Which of the following is a comparative advantage?

You have decided to buy a used car. The dealer has offered you two options: (FV of $1, PV of $1, FVA of $1, and PVA of $1) (Use

Marysya12 [62]

Answer:

1. In option (a), the dealer would charge $18,213.54.

b. In present value terms, the one-time payment (option (b) is a better deal for the purchaser.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Monthly payment for a used car = $620

Payment period = 20 months

Additional payment at the end of 20 months = $12,000

Annual interest rate = 24%

One-time payment for the car purchase = $16,864

From an online financial calculator, the present value of the payments is:

N (# of periods) 20

I/Y (Interest per year) 24

PMT (Periodic Payment) 620

FV (Future Value) 12000

Results

PV = $18,213.54

Sum of all periodic payments = $12,400.00

Total Interest = $6,186.46

You are looking to buy a car and you have been offered a loan with an APR of 5.7 %, compounded monthly. a. What is the true mon

lukranit [14]

Answer:

Monthly Interest rate = 0.475%

EAR = 5.85%

Explanation:

a.

APR = 5.7%

Monthly Interest rate = APR / n

Monthly Interest rate = 5.7% / 12

Monthly Interest rate = 0.475%

b.

APR = 5.7%

m = 12

EAR = [ ( 1 + (APR / m))^m] - 1

EAR = [( 1 + (0.057 / 12))^12] - 1

EAR = [( 1 + 0.00475 )^12] - 1

EAR = [( 1.00475 )^12] - 1

EAR = 1.0585 - 1

EAR = 0.0585

EAR = 5.85%

True monthly rate of interest is 0.475%

EAR is 5.85%

Blake eats two bags of generic potato chips each day. Blake's hourly wage increases from $ 8 to $ 15 , and he decides to stop ea

Oksanka [162]

Answer:

-3.28

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial quantity, Q1 = 2

Final quantity, Q2 = 0

Change in quantity = Q2 - Q1

= 0 - 2

= -2

Initial income, M1 = $8

Final income, M2 = $15

Change in Income = M2 - M1

= $15 - $8

= $7

Average quantity:

= (2 + 0) ÷ 2

= 1

Average income:

= (15 + 8) ÷ 2

= 11.5

Therefore,

Percentage change in quantity demanded:

= (Change in quantity demanded ÷ Average quantity) × 100

= (-2 ÷ 1) × 100

= -200%

Percentage change in income:

= (Change in income ÷ Average income) × 100

= (7 ÷ 11.5) × 100

= 60.87%

Income elasticity of demand:

= Percentage change in quantity demanded ÷ Percentage change in income

= -200 ÷ 60.87

= -3.28

nikitadnepr [17]

Answer: Sell before assembly, the company will be better off by $1 per unit.

Explanation:

To solve the above question, we need to calculate the incremental profit or loss first. This will be:

= After assembling sales value - Unassembled unit sales value - Coat if further processing

= $87 - $62 - $26

= -$1

Since there is an incremental loss of $1, then the correct answer is "Sell before assembly, the company will be better off by $1 per unit".
