Answer:
- <u><em>d) increases as the interest rate decreases.</em></u>
Explanation:
<em>Present value</em> is the value today; future value is the value some time in the future.
The mere notion of the value of money in time should tell you that, further away in time (towards the future) a sum of money is found, the lower its value today.
Then, you should be able to rule out some propositions that are contrary to that intuition:
- a<em>) decreases as the time period decreases</em> ↔ clearly false: the present value increases as the time period decreases
- <em>e) is directly related to the time period</em>. ↔ clearly false: the present value is inversely related to the time period.
How is the present value related to the future value?
They are directly related: the higher a lump sum in the future the higher the value of it in the present; more money is more money always. More money in the future has more value in the present; less money in the future has less value in the present. Thus, the option <em>b). is inversely related to the future value</em> is false
How is the present value related to the interest rate?. Which one is true?
- c) is directly related to the interest rate, or
- d) increases as the interest rate decreases
The present value is calculated discounted the future value at the interest rate. The interest rate is in the denominator of the equation to pass from future value to present value. Thus, they are inversely related (c is false); the less the interest rate, the higher the present value of a future amount (confirm d is true).
Therefore, the correct answer is that <em>the present of a lump sum future amount: </em><em><u>d) increases as the interest rate decreases.</u></em>

Answer:
€1.54/$1.00
Explanation:
When the bond sells at par, the implicit €/$ exchange rate pays €651.25 at maturity per €1000
651.25/1000= 1/x
Cross multiply
651.25x = 1000
x= 1000/651.25
x= 1.54
Hence the implicit exchange rate is €1.54/$1.00

Answer:
The correct answer is option D.
Explanation:
The money equation given by Irving fisher is popularly known as fisher's equation.
The equation is given as MV=PT
Here, M represents money supply, V is the velocity of money, P is the price level and T refers to the volume of transactions or output level.
The supply of money refers to the quantity of money in existence while the velocity of transactions shows the number of times, money changes hands. Together they show the volume of money in circulation.
P is the average price level and T represents the expenditures on all transactions or, in other words, output level.
Here, V and T are assumed to be constant. This means that the money supply directly affects the price level.
There is no explicit mention of the interest rate in this equation.
So, option D is the correct answer.
Answer:
The sell will generate a loss of $6,000.
Explanation:
Please find the below for detailed calculations and explanations:
- The equipment's net value at the time of disposal is equal to: Book value of the equipment - The accumulated depreciation of the equipment = 60,000 - 28,000 = $32,000;
- The gain/(loss) on the disposal of equipment is equal to: Sell price of the equipment - The equipment's net value at the time of disposal = 26,000 - 32,000 = $(6,000)
Thus, Tulip Corporation's disposal of the equipment at Dec 31st 2019 makes a loss of $6,000.
