The present value of a lump sum future amount:__________

Business
1 answer:
SVEN [57.7K]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

  • <u><em>d) increases as the interest rate decreases.</em></u>

Explanation:

<em>Present value</em> is the value today; future value is the value some time in the future.

The mere notion of the value of money in time should tell you that, further away in time (towards the future) a sum of money is found, the lower its value today.

Then, you should be able to rule out some propositions that are contrary to that intuition:

  • a<em>) decreases as the time period decreases</em> ↔ clearly false: the present value increases as the time period decreases
  • <em>e) is directly related to the time period</em>. ↔ clearly false: the present value is inversely related to the time period.

How is the present value related to the future value?

They are directly related: the higher a lump sum in the future the higher the value of it in the present; more money is more money always. More money in the future has more value in the present; less money in the future has less value in the present. Thus,  the option <em>b). is inversely related to the future value</em> is false

How is the present value related to the interest rate?. Which one is true?

  • c) is directly related to the interest rate, or
  • d) increases as the interest rate decreases

The present value is calculated discounted the future value at the interest rate. The interest rate is in the denominator of the equation to pass from future value to present value. Thus, they are inversely related (c is false); the less the interest rate, the higher the present value of a future amount (confirm d is true).

Therefore, the correct answer is that <em>the present of a lump sum future amount: </em><em><u>d) increases as the interest rate decreases.</u></em>

Answer:

The value of the firm according to M&M Proposition I with taxes is $513,824.62

Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

The answer is option B)  According to the Lewis two-sector model the creation of a Modern (urban) Sector will:

Create a flow of labor from the traditional sector into the modern sector.

Explanation:

The two sector model propounded by W. Arthur Lewis is a theory of development that identifies two sectors: the traditional and modern sector.

According to this theory, the creation of a modern sector will generate a flow of excess labor from the traditional sector to the urban sector where there is more demand for labor.

Over time, this migration will create more jobs, stimulate industrialization and a framework for sustainable development.
