periods

A = 300, r- rate per month - 12%/12 = 1% , n= 30

PV = 300 ×(1- (1+0.01)^(-30))/0.01

    = 300 × 25.877

     =7,742.31

Now we can work out he cost of each option  and comapare them in today's Dollar:

Option 1 : Kangaroo Autos

Total cost of option 1 = deposit + PV of annuity

                                  =   1000 + 7,742.31

              cost              = 8,742.31

Option 2: Turtle Motors:

Price =  Car price - Discount

        =   $10,000 - $1000

     cost    =   $9,000

Kangaroo Auto offers a better  deal.

If  I go for Kangaroo Autos, then I will save $257.69 in today's term

c) Explain ONE way in which the adoption of laissez-faire economic policies led to an increase in the share of global manufactur
Alinara [238K]

Answer:

Laissez faire economics advocates for less government regulation and intervention. Extreme laissez faire views dislike all types of taxes and controls.  Of course something like that will never happen, but different economic policies favor certain laissez faire views.

For example, during the 1800s, many politicians believed that business owners were entitled to exploit their workers in order to make higher profits. As a result of these types of policies, 14 or 16 hour long labor days were common, no safety regulations existed, and the wages were not high. Since governments didn't regulate labor markets, businesses were able to benefit form this and increase total production.
