- assume that $1 one year from now is worth $0.90 today, and $1 two years from now is worth $0.75 today. Dollars can be bought and sold at these prices. There are no transaction costs.A firm anticipates that it will have a surplus of dollars one year from now but a shortage two years from now. The present value of the surplus of dollars that is forecast for one year from now is $2,000. What is the amount of the surplus in terms of dollars available in one year?arrow_forwardIn this exercise, we develop a model for the growth rate G, in thousands of dollars per year, in sales of a product as a function of the sales level s, in thousands of dollars.† The model assumes that there is a limit to the total amount of sales that can be attained. In this situation, we use the term unattained sales for the difference between this limit and the current sales level. For example, if we expect sales to grow to 4 thousand dollars in the long run, then 4 − s gives the unattained sales. The model states that the growth rate G is proportional to the product of the sales level s and the unattained sales. Assume that the constant of proportionality is 0.8 and that the sales grow to 2 thousand dollars in the long run. (a) Find a formula for unattained sales.(b) Write an equation that shows the proportionality relation for G.G =arrow_forwardA maker of mechanical systems can reduce product recalls by 25% if it purchases new packaging equipment.
