Answer:

504.15 million.

Please find the detailed answer as follows:

Explanation:

Consider the following calculations. The key to solve the exercise is to apply the formula of compound interest.

Present Value = 190/(1+.18)^1 + (190 -2)/(1+.18)^2 + (190 - 2 - 2)/(1+.18)^3 + + (190 - 2 - 2 - 2)/(1+.18)^4 = 504.15 million

Ralph buys a perpetuity due paying 500 annually. He deposits the payments into a savings account earning interest at an effectiv
Leto [7]

Answer:

X = 1523

Explanation

Perpetuity due = (C/r) + C. Where Annual payment C =500, Annual effective interest rate = 10%

Perpetuity due = (500/10%) + 500 = 5500

Value of perpetuity due will remain same after 10 years

Money in saving account can be calculated with FV of an Annuity due formula

FV = C*(1+r) *{(1+r) ^n−1} / r

Where n = 10 years

FV = 500*(1+10%) * {(1+10%)^10 - 1} / 10%

FV = 500*1.10 * [1.10^10 - 1 / 0.10}

FV = 550 * 1.5937424601/0.10

FV = 550 * 15.937424601

FV = 8765.58353055

FV = 8766

Total proceeds = 5500 + 8766 = 14266

Now this proceed is the present value for annual payment of X calculation  . Formula of the present value (PV) of annuity due: PV = X * [1- (1+r) ^-n / r] * (1+r) : Where  PV = 14266, Annuity payment X = ?, Interest rate r = 10%, Period of annuity = 20 years.

1.10^-20

PV = X * [1- (1+r)^-n / r] * (1+r)

14266 = X * (1 - (1+10%)^-20 / 10%) * (1+10%)

14266 = X * [1 - 0.14864362802/0.10]*1.10

14266 = X * [8.5135637198*1.10]

14266 = X * 9.3649

X = 14266 / 9.3649

X = 1523.347820051469

X = 1523

Michael is maximizing utility by consuming three colas at $3 a piece and four hot dogs. The last cola gave him 300 units of util
marusya05 [52]

Answer:

C. $5

Explanation:

Marginal utility is the benefit gained from consuming an additional unit of a product or service.

According to the question, Michael is maximizing utility when Marginal Utility / Price of colas is equal to Marginal Utility / Price of hotdogs. Marginal utility can thus be found by solving the following equation for X (the price of hot dog)

MU/P of Colas = MU/P of hot dogs

300/3 = 500/X

3/300 = X/500

X = (3/300) x 500

X = 0.01 x 500

X = 5

Hence, the price of each hot dog is $5.

Alenkasestr [34]
<span>Before, during, and after a sale, a selling strategy must focus on meeting a customers needs.

It is important when you are trying to sell a product or service to someone, that they see the benefits themselves. As a sales person your job is to make sure the product you have is meeting the customers needs fully because if they don't see that, they won't make the purchase. As a customer, whenever I buy a product I run down a list of ways it will benefit me or why I need it.
