Due to scarcity. There exist unlimited wants but only scarce amount of resources to meet those wants so items must be allocated through a system of prices or through exchange.
Answer:
Instructions are listed below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
A friend of Mr. Richards recently won a law suit for $30 million. They can either take the payments over 10 years or settle today for cash of $25 million. Mr. Richard is optimistic that he can earn a 6% return on the money and that they should settle for $25 million today and he will invest it for them.
First, we need to find the present value of the 30 million.
To do that we need to calculate the final value.
FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i
A= annual deposit
FV= {3,000,000*[(1.06^10)-1]}/0.06= 39,542,385
PV= FV/(1+i)^n= 39,542,385/1.06^10= 22,080,261
B) Now we know that the present value of option B is higher. One dollar today is better than one dollar tomorrow. It is better to receive the money now to invest it.
In the exact moment you run out of laundry detergent and realize you need to pick some up at the store, you are in the problem recognition stage of the buying decision process.
