The correct answer is: an increase; fall; substitutes; decrease; complements; increase.
Explanation:
Technological improvement has lowered the cost of producing cell phone batteries. This reduction in the cost of production will cause the price of cell phone batteries to decline. Since batteries are used as inputs in the cell phone. The reduction in the price of inputs means that the cost of production would decrease. The firms will be able to supply more at the same cost. The supply, as a result, will increase. The supply curve will shift to the right. The price of cell phones will decline.
Cell phones and landlines are substitutes. They can be used in place of each other. A decrease in the price of cell phones would cause the demand for landlines to decrease as the consumers will prefer a cheaper substitute.
The cell phones and applications, however, are use complements. They are used together. So when the price of cell phones decrease and its demand increase, the demand for cell phone applications will increase as well.
Answer: $413.81
Explanation:
Price of a bond = Present value of coupon payments + Present value of face value
Coupon is a constant payment so is an annuity.
Coupon = 6% * 1,000 = $60
Price of bond = Present value of annuity + Present value of face value
= (Coupon * Present value interest factor of annuity (PVIFA), 27 periods, 15%) + (Face value / (1 + rate) ^ number of periods)
= (60 * 6.514) + (1,000 / (1 + 15%)²⁷
= $413.81
I am not entirely sure what a performance test is, but I can help with the others. A polygraph is a machine, used usually if you are in legal trouble, to see if you are lying. While results aren't 100% accurate, you typically can get a gage for if someone committed a crime. They are also rarely used for interviews, some companies want to see if people are lying on their resumes. Drug tests are tests that are given to most people with a job, and especially sports players. Companies especially like to test people for drugs, to see if they might be on an illegal drug that could cause them to work less efficiently. It also is a liability issue for the company if an employee is on an illegal drug. Drug tests are typically done at a lab, and you usually have to pee in a cup and have it get tested.
Answer:
$ 67,196
$132482
$88,727
$131,761
Explanation:
The formula for calculating future value:
FV = P (1 + r/m)^mn
FV = Future value
P = Present value
R = interest rate
N = number of years
m =number of compounding
$50,000 x ( 1 + 0.06/2)^10 = $67,196
$60,000 x ( 1 + 0.08/4)^40 = $132,482
$40,000 x (1 + 0.1/12)^96 = $88,727
$80,000 x ( 1 + 0.05 /12) ^120 = $131,761
