Answer:

Loss in purchasing power =$(96.67)

Explanation:

To determine the change in purchasing power, we will compare the value of the IRA after 3 years to its purchasing power in term the prices there years ago.

The value of 5,500 in 3 years time = 5,500 × 1.012^3 = 5700.385

The purchasing power of 57,000.38 in term's of the price 3 years ago

=5700.385504 × 1/(1.018^3)

= $5403.32

Change in purchasing power =  $5403.32 -  $5,500= $(96.67)

Loss in purchasing power =$(96.67)

The type of expenditure gap that's illustrated in Kittyville's economy is a recessionary expenditure.

<h3>What is expenditure gap?</h3>

It should be noted that an expenditure gap is when the demand for goods and services is more than the production.

In order to correct the gap, the economy hired the economist who suggested that there should be an increase in government spending and decrease in taxation.

Alex787 [66]

Answer:

So project two is better because it will increase the wealth of Chandler Tire by $ 18,598.33  more than Project 1

Explanation:

<em>To determine which project to be selected, we will compute the  present value (PV) of the two projects and select the  one with a higher PV.</em>

Present value is the today worth of the future cash inflows from a project. The higher the present value the more wealth is been created. So a project with a higher PV is better if two are been compared.

So when comparing two projects, the one with a higher PV is better.

<em>PV of Poject 1 </em>

PV = 52,000 × 1-(1.015)^(-6)

$196,793.10

<em>PV of Project 2</em>

PV = 48,000 × 1- (1.015)^(-8)

$215,391.43

So project two is better because it will increase the wealth of Chandler Tire by $ 18,598.33  more than Project 1
