Answer: 77 months
Explanation:
Use the NPER function on Excel to find the answer.
Rate is compounded monthly so:
= 8% / 12
= 0.66667%
Payment = 5,000 per month
Present value = $0
Future value = 500,000
Value should be = 76.87 months
= 77 months
Answer:
SUBSTITUTION BIAS
Explanation:
The Consumer Price Index (CPI) is a measure that examines the weighted average of prices of a basket of consumer goods and services, such as transportation, food, and medical care. It is calculated by taking price changes for each item in the predetermined basket of goods and averaging them.
The substitution bias is a weakness in the Consumer Price Index that overstates inflation because it does not account for the substitution effect, when consumers choose to substitute one good for another after its price becomes cheaper than the good they normally buy.
Samantha decides to buy some peppermint because of the 15% inflation on the price of ginger ale, therefore, this situation is most relevant to SUBSTITUTION BIAS in the construction of CPI.
Answer:
They will be able to consume at a point outside their production possibilities frontier.
Explanation:
The Production possibilities frontiers is a curve that shows the various combination of two goods a company can produce when all its resources are fully utilised.
The PPC is concave to the origin. This means that as more quantities of a product is produced, the fewer resources it has available to produce another good. As a result, less of the other product would be produced. So, the opportunity cost of producing a good increase as more and more of that good is produced.
Factors that cause the PPF to shift
1. changes in technology.
2. changes in available resources.
3. changes in the labour force.
A country engages in the specialisation of a good for which it has a comparative advantage in its production and purchases goods for which it has a comparative disadvantage in its production .
an advantage of specialisation is that it allows countries to consume goods for which its not efficient in its production. Thus it allows to consume unattainable goods given the resources of the country. As a result, they will be able to consume at a point outside their production possibilities frontier.
Answer:
Part a: The probability of breaking even in 6 tosses is 0.3125.
Part b: The probability that one payer wins all the money after the 10th toss is 0.0264.
Explanation:
Part a
P(success)=1/2=0.5
P(Failure)=1/2=0.5
Now for the break-even at the sixth toss
P(Break Even)=P(3 success out of 6)
P(3 success out of 6)
So the probability of breaking even in 6 tosses is 0.3125.
Part b:
So the probability that one of the player wins all the money after the 10th toss is given as the tenth toss is given as a win so
Wins in 9 tosses is given as 9!/7!=72
The probability that the other person wins
Wins in 8 out of 10 tosses is given as 10!/8!(10-8)!=10!/8!2!=45
So the probability of all the money is won by one of the gambler after the 10th toss is given as
P=number of wins in 9 tosses-Number of wins in 10 tosses/total number of tosses
P=(72-45)/2^16
P=0.0264
So the probability that one payer wins all the money after the 10th toss is 0.0264.
Answer:
Date, bonds sold at a premium
Dr Cash 5,500,000
Cr Bonds payable 5,000,000
Cr Premium on bonds payable 500,000
Explanation:
The total face value of the bonds is $1,000 x 5,000 bonds = $5,000,000
since the bonds were sold at 110, their price was $5,000,000 x 110% = $5,500,000
the difference between the face value and the actual market price = $5,500,000 - $5,000,000 = $500,000 must be recorded as premium on bonds payable (increases the bonds' carrying value)
