Answer:

The second option which 5 years to maturity exhibited a lower price of

$523.95  

Explanation:

In order to ascertain the option with lower, it is important we determine the price of each investment based on the fact the price of an investment opportunity today is the present value of its future cash flow is the maturity value of $1000 in both cases:

a.

PV=FV/(1+r)^n

PV=price of investment

FV=future value=$1000

r= 13.80%.

n=4 years

PV=$1000/(1+13.80%)^4

PV=$596.25

b.

PV=FV/(1+r)^n

PV=price of investment

FV=future value=$1000

r= 13.80%.

n=5 years

PV=$1000/(1+13.80%)^5

PV= $523.95

Luda [366]

Answer:

No, we can’t say

Explanation:

In this question, we are asked to decide if we can say that Guatemala’s standard of living grew more than that of the US’ standard of living between the years 1993 and 2003 given the pointers in the question.

We cannot say that this is correct because of the following reasons;

As observed from the question, the US growth rate was calculated between the years 1948-2003, which is indicative of a 55 year span. Now, comparing this with that of Guatemala, we can see that the span here is just 10 years I.e from 1993 to 2003.

Also, we were not provided with the population growth rate in both countries and this makes it difficult to judge which of the two countries have a better growth in terms of standard of living

Amount to receive by beneficiary = $250,000 - $25,000 = $225,000

Therefore, his beneficiary will receive $225,000.

How does supply and demand affect prices?
irakobra [83]
The higher the supply the lower the price will be and the higher the demand the higher the price will be. This means that they have an inverse relationship. In short, the more you need something the more you're willing to pay for it, and the less you need it the less you want to pay, and this is basically how the economy works when producing and selling.
