Answer:

E. You should accept the $200,000 because the payments are only worth $195,413 to you today

Explanation:

We solve for the presnet value of an annuity of 20 year of $1400 at 0.5% discount rate

C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\

C 1,400.00

time 240 (20 years x 12 month per year)

rate 0.005 (6% / 12 monhts = 0.5% = 0.5/100 = 0.005)

1400 \times \frac{1-(1+0.005)^{-240} }{0.005} = PV\\

PV $195,413.0804

When a tax is levied on a good, the buyers and sellers of the good share the burden, A. provided the tax is levied on the seller
Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

Here all of these options are wrong , the correct answer is regardless of how the tax is levied the burden of tax would be shared by both the seller and buyer.

Explanation:

Tax can be said as primary source of income for the government. When a tax is levied on the goods , the burden of that would have to be bear by both buyer and seller , irrelevant of how that levied . If the taxes are high then the demand by buyer would be less and seller would receive low price because less people would buy and n the case where taxes are low demand would be high and seller would receive high prices ,in both cases tax would be levied on both seller and buyer and how much it would be depends upon the elasticity of demand and supply. So all the statements given here are false or invalid.
