Several years ago, The Wall Street Journal reported that the winner of the Massachusetts State Lottery prize had the misfortune

to be both bankrupt and in prison for fraud. The balance of the prize was $9,420,713, to be paid in 19 equal annual installments (There were 20 installments, but the winner had already received the first payment). The bankruptcy court judge ruled that the prize should be sold off to the highest bidder and the proceeds to be paid to the creditors. If the interest rate was 8%, how much would you have been prepared to bid for the prize

Answer:

the present value of the annuity = $4,523,638

Explanation:

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

​Zane's Vanes is a service that restores old weather vanes. Zane has just spent​ $125 purchasing a​ 1920s-era weather vane which
VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

The marginal benefit from selling the vane without restoring it is $200.

Explanation:

Marginal benefits are the extra income a company can get from selling one additional unit of production.

Zane had already spent $250 in purchasing the vane and the restoration process.

Zane has two options:

  1. Sell the vane as it is for $200.
  2. Keep restoring the vane, spend $200 more and sell the vane for $500.

If Zane decides to sell the vane as it is, his marginal benefit will be $200. That would not be enough to cover his costs, this transaction will result in a $50 loss.

If Zane decides to continue the restoration, then his marginal costs will be $200 extra, but his marginal benefit would be $500. If he chose this option he could end up earning a $50 profit.

Elan Coil [88]

To limit the potential for war and other armed conflict, efforts by international bodies must be increased, particularly at United Nations well-known organization.

Many conflicts since the 1990s have been resolved either through UN mediation or through the action of third parties acting with UN support. Examples from the recent past include Nepal, Liberia, Burundi, the Sudan's north-south conflict, and Sierra Leone. A 40% decrease in conflict worldwide since the 1990s is attributed to UN peacemaking, peacekeeping, and conflict prevention activities, according to research. Many potential conflicts have been avoided through preventive action taken by the UN and other organizations. On the ground, 11 UN peace missions deal with post-conflict situations and implement peacebuilding strategies.

In about 30 nations or territories, the UN provides assistance in demining, including in Afghanistan, Colombia, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Libya, and the Sudan. Thousands of civilians are killed or injured each year by landmines. The UN also promotes full international participation in treaties relating to landmines and provides instruction on how to avoid danger, aids victims in becoming self-sufficient, and helps nations destroy stockpiled landmines.
