Answer:

They should invest $5,119,047.619 today.

Explanation:

The trust fund will pay a fixed amount forever thus it is a perpetuity. The value of perpetuity or Price of perpetuity is the amount that the perpetuity is worth in today's terms based on the cash flows it will generate in future.

The formula for the value or price of perpetuity is,

P0 or V = Cash Flow / r

Thus,

P0 or V = 215000 / 0.04   =  $5,119,047.619

Suppose the government enacts a price floor on milk, which leads to a surplus in the market. How will the government then attemp
Anna [14]

Answer:

Price Floor led Excess Supply can be solved by : Preserving goods Buffer Stock ; or processing goods to increase their shelf life (in case of perishable goods like Milk)

Explanation:

Unregulated markets are at equilibrium where : market demand , market supply are equal ; and downward sloping demand curve , upward sloping supply curve intersect.

Price Floor is minimum mandated price set by government, below which a good can't be sold in the market. It is usually set above equilibrium price, to protect interest of sellers. Example : Minimum Support Price as minimum agricultural  goods price to protect interest of farmers, Given Milk Price floor case.

Price Floor creates artificially higher prices ; so increases supply, decreases supply & hence creates Excess Supply. Government can solve this excess supply by preserving stock supply for contingent times , eg -  maintaining buffer stock. If the good is of perishable nature, as given milk case : it should be processed further to increase its shelf life, eg - cheese, such that the stock supply can be released at a slower pace.
