Which of the following is a comparative advantage?

Ordinary simple interest brings increased revenue to the lender. The general practice

densk [106]

Answer:

Exact = $34.5

Ordinary = $35

Explanation:

Given that :

Principal, P = $1500

Interest rate = 14% = 0.14

Number of days = 60

For exact :

Exact simple interest uses 365 days :

Simple interest = principal * rate * time

Simple interest = $1500 * 0.14 * 60 / 365 = 34.520547 = $34.5

For ordinary simple interest :

Simple interest = principal * rate * time

Simple interest = $1500 * 0.14 * 60 / 360 = $35

You want to buy a new car, but you can make an initial payment of only $1,200 and can afford monthly payments of at most $850. a

Leviafan [203]

Answer:

a. The maximum price you can pay for the car is $33,477.87.

b. The maximum price you can pay for the car is $39,411.78.

Explanation:

a. If the APR on auto loans is 12% and you finance the purchase over 48 months, what is the maximum price you can pay for the car? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)

This can be determined as follows:

Calculation of the Present Value (PV) of the monthly payments

To calculate, the formula for calculating the present value of an ordinary annuity is used as follows:

PV = P * ((1 - (1 / (1 + r))^n) / r) …………………………………. (1)

Where;

PV = Present value of the monthly payments = ?

P = Monthly payment = $850

r = monthly interest rate = annual percentage rate (APR) / 12 = 12% / 12 = 1%, or 0.01

n = number of months = 48

Substitute the values into equation (1) to have:

PV = $850 * ((1 - (1 / (1 + 0.01))^48) / 0.01)

PV = $850 * 37.9739594934803

PV = $32,277.87

Calculation of the maximum price you can pay for the car

Given in the question is initial payment of only $1,200.

The present value of the monthly payments calculated above is $32,277.87.

Therefore, we have:

Maximum price = Initial payment + Present value of the monthly payments = $1,200 + $32,277.87 = $33,477.87

Therefore, the maximum price you can pay for the car is $33,477.87.

b. How much can you afford if you finance the purchase over 60 months? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)

This can also be determined as follows:

Calculation of the Present Value (PV) of the monthly payments

To calculate this, we use equation (1) in part (a) above, change number f months to 60 and proceed as follows:

PV = Present value of the monthly payments = ?

P = Monthly payment = $850

r = monthly interest rate = annual percentage rate (APR) / 12 = 12% / 12 = 1%, or 0.01

n = number of months = 60

Substitute the values into equation (1) to have:

PV = $850 * ((1 - (1 / (1 + 0.01))^60) / 0.01)

PV = $850 * 44.9550384062241

PV = $38,211.78

Calculation of the maximum price you can pay for the car

Given in the question is initial payment of only $1,200.

The present value of the monthly payments calculated above is $38,211.78.

Therefore, we have:

Maximum price = Initial payment + Present value of the monthly payments = $1,200 + $38,211.78 = $39,411.78

Therefore, the maximum price you can pay for the car is $39,411.78.

If the government uses tax money to pay for long-term investments such as roads or other infrastructure, what happens to the eco

coldgirl [10]

Is this a theory type of question?

If it is and if it took place under president Calvin Coolidge then taxes likely would have gone up.

If you are talking about now, then investment might go up but in order to pay for it, the government will just print more money, so that taxes shouldn't go up.

I'd pick C.

TEA [102]

Answer: Four pies.

Explanation:

Marginal cost is the additional cost of producing one extra unit of a good or service.

From this graph we see the marginal cost rise when the first pie is produced and then it subsequently decreases as the second and third pie is produced which is where it reaches its lowest point.

From the fourth pie, the marginal cost begins to rise again which means the marginal cost begins to increase when the producer makes four pies.
