In 1626, Dutchman Peter Minuit purchased Manhattan Island from a local Native American tribe. Historians estimate that the price

he paid for the island was about $24 worth of goods, including beads, trinkets, cloth, kettles, and axe heads. Many people find it laughable that Manhattan Island would be sold for $24, but you need to consider the future value (FV) of that price in more current times. If the $24 purchase price could have been invested at a 6% annual interest rate, what is its value as of 2018 (392 years later)?

Answer:

$199,576,970,307.56

Explanation:

Given:

Price paid for the island = $24

Annual interest rate, r = 6%

Duration, n = 392 years

Now,

Future value is given as:

Future value = Present value × ( 1 + r )ⁿ

on substituting the respective values, we get

Future value = $24 × ( 1 + 0.06 )³⁹²

or

Future value = $24 × 8315707096.148

or

Future value = $199,576,970,307.56

Papessa [141]

Answer: C) direct mail is favored by industrial and commercial property owners.

Explanation:

Direct mail advertising is the method still preferred by most industrial and commercial property owners. This is simply down to the fact that it enables them to build a prospective list of clients that they can always target. They then mail these clients professional ads when there is an opening. The benefit of this is that they are mailing to who they would consider to be an audience more likely to act on the information that way their efforts are not wasted.

nadezda [96]

Answer:

The correct answer is option (c) $264 underapplied

Explanation:

Given data;

Direct labour hour = 22160

Total Manufacturing overhead cost= $585,024

Actual direct labor hour = 22150

Actual Manufacturing overhead cost = $585024

Calculating the Predetermine overhead rate using the formula;

Predetermined Overhead rate=Total Overhead Cost/Total Direct Labor Hour

Predetermined Overhead rate = $585024/22160

                                                      =$26.4 per labor hour

To determine the under-applied amount of overhead cost, we use the formula;

Under−Applied amount= Estimated Overhead Cost*Actual Overhead Cost

Substituting into the formula, we have

                          (22150*26.4)-585024

      Under applied  = $ 264

Which type of fiscal policy takes longer to affect the economy: demand-side or supply-side?
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:

A.) supply-side

Explanation:

Fiscal policy in economics refers to the use of government expenditures (spending) and revenues (taxation) in order to influence macroeconomic conditions such as Aggregate Demand (AD), inflation, and employment within a country. Fiscal policy is in relation to the Keynesian macroeconomic theory by John Maynard Keynes.

A fiscal policy affects combined demand through changes in government policies, spending and taxation which eventually impacts employment and standard of living plus consumer spending and investment.

A supply-side economist can be defined as economists who believes that the ability and willingness of the producers of goods and services to manufacture or produce sets the pace for the economic growth of a country.

This ultimately implies that, increasing the supply of goods and services would cause an economic growth for a country.

Hence, a supply-side fiscal policy is typically designed to create an outward shift in the production possibilities curve (PPC) and shift the aggregate supply (AS) curve to the left.

Generally, a supply-side fiscal policy takes a longer period of time to affect the economy of a country.
