Answer:

$2000=Z/(1+i)^1+Z/(1+i)^2+Z/(1+i)^3

Explanation:

let Z be the annual minimum cash flow

The internal rate of approach can be used here, in other words, the rate of return at which capital outlay of $2000 is equal present values of future cash flows

In year 1, present value of cash =X/discount factor

year 1 PV=Z/(1+i)^1

year 2 PV=Z/(1+i)^2

year 3=Z/(1+i)^3

Hence,

$2000=Z/(1+i)^1+Z/(1+i)^2+Z/(1+i)^3

Solving for Z above would give the minimum annual cash flow that must be generated for the computer to worth the purchase

Assuming i, interest rate on financing is 12%=0.12

Z can be computed thus:

$2000=Z(1/(1+0.12)^1+(1/(1+0.12)^2+(1+0.12)^3)

$2000=Z*3.09497902

Z=$2000/3.09497902

Z=$646.21

What are the three basic questions faced by every economy
Likurg_2 [28]

The three basic questions asked are:

1. What goods and services should be produced?

This is asked because the economy wants to produce what the consumers want or else the resources aren't being used efficiently since resources are scarce.

2. How should we produce them?

This is asked because the producers don't want to spend unnecessary time or money on production, so they must choose wisely what method of production is best for their company and consumers.

3. Who are the consumers?

This is asked because the producers want to make sure that they are targeting the right people with advertising or selling.

Hope this helped!
