Lwando owns a delicatessen, namely Foodies Paradise. Lwando has determined that he needs R5 000 cash per day for customer transactions. Lwando has a choice between going to the bank first thing on Monday morning to withdraw R25 000 - enough cash for the whole week - or going to the bank first thing every morning for R5 000 each time. Lwando puts the cost of going to the bank at R6 per trip. Assume that funds left in the bank earn precisely enough interest to keep their purchasing power unaffected by inflation. Lwando's delicatessen is open 5 days a week for 48 weeks each year. If Lwando goes to the bank every day when the inflation rate is 5%, then the daily trips to the bank would result in net and Lwando's annual shoe leather costs of inflation equal_. Select one: a. loss of R652; R1 152 O b. savings of R652; R1 152 loss of R500; R1 440 d. savings of R500; R1 440
8. Sea la función de producción Q(K,L) = (Ki + 2 L), donde K es la cantidad utilizada de capital y L es la cantidad utilizada de trabajo. (a) Demuestre que la ecuación funcional Q(K, L) = Q(6,5) define a K como función de L en un entorno del punto (6, 5). (b) Si la cantidad utilizada del input L aumenta 1 unidad, ¿cuánto tiene que aumentar o disminuir la cantidad empleada del input K para mantener la producción constante? (c) Si la cantidad empleada del input L aumenta un 1%, ¿cuánto tiene que aumentar o disminuir la cantidad empleada del input K para mantener la producción constante?
Hua Xing runs a lawn care service. Buying an additional riding lawn mower will cost $3,000 but would allow her firm to earn $1,000 of additional revenue each year for the next four years. She expects marginal efficiency of capital to be at least 10%. Which statement is an accurate description of this investment opportunity? a) Hua Xing should make the investment because turning $3,000 into $4,000 provides a rate of return of 33%. b) Hua Xing should not make the investment because it has a negative net present value. c) Hua Xing should not make the investment because it provides only a 5.16% return on investment. Od) Hua Xing should make the investment because the internal rate of return exceeds 10%.
When analyzing how borrowing and lending affect the consumer's budget constraint, we measure spending in the current time period on the horizontal axis and spending in the future time period on the vertical axis. Assume that the interest rate at which the consumer can lend and borrow is 10%, income in period 1 is $1000 and income in period 2 is $1200. The point of maximum current consumption can be expressed as 1000+ 1200/1.1. 1000(1.1) + 1200. 1000+ 1200 + .1 1000/1.1 + 1200/1.1 + 1.
Please do your own work, don't copy from the internet Q2) 2, You invest $3,000 for three years at 12 percent. a. What is the value of your investment after one year? Multiply $3,000 × 1.12. b. What is the value of your investment after two years? Multiply your answer to part a by 1.12. c. What is the value of your investment after three years? Multiply your answer to part b by 1.12. This gives your final answer. Combine these three steps by using the formula to find the future value of $3,000 in 3 years at 12 percent interest.
Suppose a person has a total credit card debt of $1,100 that has a 11 % yearly interest rate. This person also has a savings account with $5,500 that pays 1 % interest per year. Despite the net loss, the person keeps both. Calculate how many times the person appreciates the $1 of savings more than $1 of credit card debt if the person relates similarly to both values of percent paid and received, Enter your answer in the box below and round to two decimal places if necessary.

A college professor is planning for his retirement years. His utility function is u(c¿, C7) = 3cº5 + 2c5, where c; represents his consumption today (period 1), his active years of teaching, and c, represents his consumption in his retirement years (period 2). During his active years of teaching, he makes a total of Ł3 million, while in his retirement years his total income is Ł1 million. He can borrow or lend at an interest rate of 25% between the two periods. .0.5 a. Write an equation that describes the professor's budget assuming he will spend all his income during his lifetime. b. If the professor chooses neither to borrow nor to lend during his active years, what will be his marginal rate of substitution between his consumption today and his retirement years? c. If the professor aims at maximizing his utility, how much does he consume in each period (use the Lagrangian method)? Does he save for his retirement years? If so, how much? d. At what interest rate would the professor…
