b. 44.48 months

Explanation:

We need to sovle for n in a common annuity:

$C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\$

C $150.00

time n

rate 0.013416667 (0.161 / 12 months per year)

PV $5,000.0000

$150 \times \frac{1-(1+0.0134167)^{-n} }{0.0134167} = 5000\\$

$(1+0.0134167)^{-n}= 1-\frac{5000\times0.0134167}{150}$

$(1+0.0134167)^{-n}= 0.55277778$

We solve using logarithmics properties

$-n= \frac{log0.552777777777778}{log(1+0.0134166666666667)$

-n = -44.47953304

n = 44.48

A company that recently lost patent protection for a product may see an increased threat from which forces? g

Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

Threat of Substitutes
Threat of New entrants/ Competitors

Explanation:

This question relates to Porter's five forces.

A patent on a good protects that good from being able to be copied or produced by other companies.

Should a company lose this protection, companies will be allowed to make substitutes to the products without running afoul of the law. The company will therefore face an increased threat from Substitutes.

Other companies will also be able to produce the goods or offer the services now which would mean that new entrants/ competitors can come into the market for that good or service.

Jonathan purchased coffee for $5 at Jennifer's coffee shop, although he was willing to pay $9. Jennifer was willing to accept $3

dexar [7]

Answer:

1) Consumer surplus of $4

2) producer surplus of $2

Explanation:

1) The consumer surplus is the difference between the highest price a consumer is willing to pay and the actual market price of the good or service.

Consumer surplus = Maximum price willing to pay - actual price

Consumer surplus = $9 - $5

Consumer surplus = $4

2) The producer surplus is the difference between the market price and the lowest price a producer would be willing to accept.

Producer surplus = Total revenue - total cost.

Total revenue is the revenue received from selling.

Producer surplus = $5 - $3

Producer surplus = $2

Therefore, the results of the transaction between Jonathan and Jennifer are a consumer surplus of $4 and a producer surplus of $2.

Group of answer choices.

A. in new classical theory wages are assumed to be flexible, and in new Keynesian theory wages are assumed to be somewhat inflexible.

B. in new classical theory wages are assumed to be somewhat inflexible, and in new Keynesian theory wages are assumed to be flexible.

C. adaptive expectations is the dominant expectations theory in new classical theory, and rational expectations is the dominant expectations theory in new Keynesian theory.

D. in new Keynesian theory the short-run aggregate supply curve is vertical, and in new classical theory the short-run aggregate supply curve is upward sloping.

Answer:

A. in new classical theory wages are assumed to be flexible, and in new Keynesian theory wages are assumed to be somewhat inflexible.

Explanation:

The new classical theory (neoclassical view) posits that long-term expansion of potential Gross Domestic Products (GDP) due to economic growth will determine the size of a country's economy but the economy cannot sustain production above its potential Gross Domestic Products (GDP) in the long run.

John Maynard Keynes was a British economist born on the 5th of June, 1883 in Cambridge, England. He was famous for his brilliant ideas on government economic policy and macroeconomics which is known as the Keynesian theory. He later died on the 23rd of April, 1946 in Sussex, England.

According to the new Keynesian theory, government spending or expenditures should be increased and taxes should be lowered when faced with a recession, in order to create employment and boost the buying power of consumers.

Hence, the difference between the new classical theory (neoclassical view) and new Keynesian theory is that, in new classical theory wages are assumed to be flexible by economists while in new Keynesian theory wages are assumed to be somewhat inflexible.
