Answer:

c. supply will decrease.

Explanation:

If a good's production process results in pollution and the government taxes producers to pay for cleanup costs, then supply will decrease.

Generally, when consumers of a particular product notices that the product has an adverse effect on the environment (pollution) or it is a product that causes environmental degradation, they are most likely to stop demanding or buying such products. Consequently, as the demand for such goods falls or decreases; there would be a fall in the supply of such goods. This is so because the demand for goods and services is directly proportional to the amount of quantity supplied.

Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

Ans. He must save during each of the following 10 years, at the end of each year $32,452.

Explanation:

Hi, in order to find the amount of money that he should have in ten years so he can receive an annual payment of $65,156 for 25 more years (24 payments), we need to bring to present value all 24 payments to year 10. Let me show you the formula.

$PresentValue_{10} =\frac{A((1+r)^{n}-1) }{r(1+r)^{n} }$

Where:

A= $65,156

n= 24

r= 0.08

Therefore the present value in year 10 is:

$PresentValue_{10} =\frac{65,156((1+0.08)^{24}-1) }{0.08(1+0.08)^{24} }=686,012$

So that is our present value in year 10, or to put it in other words, our future value (if we look at it from year 0). Now we need to find the annuity (amount to save) that with account for $686,012, plus that $100,000 that he already has saved.

Every should look like this.

$686,012=100,000*(1+0.08)^{10} +\frac{A((1+0.08)^{10}-1) }{0.08(1+0.08)^{10} }$

And we solve this equation for "A".

$686,012=A(14.4865625)+215,892$

$A=\frac{(686,012-215,892)}{14.4865625} =32,452$

Best of luck.
