Answer:
The present value of the contract is 0.5% higher if the rent is paid at the beginning of the month. That is equal to $11.28 for every $100 of rent.
Explanation:
if the rent is paid at the beginning of the month, the present value of the lease contract will be:
PV = monthly rent x PV annuity due factor
we are not given the monthly rent, but we know the PV annuity due factor for 0.5% and 24 periods = 22.67568
if the rent is paid at the end of the month, the PV = monthly rent x PV ordinary annuity factor
the PV ordinary annuity factor, 0.5%, 24 periods = 22.56287
assuming that the rent is $100 (just to calculate a %), the PV of an annuity due = $2,267.57
the PV of an ordinary annuity = $2,256.29
the difference between them = [($2,267.57 / $2,256.29) - 1] x 100 = 0.5%

Answer:
Explanation:
The discount rate is the interest rates on loans that the Federal Reserves makes banks. Banks occasionally borrow from the Federal Reserve when they find themselves short on reserves. A higher discount rate decreases banks' incentives to borrow reserves from the Federal Reserve, thereby reducing the quantity of reserves in the banking system and causing the money supply to fall
The federal funds rate is the interest rate that banks charge one another for short term loans. When the Federal Reserve uses open-market operations to buy government bonds, the quantity of reserves in the banking system increases, banks' demand for borrowed reserves declines , and the federal funds rate decreases.
