Answer and Explanation:
The computation of the given question is shown below:-
Total Contributions = Monthly contribution + Amount invested in Ferdinand’s 401(k)
= $250 + $125
= $375
1. Future Value = PMT [((1 + r)n - 1) ÷ r
Future value = 375 × ((1 + 0.03 ÷ 12) × 12 × 40 - 1) ÷ (0.03 ÷ 12)
= $347,272
2. Ferdinand deposit = Given Amount × Total number of months in a year × Number of years
= $250 × 12 Months × 40 Years
= $120,000
3. The Amount put in by the employer = 50% of $250 ×Total number of months in a year × Number of years
=
$125 × 12 Months × 40 Years
= $60,000
4. Interest = Future value - Ferdinand deposit - The Amount put in by the employer
= $347,272 - $120,000 - $60,000
= $167,272
We simply applied the above formulas
<h2>Joshua would lose and Sue would benefit from unanticipated inflation.</h2>
Explanation:
- Both Joshua and Sue are associated with fixed pension and fixed interest respectively.
- Now the value of money goes down due to inflation
- So to live as usual, Joshua need to spend some extra money. But considering the fixed income, it's a lose to Joshua
- Whereas Sue is associated with fixed interest of mortgage. She is benefited because, though the inflation has changed the value of all other products, but the fixed interest rate does not change.
- "Fixed-rate mortgage holders are inflation winners", says "Thoma, professor of economics at the University of Oregon"

For the case of a consumer with an inelastic demand curve, it is less costly to cater for them, hence reducing the production fixed cost. given that different customers will be charged differently for the same product, it is easy to cover for a low profit range.
The answer is the 3rd one.
My explanation would be that the other reasons listed are for personal use such as friends birthdays, music, and a new clock, but the third answer is listing things appropriate for a business.
Hope I helped !
