Answer:

(a) Option (c) is correct.

(b) Option (b) is correct.

Explanation:

(a) If there is an unexpected decrease in the oil prices (Positive supply shock) then as a result this will reduce the cost of production of the firms and hence, there is an increase in the supply of the goods. This will shift the aggregate supply curve rightwards.

(b) If all the producers are required to contribute more towards the heath insurance coverage (negative supply shock) then as a result this will increase the cost of production of the producers. So, this will lead to decrease the supply of the goods and also, shift the supply curve leftwards.

ohaa [14]

Answer:

a. $80,318.70

b. $97,568.57

Explanation:

Here is the full question :

You have just received a windfall from an investment you made in a friend's business. She will be paying you $ 15 comma 555 at the end of this year, $ 31 comma 110 at the end of next year, and $ 46 comma 665 at the end of the year after that (three years from today). The interest rate is 6.7 % per year. a. What is the present value of your windfall? b. What is the future value of your windfall in three years (on the date of the last payment)?

Present value is the sum of discounted cash flows

Present value can be calculated using a financial calculator

Cash flow in year 1 = $ 15,555

Cash flow in year 2 = $31,110

Cash flow in year 3 = $ 46,665

I = 6.7%

Present value = $80,318.70

The formula for calculating future value:

FV = P (1 + r)^n

FV = Future value

P = Present value

R = interest rate

N = number of years

$80,318.70(1.067)^3 = $97,568.57
