Answer:
B. 17 is the correct answer.
Explanation:
Answer:
$1,667
Explanation:
Given that,
Savings account at the beginning of the year = $2,000
Price level at the beginning of the year = 100
Price level at the end of the year = 120
Price level increases from 100 to 120
Therefore, what was worth $120 earlier, is not worth only $100.
Hence, $120 at the beginning of the year is worth = $100 at the end of the year
$1 at the beginning of the year is worth = ($100 ÷ $120) at the end of the year
Savings of $2,000 at the beginning of the year is worth:
= ($100 ÷ $120) × $2,000
= 0.833 × $2,000
= $1,667
Therefore, the real value of the savings is $1,667.
Answer:
PV = $78.46153 rounded off to $78.46
Explanation:
A perpetuity is an unlimited series of cash flows that are of constant amount and occur after equal intervals of time. As they are unlimited in number, we say that they are perpetual. A perpetual preferred stock can also be said to be in form of a perpetuity as it pays a constant dividend after equal intervals of time. To calculate the price of the preferred stock, we use the present value of perpetuity formula which is,
PV = Cash flow / r
Where,
- r is the required rate of return
PV = 5.1 / 0.065
PV = $78.46153 rounded off to $78.46
Answer:
A- A change in the technology used by firms.
Explanation:
A change in technology can affect the demand of products and services. It can lead to the increased demand for a certain product, reducing the demand for an older product.
With the use of technology to upgrade products and services, demand curves will continually shift, according to preferences of customers.
Technology could be used by firms to produce upgrades and newer variations of products at more favorable prices for customers than existing products. This leads to competition and the demand for the newer device goes up since people see the new product as 'getting more for less'. A good example is computers and tablets. Tablets which could match up with the work of computers were produced at lower prices. This shifted the demand towards tablets, making computers more obsolete.
Answer: (a) Fall
(b) Increase
(c) Increase
(d) Unchanged
Explanation:
Suppose there is a competitive market with a downward sloping demand curve and horizontal supply curve. In a competitive market there are large number of buyers and sellers. So, if there is a downward shift in the supply curve, as a result equilibrium price will fall, equilibrium quantity will increase, consumer surplus now become larger and producer surplus remains the same because of the horizontal supply curve.
