Answer: The consumption schedule shows the amounts households intend to consume at various possible levels of aggregate income.
Explanation: Consumption function, in economics, the relationship between consumer spending and the various factors determining it. At the household or family level, these factors may include income, wealth, expectations about the level and riskiness of future income or wealth, interest rates, age, education, and family size.
A consumption schedule is a table of numbers showing the relation between consumption expenditures and income for the household sector. The income measure commonly used is national income or disposable income. Occasionally a measure of aggregate production, such as gross domestic product, is used instead.
Answer:
a) Gold = $1,380; Silver = $1,020
b) Gold = $1,300; Silver = $980
Explanation:
a) At first, with Qg = 60 and Qs = 270, the equilibrium prices for gold and silver are found by solving the following linear system:
Equilibrium price of gold is $1,380 and the price of silver is $1,020.
b) If the supply of gold increases to 120, since the goods are substitutes, there will be an increase in overall supply and the equilibrium price of gold and silver will decrease as follows:
Equilibrium price of gold is $1,300 and the price of silver is $980.
Answer:
the second option
Explanation:
Present value is the sum of discounted cash flows
Present value can be calculated using a financial calculator
first option
Cash flow in year 1 and 2 - $85,000
1 = 7
PV = $153,681.54
Second option
Cash flow in year 0 = $20,000
Cash flow in year 1 and 2- $74,000
I = 7
PV = $153,793.34
the pv of the second payment is higher than the first so the seconf would be choosen
To find the PV using a financial calculator:
1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
2. after inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
3. Press compute
153,681.54

Explanation:
Answer:
This question has a missing information. I have found the complete version and pasted it down below;
"Your neighbor offers you an investment opportunity, which will pay a single lump sum of S2,000 five years from today. The investment requires a single payment of <em>$1,500 today</em>. The return on the investment is % A. 4.195 B. 4.729 C. 5.361 D. 5.922 E. 6.961 "
Explanation:
This question requires you to find that discount rate given a single future cashflow. $2,000 is expected 5 years from today, hence the future value. $1,500 payment today is the dollar value today, hence the Present value.
Using a financial calculator, you will key in the following inputs;
Total duration; N = 5
Present value; PV = -1,500 (it's a cash outflow hence negative)
Recurring payment; PMT = 0
Future value; FV = 2,000
then find the rate by keying in CPT I/Y = 5.922%
Therefore, the return on the investment is 5.92%
