Nissan’s all-electric car, the Leaf, has a base price of $32,780 in the United States, but it is eligible for a $7500 federal ta

katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

Nissan's all-electric car, the Leaf

PV cost of Leaf Purchase = $16,529

PV cost of Leasing = $12,944.78

The company should lease the car.

Explanation:

a) Costs incurred to purchase the Leaf:

Base price $32,780

less Federal tax credit ($7,500)

Charging station 2,200

less 50% tax credit (1,100)

Cash paid $26,380

Sales value after 3 yrs (9,851) ( $26,380 - 40% of base discounted to PV)

Net PV Investment $16,529

b) Calculation of Discounted Present Values of Payments under Leasing, using online financial calculator:

PV (Present Value) $12,944.78

N (Number of Periods) 3.000

I/Y (Interest Rate) 10.000%

PMT (Periodic Payment) $4,200.00

Starting Investment $2,500.00

Total Principal $15,100.00

Total Interest $2,129.50

c) The purchase of the Leaf would involve a present value cost of $26,380 after deducting all the savings from tax. The 40% sales value of the car at the end of 3 years = $13,112 ($32,780 x 40%). When this sales value is discounted to PV of $9,851, the PV of the car investments becomes $16,529 ($26,380 - $9,851). On the other hand, leasing will cost in PV the sum of $12,944.78

scoundrel [369]

Answer: Keynesian Economic Theory

Explanation: The policy adopted by the President was to cut back taxes and increase government spending on road, bridges and schools. This policy of the government is called the expansionary fiscal policy which is used to combat an economy suffering from recession. The Keynesian theory also supports the argument that when an economy is suffering from recession, economic output is influenced by aggregate demand. Thus, the government and use its fiscal policy tools to bring the economy out of recession. It also supports that the Fed can also use its monetary policy to bring the economy out of recession. But since here taxes and government spending are uses, we can say that Obama was a proponent of Keynesian Economic theory.

At a growth (interest) rate of 8 percent annually, how long will it take for a sum to double? To triple? Use Appendix A for an a

Yanka [14]

Answer:

n = ㏒ P ÷ ㏒ (1.08)

Explanation:

Compound interest rate

A = P × $(1 + r)^{n}$

where

P = principal amount (the initial amount you borrow or deposit)

r = annual rate of interest (as a decimal)

A = amount of money accumulated after n years, including interest.

n = number of years

Since we want the principle amount to double i.e., A = 2P

put this in above equation

2P = P × $(1 + r)^{n}$

divide both sides by P, we get

P = $(1 + r)^{n}$

put r = 0.08

P = $(1 + 0.08)^{n}$

P = $(1 .08)^{n}$

Taking log on both sides

㏒ P =㏒ $(1 .08)^{n}$

㏒ P = n ㏒ (1.08)

n = ㏒ P ÷ ㏒ (1.08)
