Let us see it from a cost-efficiency point of view. We have that every unit of the first selles costs 40$. But the total cost might be higher, since there is a chance for defect. On average, on 3% of the cases the defect will happen and it will cost him 500$. Hence, on average, a fence unit from producer a costs 40$ and has a repair cost of 3%*500$=15$. The total thus is 55$. For the second provider of fences, the standard cost is 50$. Similarly, the average repair cost is 0,5%*500$=2,5$. Hence, the total cost per unit is 52,5$ (total cost=upfront payment+repair costs). We see thus that the lady should win the bid; even if you pay more upfront, the difference in durability makes up the cost difference.
The formula for exponential growth rate is:
A = Ao e^(k t)
where A is the final standard of living, Ao is the
initial, k is the growth rate constant in decimal = 0.08, t is time elapsed
So we will find t at A/Ao = 2
A/Ao = e^(k t)
2 = e^( 0.08 t)
t = 8.66 ~ since more than therefore 9
So by the time they reached age 29
Answer:
Final value= $242,726.24
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
The U.S. stock market has returned an average of about 9% per year since 1900.
This return works out to a real return (i.e., adjusted for inflation) of approximately 6% per year.
If you invest $100,000 and you earn 6% a year on it for 30 years.
We know inflation is 3% (average), so our real interest rate is approximately 3%.
We need the final value formula:
FV= PV*(1+i)^n
FV= 100000*(1.03)^30= $242,726.24
Answer:
$49,000
Explanation:
Donna's net worth is the total value of her assets minus the total value of her liabilities.
Donna's total assets = $142,000 + $1,000 = $143,000
Donna's total liabilities = $63,000 + $18,000 + $13,000 = $94,000
Donna's net worth = $143,000 - $94,000 = $49,000
Answer: to increase interest rates which reduced aggregate demand.
Explanation:
Since the money supply was contracted to reduce the rate of inflation, this will lead to increase interest rates which reduced aggregate demand.
In this case as a result of the increase in the interest rate, people will prefer to save their money in the banks and thus will result in less money in circulation which ultimately reduces the demand for goods and services.
