Explanation:
The formula for calculating future value:
FV = P (1 + r) nm
FV = Future value
P = Present value
R = interest rate
m = number of compounding
N = number of years
Present value value is the sum of discounted cash flows
Present value can be calculated using a financial calculator
Cash flow from year 0 to 3 = 6000
I = 9%
PV = 21,187.77
FV = 21,187.77 X (1,09)^4
To find the PV using a financial calculator:
1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
2. after inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
3. Press compute
Answer:
Explanation:
Dividends through year 1 to 5:
D1 = 2.15*(1+0.30)^1 = 2.80
D2 = 2.15*(1+0.30)^2 = 3.63
D3 = 2.15*(1+0.30)^2 * (1+0.18)^1 = 4.29
D4 = 2.15*(1+0.30)^2 * (1+0.18)^2 = 8.58
D5 = 2.15*(1+0.30)^2 * (1+0.18)^3 = 12.86
PV (D1) = 2.80
PV (D2) = 3.63 *PVIF = 3.63 * 0.87719 = 3.19
PV (D3) = 4.29 * 0.76947 = 3.30
PV (D4) = 8.58 * 0.67497 = 5.79
PV (D5) = 12.86 * 0.59208 = 7.62
Total of all PV's = 22.69
Answer:
The operators have not violated the antitrust laws because they are only collaborating to lobby the government
Explanation:
The antitrust law in the U.S. can be described as a group of federal and state government laws enacted to regulate the activities of business firms in order to enhance competition to the advantage of consumers.
The antitrust law aims to collusive activities that suppress trade, any merger and acquisition that would reduce competition, and prevent the the abuse of monopoly power.
Since the activity of the operators of adult bookstores does not fall under what the antitrust law aims to prevent but it is just a collaboration to lobby the government, they have a good defense that they have not violated the antitrust laws.
Answer: Producer price index
Explanation:
The producer price index is used to know the average differences in prices that are received by local producers for their output.
To calculate the producer price index, the current prices gotten by the sellers of a good or service is divided by the prices of the good or service using a base year and multiplying the result by 100. The producer price index is also a measure of inflation in an economy.
