Answer:

They both produced the same cash amount

Explanation:

The regular retirement would have its deducted after withdrawal from the plan while Roth retirement plan's tax would have been deducted prior to investing funds in the plan

The future value of the $2000 is computed thus:

FV=PV*(1+r)^n

PV is the amount saved in the plan which is $2000

r is the growth rate of the funds in the plan which is 12%

n is the number of years the amount would be left in the plan

FV=$2000*(1+12%)^20=$ 19,292.59  

After tax amount=$ 19,292.59*(1-28%)=$ 13,890.66  

The future value of the $1,440 is computed thus:

FV=$1,440*(1+12%)^20=$ 13,890.66  

The Roth plan has not tax implication thereafter as tax was paid before savings.

Suppose that the market demand curve for scooters is given by P = 300 - 5Q, where P is the price and Q is total industry output.
BigorU [14]

Answer:

The total number of scooters is 10

Explanation:

Total profit is maximized where Marginal Revenue (MR) = Total Marginal Cost

= 50 + 50 + 50 + 50 = $200

TR = P × Q = (300 - 5Q) × Q = 300Q - 5Q²

So, MR = \frac{d(TR)}{dQ} = 300 - 2(5Q) = 300 - 10Q

Now, MR = 200 gives,

300 - 10Q = 200

So, 10Q = 300 - 200 = 100

So, Q = \frac{100}{10}

So, Q = 10
