Answer:

The interest rate is "21.999%".

Explanation:

The given values are:

Amount lent,

= 10,000

Amount repaid,

= 27,027

Years (n),

= 5

As we know,

⇒  Amount \ repaid = Amount \ lent\times (1+r)^n

On substituting the given values, we get

⇒                27,027=10,000\times (1+r)^5

⇒                  \frac{27,027}{10,000}=(1+r)^5

⇒                 2.7027=(1+r)^5

⇒                 1+r = (2.7027)^{(1/5)}

⇒                 1+r=1.21999

On subtracting "1" from both sides, we get

⇒          1+r-1=1.21999-1  

⇒                      r=0.21999

i.e.,

⇒                      r=21.999 \ percent

Let's consider the effects of inflation in an economy composed of only two people: Bob, a bean farmer, and Rita, a rice farmer.
34kurt

Answer:

See below.

Explanation:

Lets first calculate inflation using the formula for Consumer Price Index

Inflation for a good = (Year 2 price - Year 1 price / Year 1 price) * 100

Using the above formula we can calculate inflation when Beans = $2 and Rice = $6.

Inflation for Beans = (2-1/1) * 100 = 100%

Inflation for Rice = (6-3/3) * 100 = 100%

Since each of them use rice and beans in equal proportions we assign them weights of 0.5 each,

Inflation Total = 0.5 * 100 + 0.5 * 100 = 100%

We assume Bob and Rita form a transnational relation and as such neither is worse off because the exchange rate between them remains the same,

Exchange rate before inflation = 3/1 = 3, Bob can buy 1 Rice by selling Rita 3 Beans.

Exchange rate after inflation = 6/2 = 3, so Bob can still buy 1 Rice by selling Rita 3 Beans.

B) For Prices 2 and 4 we use the above formulas,

Total Inflation = (2-1/1)*100*0.50 + (4-3/3)*100*0.50 = 66.66%

Bob is better off and Rita Worse off as the exchange rate for Bob has improved He can acquire 1 Rice for 4/2 = 2 Beans instead of 3 he needed before. Rita needs to sell him more to maintain her consumption but since they always consume same amount, she is worse off.

C) For Prices 2 and 1.5.

Total Inflation = (2-1/1)*100*0.50 + (1.5-3/3)*100*0.50 = (50-25) = 25%

Bob is now worse off and Rita better off as the Exchange rate change has favored Rita. Rita now only needs to sell 1 rice to obtain 2/1.5 = 1.3 units of Beans. Bob will have to sell more to maintain his initial consumption level.

D)

Bob and Rita are more concerned with their rate of exchange which is the change in real terms. As long as the changes are proportional and there are no third actors in the economy model, the 2 agents are not affected at all. What matters to them is their transnational rate and not inflation on the whole in this case.

Hope that helps.

omeli [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is inertia.

Explanation:

Inertia is called in physics the resistance that bodies oppose to modify their state of motion or stillness, either to alter their speed, their course or to stop; although the term also applies to the modifications of your physical state.

A body, thus, requires a force that overcomes inertia to alter its trajectory, which would otherwise adhere to the laws of uniform rectilinear motion, or to initiate a movement, otherwise it would remain at rest. This, of course, considering that there is no rest or rectilinear and uniform movement in the universe, except based on a reference (observation) system. That is why it is preferred to speak of "relative rest."
