Answer:

d. pollution should be eliminated as long as the benefit from a cleanup exceeds the opportunity cost.

At a farmer’s market, a basket of strawberries costs $20 and a basket of peaches costs $18. On Saturday, 23 baskets were sold
nlexa [21]

Based on the calculation done, there are 15 baskets of peaches.

x + y = 23 ..... i

20x + 18y = 430 ...... ii

From equation i, x = 23 - y ..... iii

Put equation iii into ii

20x + 18y = 430

20(23 - y) + 18y = 430

460 - 20y + 18y = 430

2y = 30

y = 30/2 = 15

x + y = 23.

x + 15 = 23

x = 23 - 15 = 8

Suppose the economy only produces three goods: bread, laptops, and movies. Calculate the CPI of 2008, using 2004 as the base yea
arsen [322]

Answer:

Most of the question is missing, so I looked for a similar one and found the attached image.

CPI = (current year price × base year quantity) / (base year price × Base year quantity)

CPI for bread in current year = [($1.50 × 2,000) / ($1 × 2,000)] x 100 = 150

CPI for laptops in current year = [($1,500 × 100) / ($2,000 × 100)] x 100 = 75

CPI for movies in current year = [($7 × 50) / ($5 × 50)] x 100 = 140

CPI for current year = (CPI for bread x weight of bread) + (CPI of laptops x weight of laptops) + (CPI of movies x weight of movies) = (150 x $2,250/$227,530) + (75 x$225,000/$227,530) + (140 x $280/$227,530) = 1.48 + 74.17 + 0.17 =75.82

You are in talks to settle a potential lawsuit. The defendant has offered to make annual payments of $35,000, $39,000, $80,000,
storchak [24]

Answer:

The value of the settlement today =  $231,897.79  

Explanation:

The value of the settlement today is the sum of the present value (PV) of cash inflows discounted at the discount rate of 5.7 %.

Year                                                   PV

1              35,000 × 1.057^(-1)   = 33112.58

2                39,000× 1.057^(-2) = 34907.16

3.               80,000× 1.057^(-3)  = 67743.09

4                 120,000 × 1.057^(-4) =96134.94

The Pv of the total cash in flow =33,112.58  +  34,907.17  +  67,743.09  +  96,134.95  =  231,897.79  

The value of the settlement today =  $231,897.79
