You buy a house for $299,000.

Example 31: S borrows 5,00,000 to buy a house. If he pays equal instalments for 20 years

Veronika [31]

Answer:

$58.729

Explanation:

To find the answer, we need to use the present value of an annuity formula.

The formula is:

P = X [(1 - (1 + i)^-n) / i ]

Where X is the annual instalment

P is the present value of the investment (500,000 in this case)(

i is the interest rate (10% in this case)

and n is the number of periods (20 years in this case)

We now plug the amounts into the formula:

500,000 = X [ (1 - (1 + 0.10)^-20) / 0.10 ]

500,000 = X [8.51356]

500,000 / 8.51356 = X

58,729 = X

So the value of the equal annual instalment will be $58.729

Answer the question on the basis of the following information. Assume that if the interest rate that businesses must pay to borr

Kay [80]

Answer:

The answer is: C) Investment spending by businesses varies inversely with the interest rate.

Explanation:

This statement is true all the time. When a company evaluates the costs and benefits of an investment, interest rate plays a fundamental part in those calculations. The two basic reasons for that are:

The higher the interest rate a company (or any individual) has to pay for a loan, the harder it is for the company to repay the loan.
The interest rate a bank charges is usually correlated to the opportunity cost of an investment. The higher the interest rates banks charge, the higher the internal rate of return (which is used to calculate the Net Present Value of an investment) will be. This is because banks don´t print money, they take in deposits and then they loan the money the someone else. So if the interest rate the bank charges is high, usually the interest rates the bank pays for the deposits is also high. Instead of investing, a company might just put their money on the bank and earn a better return rate.

Use the following information to answer the questions:

Nostrana [21]

Answer:

A.) Since the United States has an aging population and thus an expected decline in working population in the future, therefore, increasing the output per worker seems more relevant in the United states than increasing the proportion of working population. Because Mexico on the other hand boasts a youthful population, Mexico can increase its standard of living by either increasing its output per worker or by increasing the proportion of the population that works.

B.) GDP INCREASES.....

STANDARD OF LIVING ALSO INCREASES....

INCREASE IN NUMBER OF EMPLOYED WORKERS HAS GREATER WEIGHT THAN THE DECREASE IN LABOR PRODUCTIVITY

Lyrx [107]

Answer:

a. There are significant differences in incomes between high- and low-income countries.

Explanation:

Data provided in the question

Per person GDP in Singapore = $53,591

Per person GDP in Egypt = $5,547

Based on the above information

As we can see that the level of income in Singapore is higher than Egypt also when there is an important difference in the high income and low income countries the same is shown accurately

hence, the correct option is a.
