Answer:

price floor , binding

price ceiling binding

price floor , non binding

Explanation:

A price floor is when the government or an agency of the government sets the minimum price of a product. A price floor is binding if it is set above equilibrium price.

Price ceiling is when the government or an agency of the government sets the maximum price for a product. It is binding when it is set below equilibrium price

Because firms are unable to hire workers due to the minimum wage laws., it means it is binding price floor

Equilibrium price is $3 and the maximum price is $2.70 . Thus, it is a binding price ceiling

Equilibrium price is $3 and the minimum price is $2.70 . Thus, it is a binding floor

What would happen to the buying power of your investment after one year if your rate of return was 8% and the rate of inflation

nekit [7.7K]

As long as the rate of return is bigger than the inflation, the value and amount of money will increase and so will the purchasing power: the correct answer is "it will increase".

For example, if you invest 100 dollars, you will receive 108 dollars back, and you'd need 103 dollars to have the same value of money as before - but you have more.

You want to buy a new sports coupe for $74,500, and the finance office at the dealership has quoted you a loan with an APR of 6.

Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

a) Monthly payments = $22,969.38

b) Effective rate of return= 7.12%

Explanation:

<em>Loan Amortization: A loan repayment method structured such that a series of equal periodic installments will be paid for certain number of periods to offset both the loan principal amount and the accrued interest. </em>

The monthly installment is computed as follows:

Monthly installment= Loan amount/annuity factor

Loan amount; = 74,500

Annuity factor = (1 - (1+r)^(-n))/r

r -monthly rate of interest, n- number of months

r- 6.9%/12 = 0.575 % = 0.00575, n = 36 =

Annuity factor = ( 1- (1+00575)^(-36)/0.00575= 32.434

Monthly installment = Loan amount /annuity factor

= 74,500/32.434= 22,969.38

Required monthly payments = $22,969.38

Effective annual interest rate

Effective rate of return = ((1+r)^n- 1) × 100

where r - monthly interest rate- 6.9%/12 = 0.575%

n- number of months= 12 months

Effective rate of return - (1+00575)^(12) - 1× 100= 7.12%

Effective rate of return= 7.12%

Flannery Corporation owns machinery with a book value of $520,000. It is estimated that the machinery will generate future cash

Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

(d)$105,000.

Explanation:

Since the book value is more than the generated future cash flows so book value cannot be recovered. In this case, the generated future cash flows are ignored

In this scenario, we compare the values between book value and the fair value of machinery, the difference would be the loss on impairment of the asset

In mathematically,

= Book value of machinery - fair value of machinery

= $520,000 - $415,000

= $105,000

A financial analyst is in the process of reviewing four investments projects for one of his clients. The net present cash values

inysia [295]

Answer:

Consider the following calculation

Explanation:

All projects having positive NPVs, thus all projects are feasible.

(All figures are in $' million)

Funds required to invest in all projects are

First year = 6 + 2 + 4 + 10 = 22 & available fund for first year is only 20.

Second year = 8 + 4 + 8 + 6 = 36 & available fund for second year is only 13.

In these type of situations we use Profitability Index to decide which projects are selected and which are to be skipped.

Profitablilty index = PV of cash inflow/ PV of cash outflows

But in this such information is not given to calculate Profitability index, thus we are calculating here NPV per One $ of investment.

thus NPV per One $ of investment = NPV of project / Investment in Project

Note: We are taking here value of investment in project for both two year with out taking effect of time value of money as no discount rate is provided in the question.

CHECK THE EXCEL ATTACHED

Total fund available with investor = 20+13 = 33

Total fund required for Project 4 & Project 1= 16 + 14 =30

thus he can invest in only project 4 & Project 1, for investing in next profitable project i.e. project 2 he requires $6 million but he has only $3 million in his hands.

Thus the optimal solution for the client is to invest in Project 4 & Project 1.

Thus Funds available in first year = 20, Investment in First year = 10+6 = 16, Funds remains in hand =4

Funds available in second year = 4+ 13= 17, Investment in second year =6+8= 14, funds remains in hand = 3

NPV from total investment = 80 + 50 = 130
