6 0

Answer:

the approximate real interest rate = nominal rate - inflation rate = 6.5% - 1.3% = 5.2%

the exact real interest rate is calculated using the following formula:

(1 + nominal interest rate) = (1 + real interest rate) (1 + expected rate of inflation)

(1 + 0.065) = (1 + real interest rate) x (1 + 0.013)

1 + real interest rate = (1 + 0.065) / (1 + 0.013) = 1.065 / 1.013 = 1.05133

real interest rate = 1.05133 - 1 = 0.05133 = 5.13%

A couple thinking about retirement decide to put aside $2,100 each year in a savings plan that earns 7% interest. In 10 years th
Marina86 [1]

Answer:

310,588.5

Explanation:

As is not said we can assume the 2,100 each year to be paid at the end of the year, and the 7% to be used as a compunded anually rate. So let´s first think just about the 2,100, as they are regulary payments, they can be seen as an anuity inmediate, the formula is as follows:

s_{n}=p*\frac{(1+i)^{n}-1 }{i}

where sn is the future value of the regular payments, i is the interest rate and n is the number of payments and p is the amount of regular payment so in this particular case we have:

s_{n}=2,100*\frac{(1+0.07)^{30}-1 }{0.07}

s_{n}==198,367.65

So now let´s think on the gift of 29,000 as it is paid on 10 years, there will remain 20 years with an investment rate of 7% compounded anually. so there we have the classic formula of future value

FV=VP*(1+i)^{n}

where FV is the future value, PV is the present value, i is the interest rate per period, and n is the number of periods. Again in this particular case we have:

FV=29,000*(1+0.07)^{20}

FV=112,220.85

so the total amont will be:

total=198,367.65+112,220.85

total=310,588.5

igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

Accounting loss of $5

Economic loss of $35

Explanation:

Accounting profit is the net of revenue and Explicit cost. Explicit costs are the cost which actually incurred or paid.

On the other hand the economic profit is the net of revenue, Explicit and Implicit costs. Implicit value is the opportunity costs of choosing the alternative.

Implicit cost = $30

Explicit cost = 90 + 115 = $205

Accounting Profit = Revenue - Explicit costs = $200 - $205 = ($5)

Economic Profit = Revenue - Explicit cost - Implicit cost = $200 - $205 - $30

Economic Profit = ($35)
