Answer: the correct answer is B. The real interest rate needs to be high enough so that individuals can expect their savings to have greater purchasing power in the future than in the present.

Explanation:

Sensible individuals are always looking for a profit in their savings but if inflation rate is high the real interest rate might be very low or simply disappear. Loan institutions offer higher interest rates taking into account inflation rate so individuals have an incentive to save.

Marat540 [252]

Answer:

(a) $43,656.90

(b) $33,698.70

(c) $43,967.70

Explanation:

Future Value of annuity shall be:

(a) 10% for 8 years, Semiannually compounded

In this since the interest is compounded semiannually, the effective interest rate = 10/2 = 5%

Future Value of $1 in 8 years with 10% interest compounded semiannually = 2.0789

Value of $21,000 = $21,000 \times 2.0789 = $43,656.90

(b) 12% for 4 years, Quarterly Compounded

In this since the interest is compounded quarterly, that is 4 times in a year, effective interest rate = 12/4 = 3%

Future value of $1 in 4 years with 12% interest compounded quarterly = 1.6047

Value of $21,000 = $21,000 \times 1.6047 = $33,698.70

(c) 36% 25 months, Monthly

In this since the interest is compounded monthly effective interest rate = 36/12 = 3%

Therefore, Future Value of $1 in 25 months @36% compounded monthly = $2.0937

Value of $21,000 = $21,000 \times 2.0937 = $43,967.70

Alecsey [184]

Answer:

5,500 units

Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

Given that

Need to sell the units in a month = 4,000 units

Beginning inventory = 1,000 units

Desired ending inventory = 2,500 units

So, by considering the above information, the units to be produced is

= Desired ending inventory + need to sell the units in a month - beginning inventory

= 2,500 units + 4,000 units - 1,000 units

= 5,500 units
