Answer:

B. $1,639 ​

Explanation:

To do arbitraje we will ask at Bank A for $0.305

and then bid in Bank B at $0.306

As the transactions has no cost we are doing a profit by using the exchange as they allowed. Doing this procedure will at some point eliminate the difference in exchange rate for these bank as the purchase will rise the ask rate for Bank A and the sale will decrease the bid rate.

500,000 \times \frac{0.306}{0.305}

Total: 501639,3442622951

The profit will be for: 501,639.34 - 500,000 = 1,639.34

What is the present value of the cost of leasing?

Answer:

Cost of lease = $37,179.01

Explanation:

Leasing is a finance arrangement where one party (the lessor) transfers the right to use an asset to another party (the leasse) in exchange for a rent.

The cost of a lease to the leasee is the present value of the future lease payment  discounted at the cost of capital.

So using the present value of annuity formula, we can work out the cost of the lease arrangement as follow:

PV =A×  (1- 1+r)^(-n)/r

PV- Present Value

r- interest rate

n- number of years

A- annual lease payment

PV -

A-7,800

r-7%

n-6

PV = 7,800× (1- (1.07)^(-6)/0.07 =  37,179.01  

Present Value = $37,179.01

Cost of lease = $37,179.01

Parts of the retail industry in which a small number of businesses control a large portion of the market represent __________.
solniwko [45]

The answer to your question is "Oligopolies."

An oligopoly is a market form where a market is controlled by a few large sellers or businesses.  The type of market is going to effect the price in one of two ways.  The first possibility is that the few businesses will work together, or collude, in order to establish higher than normal prices.  The second possibility is that there will be fierce competition between the few sellers, which will result in a high level of competition and lower prices.

Consider two goods--one that generates external benefits and another that generates external costs. A competitive market economy
KiRa [710]

Answer:

Produce more of the good that generates external cost and less of the good that creates external benefit.

Explanation:

External benefits refer to the situation where the benefit of production of goods or services goes to a third party that is not directly involved in the process of production.  

Similarly, external cost refers to the situation where the cost of production of goods and services is borne by a third party which is not directly involved in the process of production.  

A competitive market economy would tend to produce more of the good that generates external cost and less of the good that creates external benefit. This is because in case of external cost the private cost will be lower than social cost, so the firms will be able to produce more of the good.
