Answer:

The results a-c  are the same $3,039.79  

However, the rate of return is given different names in each of the scenario.

In the first scenario, it was named annual interest which implies rate of return on an investment.

Annual interest is the same as discount rate because discounting an amount means stating in today's terms,which also applies to the amount to be invested when the future cash flow repayable is known, the amount to be invested can be brought back to equivalent amount today by discounting.

Finally, opportunity cost means the interest rate forgone by choosing to invest in one security,which is also the desirable rate of return convincing enough for the investment to be made.

A rate of return can be tagged annual interest, opportunity cost or discount rate,they are synonymous.

Explanation:

a.

The $6000 is the future value, the unknown is present value.

PV=FV*(1+r)^-N

r is the rate of return of 12% while N is 6 years

PV=$6000*(1+12%)^-6

PV=$3,039.79

b.the requirement also is PV with FV of $6,000 with discount rate of 12%,that rate of return,with N being 6 years

PV=$6000*(1+12%)^-6  

PV=$ 3,039.79  

c,The most to be paid for $6,000 with an opportunity cost of $12% is given below;

PV=$6000*(1+12%)^-6

    =$3,039.79

Answer:

c. 1.14

Explanation:

Year         Cash Flow    PV Factor 10%     PV of Cash flows

                        ($)                                                              ($)

Year 1             180,000         0.909                     163,620

Year 2             120,000         0.826                       99,120

Year 3             100,000         0.751                       75,100

Year 4               90,000         0.683                       61,470

Year 5               90,000         0.621                       55,890

                                                                Total              =    455,200

Initial cash outflow = $400,000

Cash inflow = $455,200

So, we can calculate the present value index by using following formula,

Present value index = Cash inflow ÷ Cash outflow

= $455,200 ÷ $400,000

= 1.14

Is a worker's human capital and his or her resulting productivity the ONLY determinants of that person's wage or salary?
stich3 [128]
The correct answer is

<span>No, like all resources, supply and demand also affect how much a worker is paid.


For example, a worker doing the same computer job might be paid more in New York than in other places: this has to do with the fact that the demand and supply (in form of workers ready to work in NY for a certain wage) are different in those two places</span>
