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

What would most likely happen to the price of cable TV in Sydney, NE, when the single cable TV firm now has a new competitor com
Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

If the the single cable TV firm from Sydney now has a new competitor coming into town, what will most likely happen with the price of the service is that it will go down and become more accessible to consumers, as a direct consequence of the generation of competition from market between the companies involved.

The concept of competition plays a central role in economic theory. it is a situation by which different actors (companies or consumers) compete for a share in the same activity, typically the sale or purchase of a product or service. For economic operators, it is often an advantage to have limited competition on their own side of the market and a lot of competition on the opposite side, as it allows for high profits. From the point of view of society, as high a competition as possible is usually an advantage, as it ensures the best possible utilization of society's resources.
