Rate of return = 7.25 % = 0.0725
Present value = ?
Computation of Present value:
Present value = Payment received each year / Rate of return
= $125,000 / 0.0725
= $1724137.93
Present value = $1724137.93
Present value = $1,724,138 (approx)

Answer:
By producing a product with a lower opportunity cost
Explanation:
Given that the law of comparative advantage states that a nation is better off when it produces goods and services for which it has a comparative advantage.
To obtain a comparative advantage means "By producing a product with a lower opportunity cost."
This implies that while many nations can produce the same products, a particular nation will have the comparative advantage over other nations if its opportunity cost of producing that specific product is quite lower compared to other nations that ks capable of producing the same product.
In simple interest, the interest rate is
i=(10500-9000)/9000=16.67%
In compound interest, compounded monthly,
10500=9000(1+i/12)^12
=>
APR=12(10500/9000)^(1/12)-1
=11.155%
(effective interest is still 16.67%)
The increasing returns would be a situation in which the
firm increases their workforce and other inputs in a matter of having to
increase the workforce by five percent and having to increase the output in a
total of eight percent.
