Answer:
Present Value = $290.20
Explanation:
The present value of a future payment can be calculated with the following formula:
PV = FV / (1 + i)N
Where i is the annual interest rate or discount rate, and t is the number of years until the payment will be received.
PV = Present Value = ?
FV = Payment = $4,400
i = 8.3% = 0.083
N = 20 - 6 = 14
PV = $4400 / (1 + 0.083)(20 - 6)
PV = $4400 / (1.083 * 14)
PV = $4400 / 15.162
PV = $290.1992
Present Value = $290.20 (Approximated)
Answer:
a. should be discouraged because it lessens a quality that makes that antique desirable
Explanation:
In pricing theory, the price for a good or service should increase as its scarcity increases. Now selling the antique at a bargain price will reduce the price of it and thereby making it less scarce and rare.
