Answer:

The slope of the demand curve at point A is  - $0.40/unit

The slope of the demand curve at point B is - $0.14/unit

Explanation:

See the file attached with the figure corresponding to this question.

The slope of a curve at a given point is the slope of the line tangent to the curve at that point.

Point A:

The tangent line to the demand curve at point A is drawn and passes through the points (20, 34) and (45, 24).Then, the slope is:

slope = rise / run = ΔP / Δq = $ (34 - 24) / (20 - 45) units

slope = - $10 /25units = - $2/5units = - $0.40/unit.

The minus sign indicates the that price decreases when the quantity increases

Point B:

The tangent line to the demand curve at point B passes through the points (90, 12) and (140, 5).Then, the slope is:

slope = rise / run = ΔP / Δq = $ (12 - 5) / (90 - 140) units

slope = - $7 /50units = - $7/50units = - $0.14/unit.

Again, the negative sign indicates that when the number of units increase the price decreases.

Annuity payments are assumed to come at the end of each payment period (termed an ordinary annuity). However, an exception occur

o-na [289]

Answer:

The future value of a 18-year annuity of $2,000 per period where payments come at the beginning of each period is $59,078.

Explanation:

We apply the formula to calculate future value of annuity to find the future value of 18-year annuity as at the beginning of year 18 ( because payment comes at the beginning of the year):

2,000/5% x (1.05^18 -1) = $56,264.77.

We further compound the future value of 18-year annuity as at the beginning of year 18 for one period to come up with the future value of this annuity as at the end of 18 year time:

56,264.77 x 1.05 = $59,078.

So, the answer is $59,078.
