Answer:
B. Holly's statement is normative, but Ben's is positive.
Explanation:
Positive statements are based on objective deduction of what is, or was. It is based on facts. Ben's comment "an increase in the tax on beer will raise its price", is an example of positive statement.
Normative statements are subjective and based on individual values and judgement. In her statement Holly appears to be biased against drinking much. She says "taxes should be increased on beer because college students drink too much." Is a normative statement.
Answer: Proposal C
Explanation:
The way to solve this is to calculate the Present Values of all these payments. The smallest present value is the best.
Proposal A.
Periodic payment of $2,000 makes this an annuity.
Present value of Annuity = Annuity * ( 1 - ( 1 + r ) ^ -n)/r
= 2,000 * (1 - (1 + 0.5%)⁻⁶⁰) / 0.5%
= $103,451.12
Proposal B
Present value = Down payment + present value of annuity
= 10,000 + [2,200 * ( 1 - ( 1 + 0.5%)⁻⁴⁸) / 0.5%]
= 10,000 + 93,676.70
= $103,676.70
Proposal C
Present value = Present value of annuity + Present value of future payment
= [500 * (1 - (1 + 0.5%)⁻³⁶) / 0.5%] + [116,000 / (1 + 0.5%)⁶⁰]
= 16,435.51 + 85,999.17
= $102,434.68
<em>Proposal C has the lowest present value and so is best. </em>
