Answer:

a. If the interest rate was 8%, how much would you have been prepared to bid for the prize?

this is an ordinary annuity:

annual payment = $9,420,713 / 20 = $471,035.65

number of periods = 19 periods

interest rate = 8%

therefore, the present value annuity factor = 9.6036

the present value of the annuity = $471,035.65 x 9.6036 = $4,523,637.97 ≈ $4,523,638

b. Enhance Reinsurance Company was reported to have offered S4.2 million. Use Excel to find the return that the company was looking for.

using the IRR function in Excel, the return that Enhance was looking for was 9.05%

Consider two neighboring island countries called Felicidad and Bellissima. They each have 4 million labor hours available per mo
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

Bellisima's opportunity cost:  

  • Production of corn per million hours of labor = 12 / 24 = 0.5 pairs of jeans of corn
  • Production of jeans per million hours of labor = 24 / 12 = 2 bushels of corn

Felicidad's opportunity cost:  

  • Production of corn per million hours of labor = 8 / 32 = 0.25 pairs of jeans of corn
  • Production of jeans per million hours of labor = 32 / 8 = 4 bushels of corn

Felicidad has a comparative advantage int he production of corn while Bellisima has a comparative advantage in the production of jeans.

If both countries specialize:

  • Felicidad will produce 128 million bushels of corn.
  • Bellisima will produce 48 million pairs of jeans.

Total production of corn has increased by 24 million bushels.

Total production of jeans has increased by 12 million pairs.

Assuming that Bellisima trades 26 million pairs of jeans and Felicidad exchanges 78 million bushels of corn, then:

  • Felicidad's consumption of jeans will increase by 2 million pairs, while their consumption of corn will increase by 50 million bushels.
  • Bellisima's consumption of jeans will increase by 10 million pairs, while their consumption of corn will increase by 6 million bushels.

How do macroeconomists distinguish between nominal and real values of​ variables?
lesantik [10]

I believe the answer is: c. nominal variables are measured in market​ prices; real variables are measured in quantities of goods and services.

the nominal value of a certain good would be fluctuated (could either increased or decreased) depending on the power of the supply and demand in the market. the real value on the other hand is valued using the price of a base year.
