Answer:
- <u><em>d) increases as the interest rate decreases.</em></u>
Explanation:
<em>Present value</em> is the value today; future value is the value some time in the future.
The mere notion of the value of money in time should tell you that, further away in time (towards the future) a sum of money is found, the lower its value today.
Then, you should be able to rule out some propositions that are contrary to that intuition:
- a<em>) decreases as the time period decreases</em> ↔ clearly false: the present value increases as the time period decreases
- <em>e) is directly related to the time period</em>. ↔ clearly false: the present value is inversely related to the time period.
How is the present value related to the future value?
They are directly related: the higher a lump sum in the future the higher the value of it in the present; more money is more money always. More money in the future has more value in the present; less money in the future has less value in the present. Thus, the option <em>b). is inversely related to the future value</em> is false
How is the present value related to the interest rate?. Which one is true?
- c) is directly related to the interest rate, or
- d) increases as the interest rate decreases
The present value is calculated discounted the future value at the interest rate. The interest rate is in the denominator of the equation to pass from future value to present value. Thus, they are inversely related (c is false); the less the interest rate, the higher the present value of a future amount (confirm d is true).
Therefore, the correct answer is that <em>the present of a lump sum future amount: </em><em><u>d) increases as the interest rate decreases.</u></em>

Answer:
A rational decision
Explanation:
Marginal decision involves using more than or less than what you have by comparing the cost and benefits. Marginal cost is the additional cost as a result of making a different decision while the marginal benefit is the additional benefit as a result of making a different choice. A rational decision is a decision in which the marginal benefits as a result of taking that decision is greater or equal to the marginal cost of that decision.
Explanation:
Growth overfishing occurs when fish are harvested at an average size that is smaller than the size that would produce the maximum yield per recruit.
Answer:
b. She receives $10,000
Explanation:
Taxes owed = (1/4 of income) - $15,000.
Taxes owed = (1/4 x 20,000) - $15,000.
= 5,000 - 15,000 => -10,000
Hence, she receives $10,000 from the government.
A negative income tax is a system where people earning below a certain amount receive supplemental pay from the government instead of paying taxes to the government.
I guess because the economy falling apart and the budget keeps going up.
