Answer:

$4,900 (From simple interest method)

Explanation:

Given:

Amount invested (p) = $4,000

Interest rate for simple interest (r) = 4.5% = 4.5/100 = 0.045

Interest rate for Compound interest (i) = 4%

Number of year (t) = 5

Computation of amount from simple interest method:

Amount = p(1+rt)

Amount = $4,000[1+(0.045 × 5)]

Amount = $4,000[1+0.225]

Amount = $4,000[1.225]

Amount (from simple interest method) = $4,900

Computation of amount from compound interest method:

Amount = p(1+i)^t\\\\Amount = 4,000(1+0.04)^5\\\\Amount = 4,000(1.04)^5\\\\Amount = 4,000(1.2166529)\\\\Amount = 4,866.616\\\\

Therefore, Amount from simple interest method is higher .

kondaur [170]

Answer:

£718,607

Explanation:

Annuities are investment opportunities that require an initial settlement  and gives  a series of returns of a fixed amount for a specific number of periods.

In simple terms, the question requires us to calculate the amount to be paid today (Present Value) of an annuity that pays £80,000 per year for the next 10 years.

To establish the [Present Value of the Annuity, the future Cash Flows must be discounted to the Present Value using the appropriate discount rate. In our case, we will use the annual effective interest rate of 2%.

Present Value = PMT × [ 1 - 1/(1+r)^n ÷ r ]

Where,

PMT = £80,000

n = 10

r = 2%

Therefore,

Present Value = £80,000 × [ 1 - 1 / (1.02) ^ 10 ÷ 0.02]

                         = £718,606.80 or £718,607

Conclusion :

She be willing to pay £718,607 today for the annuity.

Based on the circular flow of business, what are two ways that households impact the economy? A) They provide wages and products
bonufazy [111]

Answer:

D. They provide the four factors of production and spend money on the product market.

Explanation:

In circular flow of business, all the players namely; household, government agencies, firms and others in an economy have an important role to play.

The level of a nation's employment status, price level and income are determined as a result of various interactions among firms/businesses, household and government agencies.

When a unit spends money, it becomes the income of another unit. Household goes to market with their monies to buy goods and services, while firms goes to the factor market to buy the resources, which are owned by the household, to produce the goods and services.

As for the government agencies, they collect taxes on the goods and services produced and on income(both household and firms) . Government also buys goods and services inorder to produce specialize goods.

Through these interactions, money and business changes hands from the household to the firm and then to government. It goes back to the household and the list goes on and on.

When both supply and demand decrease, the equilibrium price: a. increases and equilibrium quantity increases. b. is indeterminat
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

The answer is e.

Explanation:

First you draw a supply and demand graph. When you move to the left on the graph, you decrease and when you move to the right, you increase. Being that both supply and demand will decrease, you will end up in the left triangle of the original graph. In that area, you can't really decide the price because it's not clear if it increases or decreases. It is clear that the quantity decreases. So (e) is the answer.
