Answer:

The equipment should not cost more than  $6,318,545.68  

Explanation:

The most that the land scrapping equipment could cost is the present of the 1.5  million annuity discounted at 6% p.a.

A- 1,500,000, n- 5, r- 6%

=1, 500,000 × ((1.06)^(-5))/0.06

= $6,318,545.68  

The equipment should not cost more than  $6,318,545.68

Stels [109]

Answer:

Fear appeal.

Explanation:

In this scenario, Life insurance companies like Prudential hope to get you to worry about how your loved ones will provide for themselves once you have passed away. In order to buttress their point, they paint a very gloomy picture of the possible consequences of not having life insurance, and they make a point of recommending that you act immediately because you never know when it is going to be too late. This is an example of a fear appeal.

A fear appeal can be defined as the act of persuading potential customers to change a risky behavior by highlighting adverse or negative consequences that may arise if they do not subscribe to a service or use a particular product. The main purpose of a fear appeal is to cajole people into buying a product or using a service by using their fears as a motivation.

Increases in the minimum wage are intended to raise the incomes of low-income workers. Many economists favor a different policy
Stels [109]

Answer:

The Earned Income credit

Explanation:

Many economists choose the earned income credit (EIC) over the increase in minimum wage because it avoids deadweight losses. Deadweight losses results when supply are demand are not in equilibrium (Market Inefficiency). Increases in minimum wages invariably leads to increase in prices of market goods which are overpriced. This leads to market Inefficiency.

So in trying to help low income earners, many economists choose the EIC over just increasing minimum wage.

The earned Income Credit helps certain tax payers with low incomes from work in a particular tax year. It reduces the amount of tax owed and may result in a refund to the tax payers if the amount of credit is greater than the amount of tax owed.
