When a monopolist can perfectly price discriminate, it follows that

Your uncle offers you a choice of $115,0 in 10 years or $52,000 today, if the money is discounted at 9%, which should you do ose

Zarrin [17]

Answer:

1) we would choose the second offer i.e. $52,000 today

2) For A) 10 years at 10%

Future value = $151,405.53

For B) 15 years at 9%

Future value = $278,928.70

Explanation:

1) Future value = $115,000

Time, n = 10 years

Discount rate, r = 9% = 0.09

Now,

Present value of the money provided after 10 years

= Future Value ÷ [ ( 1 + r )ⁿ ]

= $115,000 ÷ [ ( 1 + 0.09 )¹⁰ ]

= $48,577.24

Since,

The Present value of $115,000 is less than the money to offered today i.e $52,000

Hence, we would choose the second offer i.e. $52,000 today

2) Payment per period = $9,500

Future value = Yearly Payment × [ { ( 1 + r ) ⁿ - 1 } ÷ r ]

Thus,

For A) 10 years at 10%

Future value = $9,500 × [ { ( 1 + 0.1 )¹⁰ - 1 } ÷ 0.1 ]

= $151,405.53

For B) 15 years at 9%

Future value = $9,500 × [ { ( 1 + 0.09 )¹⁵ - 1 } ÷ 0.09 ]

= $278,928.70

You deposit $1,100 at the end of each year into an account paying 9.1 percent interest.

vlabodo [156]

Answer:

a.

The money that we will have in account is $51156.41

b.

The money that we will have in account is $318808.31

Explanation:

a.

The deposits made in the account represent an annuity pattern as the deposits made are of a constant amount, are made after equal interval of time and are for a defined time period. Thus, to calculate the value of money that we will have after 19 years, we will use the formula for the future value of annuity.

The formula for the future value of annuity is attached.

FV = 1100 * [ (1+0.091)^19 - 1 / 0.091 ]

FV = $51156.41178

b.

The same formula for the future value of annuity will be used and we will change n from 19 to 38.

FV = 1100 * [ (1+0.091)^38 - 1 / 0.091 ]

FV = $318808.3149

Jeff deposits $3,000 into an account which pays 5 percent interest, compounded annually. At the same time, Kurt deposits $3,000

VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

Kurt will have a smaller account value than Jeff will

Explanation:

The formula for calculating future value = A (B / r)

B = [(1 + r)^n] - 1

Jeff : $3000 x [(1.05^3 - 1 ) / 0.05] = $9457.50

Kurt :$3000 x [(1.03^3 - 1 ) / 0.03] = $9272.70

Jeff would have a higher account value than Kurt
