Juliette [100K]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "D": Class envy.

Explanation:

In behavioral economics, the endowment effect explains why an individual could give a higher value to an object that posses than giving a low value when the individual does not have it. The approach implies the object has symbolic importance for the individual while having it.

A good example of the endowment effect refers to a teacher that gives one of his classes' students mugs as gifts. The value of the students who received mugs was higher than the value of those who did not get one.

You want to buy a car, and a local bank will lend you $20,000. The loan will be fully amortized over 5 years (60 months), and th

EastWind [94]

Amortizing a loan P over n periods at i% interest / period, the payment per period is given by:
$A= P(i(1+i)^n)/((1+i)^n-1)$

In given situation,
P=20000
period=month
i=10%/12
n=5*12=60 months

A. monthly payment amount
$A= P(i(1+i)^n)/((1+i)^n-1)$
$= 20000(.1/12(1+.1/12)^60)/((1+.1/12)^60-1)$
$=424.98$ to the nearest cent

B. EAR (effective annual rate)
the APR is 10%, but compounded monthly.
So
EAR=(1+i/12)^12-1
=(1+0.1/12)^12-1
=0.104713
=10.4713% (effective annual rate)

an efficiency wage is a: system of tying wage rates to overall factory efficiency rather than personal productivity. higher wage

krok68 [10]

An efficiency wage is a higher wage paid to reward workers who show greater productivity. Option D is correct.

<h3>What is the Efficiency wage?</h3>

Wages provided to employees over the minimum wage in order to retain a trained and efficient staff are referred to as efficiency wages. Adam Smith defined a type of pay disparity in the 18th century, in which workers in some businesses are paid more than others based on the level of trustworthiness necessary.

Employers establish efficiency salaries above the equilibrium wage rate as an incentive for better employee performance. An efficiency wage is a higher wage provided to employees who are more productive.

Therefore, option D is correct.

You see a used sporty car that you would like to own. It costs $9,000 and you would pay 7.2% interest, compounded monthly and fi

bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

$24,705.8

Explanation:

To find the answer, we will use the present value of an annuity formula:

PV = A (1 - (1 + I)^-n / i

Where:

PV = Present value of the investment (in thise case, the cost of the car)
A = Value of the annuity (the monthly payments)
i = Interest Rate
n = number of compounding periods

The monthly payments are an annuity: they are periodic, fall under the same interest rate, and have the same value, therefore, if we find the value of the annuity, we will find the value of the first monthly payment at the same time (both things are the same):

Plugging the amounts into the formula we obtain:

9,000 = A ( 1 - (1 + 0.072)^-36 / 0.072

9,000 = A (12.75)

9,000 / 12.75 = A

705.88 = A

Now, to find the full value of the loan, we multiply the annuity value for 36, because that value will be paid 36 times until the loan is completed:

Full value of the loan = 705.88 x 36

= 25,411.68

Finally, to find the loan balance after the first payment, we take the full value of the loan, and substract the value of the annuity from it:

Loan balance after first payment = 25,411.68 - 705.88

= 24,705.8

Question

you are a consultant to a firm evaluating an expansion of its current business. The cash flow forecasts (in millions of dollar) for the project as follows:

Year cashflow

0 -100

1-10 15

0n the basis of the behavior of the firm's stock, you believe that the beta of the firm is 1.30. Assuming that the rate of return available on risk-free investments is 5% and that the expected rate of return on the market portfolio is 15% what is the net present value of the project

Answer:

NPV= -$32.58

Explanation:

The net present value of the investment is the cash inflow from the investment discounted at required rate of return. The required rate of return can be determined using the the formula below:

Ke= Rf +β(Rm-Rf)

Ke =? , Rf- 5%,, Rm-15%, β- 1.30

Ke=5% + 1.30× (15-5)= 18%

The NPV = Present value of cash inflow - initial cost

= A×(1-(1+r)^(-10)/r - initial cost

A- 15, r-18%

NPV = 15× (1-1.18^(-10)/0.18 - 100= -32.58

NPV = -$32.58
