What is the present value of the cost of leasing?
Answer:
Cost of lease = $37,179.01
Explanation:
Leasing is a finance arrangement where one party (the lessor) transfers the right to use an asset to another party (the leasse) in exchange for a rent.
The cost of a lease to the leasee is the present value of the future lease payment discounted at the cost of capital.
So using the present value of annuity formula, we can work out the cost of the lease arrangement as follow:
PV =A× (1- 1+r)^(-n)/r
PV- Present Value
r- interest rate
n- number of years
A- annual lease payment
PV -
A-7,800
r-7%
n-6
PV = 7,800× (1- (1.07)^(-6)/0.07 = 37,179.01
Present Value = $37,179.01
Cost of lease = $37,179.01
Answer:
Generally speaking, demographic growth can affect the economy quite a lot, but the economy has a very little effect on demographic growth. E.g. the baby boomers were great for the economy during several decades, but there is no clear relationship between population growth and economic activity.
This means that companies like home builders whose demand depends on other factors besides the economy, will be less affected by economic recessions or expansions. E.g. the demographic growth in America was around 0.7% during 2019 and the economy was growing that year.
Actually, the US population has been declining over the last decades. The real growth factor in population has been immigration in the last decades, and that has also been declining lately.

Answer:
76 months
Explanation:
If Lisa only pays the $20 minimum monthly payment, it will take her 76 months to repay her debt (6 years and 4 months). She will also end up paying almost $540 in interest.
If you have a credit card it is never a good idea to pay only the minimum monthly payment since you will end up paying a lot of interest and usually other fees and charges apply.

The correct answer is letter "C": the United States becoming a transcontinental nation.
Explanation:
After <em>Texas </em>was declared independent from Mexico in 1836, issues arose since the U.S. did not want to annex the freed territory due to northern interests. Mexico became hostile in defining the frontiers after the independence of Texas at the point of threatening the U.S. to go on war if its demand was not fulfilled.
With an attack on American Soldiers by April 1846 in Texas, the war begun. Americans military power revealed superior to Mexicans winning the war in favor of U.S. President James K. Polk (1795-1849) who <em>believed the U.S. had to spread across the continent</em>.
<em>The effect of the war was California, Utah, Nevada, and Arizona being annexed to the U.S. territory.</em>
