Answer:

b.1.08.

Explanation:

The computation of the present value index is shown below;

As we know that

Present Value Index = Present value of Net Cash Inflow ÷ Initial Cash outflow

where,

Initial investment = $420,000

And, the present value of net cash inflows are

Year        Cash Flow (in $)       PVF at 10%            Present Value (in $)

1               180,000                   0.909                     163,620

2              120,000                   0.826                      99,120

3               100,000                  0.751                        75,100

4                90,000                   0.683                      61,470

5                90,000                   0.621                       55,890

TOTAL                                                                       455,200

So, the present value index is

= $455,200 ÷ $420,000

= 1.08

RSB [31]

Answer:

The correct answer is option d.

Explanation:

The net exports are calculated by deducting imports from exports. Imports of goods and services of a country from the US is exports for the US. So if the imports are declining it means exports from the US is declining. This would cause net exports to decline.  

Net export is a component of aggregate demand. The decline in net exports would cause aggregate demand to fall as well. Consequently, the aggregate demand curve would shift leftwards.
