Answer:

We will be considering design A.

Explanation:

By applying B/C analysis following interpretation take place:

For Design A:

Investment (I) = USD 400,000

Cost (C) = USD 50,000 (P/A) which is (8%,15)

we will get USD 427,974

For Design B:

Investment (I)= USD 300,000

Cost (C) = USD 80,000 (P/A) which is (8%,15)

we will get USD 684,758

  • We will select the most effective alternative based on their least cost which is (I+C) or their modified benefit to cost ratio. Using the modified B/C ratio which is:

B/C modified:

= (Cost of A- Cost of B) ) / (Investment of A - Investment of B)  

= (427,974 - 684,758))/(400,000-300,000)

= 2.56 Answer

Brrunno [24]

Answer: A. incorrect because part of each payment is to principal and to interest.​ Therefore, only a portion of the payment goes to​ interest, so the full amount should not be included when computing the rate of interest paid.

Explanation:

When paying back a loan, there are two components to the periodic interest payment. The first component is the interest payment. This is the payment to compensate the borrower for loaning out the money and is based on the interest rate and the principal left to be repaid.

The second component goes towards repaying the principal of the loan which in this case is $10,000. When computing the periodic interest rate therefore, the entire amount paid per period should not be used as it would inflate the interest rate.

andre [41]

Answer:

Money multiplier for this economy is 5

Explanation:

Initial bank reserves = reserve deposit ratio * $500 = 0.2 * $500 = $100

1) increase in bank reserves by $1 , bank reserve deposit increases from $500 to $101 / 0.2 = $505 and the money supply increases by $505 - $500 = $5

2)  increase in bank reserves by $5 , bank reserve deposit increases from $500 to $105 / 0.2 = $525 and the money supply increases by $525 - $500 = $25

3)  increase in bank reserves by $10 , bank reserve deposit increases from $500 to $110 / 0.2 = $550 and the money supply increases by $550 - $500 = $50

as money supply rises by 5 times the increase in bank reserves , the money multiplier in this economy is 5.

denpristay [2]

Answer:

$3,533.37

Explanation:

In this question, we use the Future value formula which is shown below:

Future value = Present value × (1 + rate)^number of years

where,

Present value = $2,900

Rate = 5.00% ÷ 2 = 2.5%

Number of years = 4 year × 2 = 8 years

So, the future value

= $2,900 × (1 + 2.5%)^8

= $2,900 × 1.2184028975

= $3,533.37

Hence, the future value is $3,533.37 or the money that is to be expected at the end of this period
