The pumping cost for delivering water from the Ohio River to Wheeling Steel for cooling hot rolled steel was $1.8 million for th
e first 4 years. An effective energy conservation program resulted in a reduced cost of $1.77 million in year 5, and $1.74 million in year 6, and amounts decreasing by $30,000 each year through year 10. What is the present worth of the pumping costs in year 0 at an interest rate of 6% per year
the monetary multiplier before this newly acquired checkable deposit was 1 / required reserve ratio = 1 / 20% = 5. Since the banks decided to increase the reserve ration to 25%, then the money multiplier will decrease to 1 / 25% = 4.
The monetary multiplier shows the money creating effect of the fractional banking system. E.g. you deposit $1,000 at bank A. Bank A will lend $750 to Bill. Bill then purchases a bike from Tom and Tom deposits the $750 in bank B. Bank B will then lend $562.50 to Sarah. Sarah purchases a TV from Alex, and Alex deposits the money in bank C. Then bank C will lend $421 to Frank, and the cycle goes on.
The answer is D. It’d be the same thing if your friend promised to buy you a necklace but then they didn’t. You wouldn’t be able to get mad because it wasn’t a set decision and you can’t accept a gift if it hasn’t been given yet so that terminates A and B.
