Answer:

The requirement of the question is as below:

How much must Alan deposit on January 1? (Round your final answer to the nearest whole dollar amount.)  

What is the interest for the four years? (Round your final answer to the nearest whole dollar amount.)

Alan deposit on January 1 is $ 58,802.39  

Interest for four years is $21,197.61

Explanation:

The first is asking for today's worth of the investment,which is the amount to be invested,this can be computed using the present value as shown below:

PV=FV*(1+r)^-n

PV is the present value

FV is the worth of the investment in 4 years from now which is $80,000

r is the rate of return of 8%

n is the number of years of investment which is 4 years

PV=$80,000*(1+8%)^-4

PV=$80,0008(1+0.08)^-4

PV=$80,000*(1.08)^-4

PV =$ 58,802.39  

interest for four years=FV-PV

interest for four years=$80,000-$ 58,802.39  

                                    =$21,197.61

Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer: c. preventing a market that would generate mutually beneficial trades.

Explanation:

Zooey could argue that the policy of lunch trades is preventing a market that would generate mutually beneficial trades because if people were allowed to trade what they want for what they have with people who have what the first person wants and wants what the first person has, that can be beneficial to both of them.

It is not unlike the system of batter trading that existed before money where people traded what they had for what they wanted.

One should be very careful here though because there are multiple disadvantages involved such as kids exchanging away more nutritious food and food poisoning.
