- Well-managed companies set aside money to pay for emergencies that inevitably arise in the course of doing business. A commercial solid-waste recycling and disposal company in Mexico City puts 0.5% of its after-tax income into such an account. (a) How much will the company have after 7 years if after-tax income averages $15.2 million and inflation and market interest rates are 5% per year and 9% per year, respectively? (b) What will be the buying power of that amount in today’s dollars?arrow_forwardNo tables, only formulas, please correct answer; (i) ? = 0.048033??, (ii) ? = 0.12683??,(iii) ?^(2) = 0.048227 ??arrow_forwardOne of the concerns of economists and policy makers is the share of the labor factor in the total income of the economy. Differently, what part of the GDP goes to the workers and what part of the GDP goes to the owners of the companies. A growth in income inequalities should translate into a ** drop * in the labor factor. GDP data in terms of income allows us to see what is happening in the case of Canada. kt = i + (1 – 8)k;-1 %3D Yt = At · k1 Ct = (1 – s) · Yt Yt = C + i %3D R = a A¿'• k 1 (a-1) wi = (1 – a) · Yt %3D where kt is the stock of productive capital per worker at the end of period t, yt ,ct and it represent GDP, consumption, and investment in productive capital, Rt is the interest rate in the economy and wt is the salary. At is the level of productivity in the economy and is considered exogenous, as is the share of capital in production a and the household s savings rate.

- A self-employed chemical engineer is on contract with Dow Chemical, currently working in a relatively high-inflation country. She wishes to calculate a project’s PW with estimated costs of $35,000 now and $7000 per year for5 years beginning 1 year from now with increases of 12% per year thereafterfor the next 8 years. Use a real interest rate of 15% per year to make the calculations(a) without an adjustment for inflation and (b) considering inflation at a rate of 11% per year.arrow_forwardContinental Airlines operates in and out of many countries. Country A has a low inflationrate of 3% per year while country B has a high rate of 30% per year. A $1 million fund ismaintained in each country for emergency purchases to repair disabled aircraft.
