Economic models often vary greatly in assumptions and simplifications.
Explanation:
Most models in Classical Economics are based on a lot of generalizations and simplifications, that intend to model the behavior of the situations of the real world but often fail to encompass all the intricacies and complications that even most straightforward situations present. These simplifications help the Economists figure out the mathematical laws that are governing the real world economic systems. Therefore making the economic modeling a simpler process.
Classic economics implies three basic assumptions:
1- People behave rationally in any situation.
2- Firms and individual want to maximize profit and utility
3- People act independently based on available information.
Answer: $1091.61
Explanation:
From the question, we are told that fifteen years ago, Mr. Fairhold paid $50,000 for a single-premium annuity contract and that this year, he began receiving a $1,300 monthly payment that will continue for his life and based on his age, he can expect to receive $312,000. The amount of each monthly payment is taxable income to Mr. Fairhold goes thus:
Based on the question, Mr Fairhold will have a tax free return of the $50,000 paid. The exclusion ratio will be the investment divided by the expected return. This will be:
= $50,000/$312,000
= 0.1603
Since he received monthly payment of $1,300 and exclusion ratio is 0.1603, the tax free return on investment will be:
= $1,300 × 0.1603
= $208.39
Taxable annuity payment will now be:
= $1300 - $208.39
= $1091.61
