Answer:

Simple interest is calculated as a percentage of the principal amount and stays the same if the principal.amount and the percentage don't change.

However, the compound interest is based on accumulating the interest to the principal amount. That is, after a certain percentage is calculated as the interest, that interest is added to the principal amount and the next period's interest is based on the principal+the interest.

Answer:

Simple interest is based on the principal amount of a loan or deposit, while compound interest is based on the principal amount and the interest that accumulates on it in every period. Since simple interest is calculated only on the principal amount of a loan or deposit, it's easier to determine than compound interest

Suppose two cities are considering tearing down their stadiums to build new ones. In one city, the old stadium cost $5 million t
timofeeve [1]

Answer:

These are the options for the question:

A. They should be more willing to tear down the $5 million stadium, because it cost less to build.

B. They should be more willing to tear down the $50 million stadium, because it cost more to build.

C. The cost to build the old stadium shouldn’t be considered.

And this is the correct answer:

A. They should be more willing to tear down the $5 million stadium, because it cost less to build.

Explanation:

City A will likely be more willing to tear down its old stadium because it costed $5 million to build. City B, on the other hand, will have to think twice because a stadium that costed $50 billion to build could have more value than it seems, or the City could simply not have enough money to build a better new stadium (something that would probably cost more than $50 billion to do).

Assume that you purchased a $1,000 perpetual bond (coupon payment is $50) and the interest rate on that bond declined from 5 per
Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

D) all of the above

Explanation:

First find the present value for each alternative  using PV of perpetual cashflow formula;

PV = CF / rate

CF = 50

If rate= 5%;

PV = 50/0.05 = $1,000

If rate = 2%;

PV = 50/0.02 = $2,500

With these two calculations, we see that;

-the bond price increased by $1,500

-you could sell this bond at a capital gain, meaning you can sell it a higher price that what you bought it for.

-at an interest rate of 2%, the speculative demand for money would increase

Hence , all these choices are correct!
