Hybrid cars are touted as a "green" alternative; however,the financial aspects of hybrid ownership are not as clear. Consider th

lord [1]

Answer:

a)

the hybrid model initially costs $5,200 more than the regular model, plus you have another $330 in extra ownership costs per year. If you plan to own the hybrid car for 6 years, then you must recoup $5,200 / 6 = $866.67 + $330 = $1,196.67 per year.

the cost of driving 1 mile with the hybrid car = $3.60 / 27 = $0.1333

the cost of driving 1 mile with the regular model = $3.60 / 19 = $0.1895

you will save = $0.0562 per mile driven

you would need to drive $1,196.67 / $0.0562 = 21,293 miles per year to make the decision worth it

b)

if you only drive 15,500 miles per year, then you would need to save $0.0772 per mile

that would only result if gasoline's price was:

x/19 - x/27 = 0.0772

0.0526x - 0.037x = 0.0772

0.0156x = 0.0772

x = 0.0772 / 0.0156 = $4.95 per gallon

c)

you must first determine the present value of all additional expenses related to purchasing a hybrid:

year cash flow

0 -5,200

1 -330

2 -330

3 -330

4 -330

5 -330

6 -330

Using a financial calculator, the PV = -$6,637.24

now we must use an annuity formula to determine the annual savings required using a 10% discount rate and 6 periods:

annual savings = $6,637.24 / 4.3553 (PV annuity factor, 10%, 6 periods) = $1,523.95

so you must save $1,523.95 per year and that is equivalent to $1,523.95 / $0.0562 = 27,116.47 = 27,116 miles

d)

you also need to save $1,523.95, but you only drive 15,500 miles, so the savings per mile = $0.0983

x/19 - x/27 = 0.0983

0.0526x - 0.037x = 0.0983

0.0156x = 0.0983

x = 0.0983 / 0.0156 = $6.30 per gallon

The transactions demand for money sometimes directly and sometimes inversely with nominal Gross Domestic Product (GDP). varies i

Lunna [17]

Answer: Varies directly with nominal Gross Domestic Product (GDP).

Explanation:

The Transactions Demand for money refers to money that is kept by individuals, companies and even the Government to be able to purchase goods and services.

It varies directly with Nominal GDP because Nominal GDP includes inflation.

If Nominal GDP were to rise for instance, it would mean that Inflation has risen as well which means that people would need more money to be able to buy the now more expensive goods and services. This is an increase in Transactions Demand for money.

The reverse holds true signifying indeed that Transactions Demand for money varies with Nominal GDP.
