Long-Life Insurance has developed a linear model that it uses to determine the amount of term life insurance a family of four sh

Answer:

$y=160.9$

Explanation:

<u>Linear Modeling</u>

Models are an important part of the study of a variety of natural phenomena in a great number of fields like science, health, business, human behavior, economics, among many others.

Once a model is determined, it can be used to estimate future values of important variables which in turn can help people to make decisions.

It has been determined a model that relates the amount of term life insurance a family of four should have with the current age of the head of the household. That model is

$y=165-0.1x$

we are required to estimate the amount of term life insurance to recommend to a family of four when the head of the household is x=41 years old. Let's plug in the given value in the equation

$y=165-0.1\cdot 41=165-4.1=160.9$

$\boxed{y=160.9}$

prohojiy [21]

Answer:

Yes, these facts are valid against Hannah which comes under Ratification Doctrine.

Explanation:

Here in the question its given that Hannah had allowed her friend to lend her computer for a one week period which was during her thanks giving break.

During those times Carol sold that laptop to a friend which was one of them in their class without asking hannah about this.

Now when after the break hannah and carol both return then carol told her that she had sold her laptop because she was getting an amount from the buyer which was too good to pass up so shesold it that moment.

Now when she gave that money to Hannah she instead of scolding her thanked her and her expression was seeming to be like she had done an awsome job for her.

So, based on the facts the contract was valid because it came under Ratification Doctrine.

A and B have a written contract whereby A agrees to sell B a plot of land for $100,000. Later, without terminating the first con

AnnZ [28]

Answer:

B) Is not a contract because there is no consideration for B's promise.

Explanation:

In contract law, consideration is the benefit that must be bargained for between the parties involved. It is the essential reason for the parties entering a contact. Consideration must have some value and is exchanged on the performance or promise from the other party.

Common law rules on contract modifications require some new consideration in order to modify an existing contract. In this case, only B added some new consideration (more money) to the written contract, A didn't add anything new.

Go to the internet and find a news article published within the last month that discusses changes in demand and supply of partic

Setler79 [48]

Answer: The explanation is provided below

Explanation:

Below article is the summary of the acceleration of inflation in the emerging markets that was published in 2018.

According to the article, inflation in an economy is caused by an adverse supply shock or as a result of the expansionary fiscal policy or the expansionary monetary policy.

In an adverse supply shock, total quantity of basic goods will reduce drastically causing the aggregate demand to rise exponentially and therefore, push prices higher and then gradually lead to inflation.

Also, the continous and eventual implementation of the expansionary fiscal or monetary policy through continous tax cuts or by increasing government spending or reducting interest rates, lead into significant increase in the aggregate demand and as a result, prices rise eventually resulting in hyperinflation in the economy. This will also lead to increase in the real GDP of the economy.

Different tools in the monetary policy framework can be used to control inflation such as government securities,

the cash reserve ratio, interest rates. To reduce recession, government utilize automatic stabilizer in order to boost the economy.

Suppose that five years ago you borrowed $300,000 using a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage with an annual interest rate of 10% with m

Elenna [48]

Answer:

Please check the explanation below.

Explanation:

Rate of Interest =10% or 0.83% monthly

Monthly Payment under this plan=PMT(0.0083, 360, 300000) =$2,632.71

Loan outstanding after 5 years of payments =$289,723

New Interest Rate =8.5% or 0.7083% monthly

Balance Tenure= 25 years

New Monthly Installment =PMT(0.007083,300,289723) =$2,332.93

Monthly savings in installment reduction =$2,632.71 - 2,332.93 =$299.78

a. Net present value of refinancing = -0.05x289,723 + 299.78x{(1-(1+0.007083)-300)/0.007083}

= -14,486.15 + 299.78x124.1886

= -14,486.15 + 37,229.25

= 22,743.10

b. With new monthly installment, balance outstanding at the end of 8th year =$278,258

Net Present Value of Refinance = -0.05x289,723 + 299.78x{(1-(1+0.007083)-36)/0.007083}

= -14,486.15 + 299.78x31.68

= -14,486.15 + 9,446.46

= -4,989.68

c. For refinance loan to have net present value positive, let n payments are required,

NPV = -0.05x289,723 + 299.78x{(1-(1+0.007083)-n)/0.007083}

14,486.15 = 299.78x{(1-(1+0.007083)-n)/0.007083}

14,486.15x0.00783/299.78 =(1-(1.007083)-n)

0.3423 = 1-(1.007083)-n

(1.007083)-n = 0.6577

(1.007083)n = 1.5204

Taking Log both sides,

n = log(1.5204)/log(1.007083)

n = 59.36

Hence, he would need to make 60 payments for making NPV of refinance as zero.
