Do all markets function the same way around the world?

1 answer:

7 0

Well honestly, markets are how people function; markets don’t function, people do.

We speak of the “functioning of markets” as a shorthand, a figure of speech because abstracting human behavior to the behavior of a system is useful, as long as we don’t forget that it is an abstraction and not a real thing.

This is the same when we speak of “the roar of the crowd” even though people roar, not crowds. It just takes too long to write “the noise of the people in the crowd roaring at the same time”.

It is easier to write “the functioning of the market” than “what happens as people interact with each other.” Markets are the interactions of people .

So, do people behave and interact the same way around the world? Obviously not. Are the results the same? Yes they are: people serve each other and, in the process, create wealth. But both wealth and service vary by culture.

If that makes sense... anyway, have a nice night!

An author just signed a lucrative contract with a publisher that offers to pay her the amount of $500 at the end of year 9 when

solong [7]

Answer:

Ans. The annuity that will be equivalent to the publisher´s advance would be $26.40 per year, for 9 years at 7% interest rate.

Explanation:

Hi, first, let´s bring that $500 to be paid in 9 years to present value, we need to use the following formula.

$PresentValue=\frac{FutureValue}{(1+r)^{n} }$

Where: r is our discount rate (7%) and n the periods from now when she will receive that $500 amount. This should look like this.

$PresentValue=\frac{500}{(1+0.07)^{9} } =271.97$

Ok, so the equivalent amount of money today of those $500 in nine years is $271.97, but the author wants $100 today so the remaining amount has to be used to find the equal annual payments to be made in order to be equivalent to re remaining balance ($171.97). We now need to use the following equation.

$Present Value=\frac{A((1+r)^{n}-1 )}{r(1+r)^{n} }$

And we solve for "A" like this

$171.97=\frac{A((1+0.07)^{9}-1 )}{0.07(1+0.07)^{9} }$

$171.97=\frac{A(0.838459212 )}{0.128692145}$

$171.97=A(6.515232249)$

$A=\frac{171.97}{6.515232249} = 26.40$

Therefore, the equivalent amount of money of $500 in 9 years is $100 today and $26.40 every year, at the end of the year, for nine years.

Best of luck.

Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

Option C is the correct answer.

Explanation:

What do we understand by disparate-treatment discrimination?

It simply refers to an act of unequal behavior towards someone because of some existing prejudices in the mind of those that commit the act. These prejudices could include false believes about the person coming in. For example a stereotype about being Asian or probably, one about being a female. So what this means is that this act is committed when an unequal behavior is shown to a person because of some characteristics possessed by the person for example gender-based or demographic considerations.

Important to note is that this act is illegal. Since it is illegal, a person feeling he had been a victim could get a court to preside over his/her issues with the said person
