Answer:
Downward sloping
Explanation:
According to the law of demand, this law states that there is a inverse relationship between the price of a commodity and the quantity demanded for a commodity. This indicates that as the price of the commodity increases then as a result the quantity demanded for that commodity decreases and as the price of the commodity decreases then as a result the quantity demanded for that commodity increases.
Monopoly refers to the market conditions in which there is only a single firm operating in a whole market.
Hence, due to this inverse relationship between the price and the quantity demanded, the demand curve for a monopoly firm is downward sloping.
Answer:
$268,696.93
Explanation:
Where an equal amount of money is saved periodically to earn interest at a particular rate of interest to accumulate a target amount in the future , it is called a sinking fund. The purpose could be for retirement, loan repayment or asset acquisition
The sum accumulated (deposit plus interest earned) at the end of the final period is known as the Future Value (FV) of the sinking fund.
The FV is determined as follows:
FV = A × ((1+r/m)^(n× m) - 1)/(r/m))
where FV- future value, A- annual cash flow, r-rate of return, n- number of years, m- number of compounding periods in a year.
<em>so we can apply this to our question</em>
a = 1700, r - 8%= 0.08, m=4, n- 18
FV = 1,700 ×( (1+0.08/4)^(18 × 4) - 1)/(0.08/4))
= 1700 × 158.0570
=$268,696.93
The account will have $268,696.93 at he end of he 18 years
This is tough to answer in 3-5 sentences, and tends to also be a heavy identifier of your possible political leanings. You'll have to apologize if some of mine leak out in the response, but this is a question we debate hotly more frequently than every 4 years.
In general, international trade can help increase the GDP and overall profits for US-based corporations. However, if all we do is export, and we don't import, other countries don't look favorably upon that and may heavily tax our goods to counter this.
I believe we do need to be thoughtful about the amounts and kinds of international trade that we engage in. For example, farming is always a hotly debated issue for international trade, in part because farmers in other countries with a dramatically lower cost of living OR farmers in countries with a favorable currency rate (exchange from their currency to our dollars gives them an advantage) can undercut our farmers here in the US, many of whom are already struggling.
There are also those who are worried that when we import produce from countries that have not outlawed pesticides we know are carcinogenic, for instance, this creates not only a disadvantage for US farmers, but also for consumers who may be concerned about health issues.
As another example of this, many countries outlawed import of US beef during the Mad Cow Epidemic. We in turn also placed bans on importing beef from the UK.
These are examples of why it's important to be thoughtful about trade, but there are certainly many others, including decline in production jobs within the US that have left cities like Detroit a ghost town (this was formerly the hub of our automotive industry production).
