If a technological advance lowers production costs such that the quantity supplied increases by 60 units of this product at each
1 answer:
Answer:
$12
Explanation:
Please find attached the table used in answering this question
Equilibrium price is the price at which quantity demand equal quantity supplied. Above equilibrium price there is a surplus - quantity supplied exceeds quantity demanded.
Below equilibrium price there is a shortage - quantity demanded exceeds quantity supplied
When 60 is added to 190, it becomes 250. here quantity supplied equal quantity demanded. Thus, the equilibrium price is $12
When 60 is added to 100, it becomes 160. this is less than 295.At a price of $10, there is a shortage
When 60 is added to 265, it becomes 325. this is greater than quantity demanded - 135. at the price of $15, there is a surplus

Answer:
The investment that will have the highest future value is option b.
Explanation:
First lets suposse the effective annual rate is 10%
a. Future value= $2,500
c. First you must obtain the net present value of all cash flows with the formula attached, for example:
NVP= ($250/(1+10%)^1)+($250/(1+10%^2)+($250/(1+10%^3)... and so on until year 10
With the excel formula "NPV" you can calculate the net present value specifying the interest rate, the cash flows.
The NPV= $1,536.14
And then you calculate the future value of this answer with this formula:
VF=VP(1+i)^n
VF= $1,536.14*(1+10%)^10
VF=$3,984.36
b. If payments are due at the beginning of every year means that at year 0 you start with $250. You must calculate the NPV in this way
NPV= $250+($250/(1+10%)^1)+ )+($250/(1+10%^2)+($250/(1+10%^3)... and so on until year 10
NPV= $1,786,14
And then you calculate the future value of this answer:
VF= $1,786,14*(1+10%)^10
VF=$4,632.79
d. First, you must convert the annual interest rate into semi-annually interest
10% Annually effective is 4,88% Semi-anually effective
NPV=$125+($125/(1+4,88%)^1)+ )+($125/(1+4,88%^2)+($125/(1+4,88%^3)... and so on until period 20
NPV=$1,698.75
And then you calculate the future value of this answer:
VF= $1,698 *(1+10%)^10
VF=$4,405.37
The investment that will have the highest future value is option b.
