"If a loan of P dollars, at an interest rate of r percent per year compounded monthly, is payable in n monthly installments of m dollars each, then m is determined by the formula \small m=\frac{\frac{rP}{1,200}}{1-\left (1+\frac{r}{1,200}\right)^{-n}}. John and Sue took out loans whose monthly installments were determined using the formula above. Both loans had the same interest rate and the same number of monthly installments. John's monthly installment was what percent of Sue's monthly installment? (1) The amount of Sue's loan was 4 times the amount of John's loan. (2) Sue's monthly installment was 4 times John's monthly installment. "
Answer:
John's monthly installment was 25% of Sue's monthly installment.
Explanation:
The problem gives us the following data:
Sue's monthly installment was 4 times John's monthly installment.
if we wrote this as an equation we would get that:
[tex]m_{S}=4m_{J}[/tex]
where:
[tex]m_{S}[/tex]= Sue's monthly installment
[tex]m_{J}[/tex]= John's monthly installment
in order to find what percent of Johns monthly installment represented regarding Sue's monthly installment, we would need to find the following ratio.
[tex]percent=\frac{m_{J}}{m_{S}}*100\percent[/tex]
Therefore:
[tex]percent=\frac{m_{J}}{4m_{J}}*100\percent[/tex]
or:
percent=25%
If you wanted to use the given formula, you could also do that. Notice that the formula tells us that the monthly installments are proportional to the loan in dollars, so we get the following:
[tex]m=\frac{\frac{rP}{1,200}}{(1-(1+\frac{r}{1200})^{-n}}[/tex]
so we can use it to build our ration:
[tex]\frac{m_{J}}{m_{S}}*100\percent=\frac{\frac{\frac{rP_{J}}{1,200}}{(1-(1+\frac{r}{1200})^{-n}}}{\frac{\frac{rP_{S}}{1,200}}{(1-(1+\frac{r}{1200})^{-n}}}*100\percent[/tex]
Since most of the data remains constant and the monthly installments are proportional to the original amount of the loan, that ratio can be simplified to:
[tex]\frac{m_{J}}{m_{S}}*100\percent=\frac{P_{J}}{P_{S}}*100\percent [/tex]
So, the problem tells us that the amount of Sue's loan was 4 times the amount of John's loan, so:
[tex]P_{S}=4P_{J}[/tex]
so:
[tex]percent=\frac{P_{J}}{4P_{J}}*100\percent [/tex]
or:
percent=25%
Greenbaum Inc. sells a new product with a 2-year warranty. The company estimates that during the two years, the costs and related probabilities are: Year 1: $20,000 (40%) and $30,000 (60%); Year 2: $30,000 (70%); $20,000 (30%).The company's effective interest rate is 5%. Calculate the estimated warranty liability using the expected cash flow method.
Answer:
$49,252
Explanation:
Calculation to the estimated warranty liability using the expected cash flow method.
Estimated warranty liability =[($20,000 x .4)+($30,000 x .6) x 0.95238]+ [($30,000 x .7)+($20,000x .3) x 0.90703]
Estimated warranty liability =[($8,000+$18,000)×0.95238]+[($21,000+$6,000)×0.90703
Estimated warranty liability =($26,000×0.95238)+($27,000×0.90703)
Estimated warranty liability =$24,762+$24,490
Estimated warranty liability =$49,252
Therefore the estimated warranty liability using the expected cash flow method is $49,252

What is the intent of a Pigouvian​ tax? A. To encourage producers of a negative externality to increase production to the socially optimal level. B. To eliminate the force of the invisible hand in market transactions. C. To mandate by government fiat the reduction of production to the socially optimal level. D. To induce producers of a negative externality to reduce production to the socially optimal level.
Answer:
D
Explanation:
A good has negative externality if the costs to third parties not involved in production is greater than the benefits. an example of an activity that generates negative externality is pollution. Pollution can be generated at little or no cost, so they are usually overproduced. Government can discourage the production of activities that generate negative externality by taxation. Taxation increases the cost of production and therefore discourages overproduction. Tax levied on externality is known as Pigouvian tax.
Government can regulate the amount of externality produced by placing an upper limit on the amount of negative externality permissible
Coase theorem has been proposed as a solution to externality. According to this theory, when there are conflicting property rights, bargaining between parties involved can lead to an efficient outcome only if the bargaining cost is low
Another solution to negative externality is through the activities of charities. Charities can raise donations to limit or regulate the activities of firms that constitutes a negative externality.

Zoe, the owner of Zoe's Bakery, determines that, at her optimal level of production in the short run, P < ATC and P > AVC. In the short run, Zoe should: Group of answer choices raise the price until she has maximized her profits. continue to operate, as she is making an economic profit. continue to operate, even though she is taking an economic loss. shut down immediately, as she is taking an economic loss.
Answer: continue to operate even though she is taking an economic loss.
Explanation:
Since at Zoe's optimal level of production in the short run, the price is more than the average total cost and P > AVC, then she should continue to operate even though she is taking an economic loss.
This is because even though she's making loss as the price is less than the average total cost, since the price is greater than the average variable cost, then she should continue in operation. Assuming P < AVC, then the company should shutdown in this case as only th fixed cost is incurred.

Types of unemployment
structural unemployment is an unemployment that occurs as a result of changes in the economy. These changes can be as a result of changes in technology, polices or competition. Structural unemployment tends to be permanent.
Frictional unemployment: the period of time a person is unemployed from the period he leaves his current job and the time he gets another job. Eg. when a real estate agent who leaves a job in Texas and searches for a similar, higher-paying job in California.
Voluntary unemployment: e.g. worker at a fast-food restaurant who quits work and attends college.
Cyclical unemployment: it occurs as a result of fluctuations in the economy. Unemployment would be high in a downturn and low in a boom
If a large number of people are working underground, they would not be counted as part of the labour force and so the labour force would be smaller. This understates unemployment rate

Answer:
should specialize in the production of goods for which they have a lower opportunity cost of production than their trading partners
Explanation:
A country has comparative advantage in production if it produces at a lower opportunity cost when compared to other countries.
For example, country A produces 10kg of beans and 5kg of rice. Country B produces 5kg of beans and 10kg of rice.
for country A,
opportunity cost of producing beans = 5/10 = 0.5
opportunity cost of producing rice = 10/5 = 2
for country B,
opportunity cost of producing rice = 5/10 = 0.5
opportunity cost of producing beans = 10/5 = 2
Country A has a comparative advantage in the production of beans and country B has a comparative advantage in the production of rice
Country A should specialise in the production of beans and B should specialise in the production of rice

To combat rising insurance rates, a state formed a state-owned insurance company that operated exclusively within the state. The company provided insurance on the basis of premiums calculated according to a schedule of fees. Under the schedule, premiums for residents of a particular city were 25% higher than the premiums for any other municipality in the state. Forty percent of that city's residents were of Mexican descent compared with a state-wide Mexican-American population of approximately 15%. A Mexican-American citizen living in the city brings suit, alleging that the state insurance company's rate structure violates the Equal Protection Clause. Will the citizen's suit prevail
Answer:
No, Unless citizens show that Mexican-American citizens pay higher rates than similarly situated non Mexican-American citizens of that city.

The insurance premium rates differ for Mexican and American citizens. The residents of the city get 25% while other state residents receive 15%. A citizen may file successful law suit if he is able to prove that Mexican Americans get higher pay rates than non Mexican Americans.
