The question is incomplete. The complete question is :
(a) Find the present and future value of an income stream of $8000 per year for a period of 10 years if the interest rate, compounded continuously, is . Round your answers to two decimal places.
Present value ___
Future value ___
b). How much of the future value is from the income stream? How much is from interest? Round your answers to two decimal places.
The amount from the income stream is __
The amount from the interest is ___
Solution :
Since the interest is compounded continuously, the formula used is :
[tex]$P=\int_0^{m} s(t)\ e^{-rt}\ dt$[/tex]
P = present value, B = future value
[tex]$B=Pe^{rt}$[/tex]
Given :
S = $ 8000, r = 4% = 0.04, m = 10
[tex]$P=\int_0^m \ 8000. e^{-0.04t} \ dt$[/tex]
[tex]$P=\int_0^{10} \ 8000. e^{-0.04t} \ dt$[/tex]
According to the fundamental theorem of calculus,
[tex]$\int_a^b f(x) = F(b) -F(a)$[/tex]
[tex]$\int e^{ax}\ dx = \frac{e^{ax}}{a}$[/tex]
[tex]$P=\int_0^{10} \ 8000. e^{-0.04t} \ dt$[/tex]
[tex]$P=8000 \times \left[ \frac{e^{-0.04t}}{-0.04}\right]^{10}_0$[/tex]
Uploading the limits,
[tex]$P=\frac{8000}{-0.04} \times \left[ e^{-0.04 \times 10} - e^{-0.04 \times 0} \right]$[/tex]
P = -200000 [-0.32967]
P = 65935.99
Therefore, Present value, P = $65936
[tex]$B=Pe^{rt}$[/tex]
[tex]$B=65936 \times e^{10 \times 0.04}$[/tex]
[tex]B= 98364.9[/tex]
So, future value , B = $ 98365
Amount of the future value from the income stream,
[tex]$=\int_0^m s(t) \ dt$[/tex]
[tex]$=\int_0^{10} 8000 \ dt$[/tex]
[tex]$=8000 \times [t]_0^{10}$[/tex]
= 8000 x 10
= $ 80000
Simply, S(t) x t = 8000 x 10 = $ 80,000
The difference between the future value and the value of future value from the income stream provides the future value from the interest.
B - 80,000 = 98,365 - 80,000
So, the future value from the interest = $ 18,365
If a business is using factors of production 100% efficiently, the plot will be on the curve. However, most business efficiency falls inside the
curve. Why is this?
A. They are not making efficient use of their factors
of production.
B. They are making over 100% efficient use of their
factors of production.
C. They are making inequitable use of their factors
of production.
Answer: A. They are not making efficient use of their factors of production.
Explanation:
Production Possibilities Curve helps in capturing opportunity cost and scarcity when an economy produces two goods or services.
It should be noted that the points on the interior of the PPC simply means that the economy is inefficient. The points on the PPC implies that the economy is efficient, while the points beyond the PPC simoky means that they are unattainable.
Based on the question, the production points inside the curve simply implies that the economy isn't producing at its comparative advantage, and therefore, they are not making efficient use of their factors of production.
The optimal portfolio for an individual investor is represented by the point that lies on the Question 7 options: lowest possible utility curve and connects to the efficient frontier. utility curve which is just tangent to the right side of the feasible set of risk-return options. utility curve which is just tangent to the efficient frontier. utility curve which represents the highest possible rate of return within the feasible set of risk-return options.
Answer:
Utility curve which is just tangent to the efficient frontier.
Explanation:
The optimal portfolio of the investor is the maximum gain for the maximum risk. If risk factor is increased beyond optimal level it does not necessarily means that returns will also increase. Efficient frontier is curved because there is diminishing marginal utility to risk. For every additional unit of risk added into the portfolio gains a smaller amount of return.

A housecleaning agency was given a key to a customer's house so that the agency could have its employees clean while the homeowner was away. After a maid sent by the agency had finished and left the homeowner's house, she went back because she had forgotten her cigarettes. She neglected to lock the door when she left the second time because she was already late for the next job. When the homeowner returned after a few days away, she discovered that her house had been ransacked and several items of jewelry stolen. The front door was open, and there were no signs of forced entry. If the homeowner brings an action against the agency that employed the maid, what is the likely result
Answer:
C. She will prevail, because the maid's failure to lock the door created the risk that someone might enter and take the homeowner's valuables.

Johnson- Schmitt gave several dogs to Dispenza to find good homes for them. Dispenza did not find good homes for them, but rather kept them on his property in such deplorable conditions that they were eventually seized by the sheriff, turned over to the local SPCA, and adopted out to other families. Johnson- Schmitt later sued the county claiming unlawful conversion of her property( the dogs). Did Johnson- Schmitt have any property right in the dogs at the time they were seized?
Answer:
John-Schmitt had property right in the dogs at the time they were seized.
She had the right to dispose of her private property (dogs) and also to delegate Dispenza to dispose of her property (dogs). She was still in this right of disposition to her property before they were seized. Therefore, she could sue the country (right to property right enforcement) for unlawful conversion of her dogs.
Explanation:
The right of disposition or transferability is one of the property rights, including the right of possession, the right of control, the right of exclusion, the right of enforcement, and the right to derive income from the property. The right of transferability means that property rights should be transferable from one owner to another in a voluntary exchange. She can enforce her property rights.
ASAP PLEASEEE!!! If the price level were to rise from 160 to 200, in what direction and by how much would the value of a dollar change?
Answer:
- Downward direction
- The change in dollar value is 0.00125
Explanation:
Given
[tex]P_1 = 160[/tex]
[tex]P_2 = 200[/tex]
Required
Direction and value of dollar change
Value is calculated using
[tex]V = \frac{1}{P}[/tex]
When [tex]P_1 = 160[/tex], the value is:
[tex]V_1 = \frac{1}{160}[/tex]
[tex]V_1 = 0.00625[/tex]
When [tex]P_2 = 200[/tex], the value is:
[tex]V_2 = \frac{1}{200}[/tex]
[tex]V_2 = 0.005[/tex]
So, we have:
[tex]V_1 = 0.00625[/tex]
[tex]V_2 = 0.005[/tex]
Notice that [tex]V_1 > V_2[/tex]
i.e. the initial value is greater than the new value
Hence, the value of dollar moves down
The change in value is:
[tex]\triangle V = |V_2 - V_1|[/tex]
[tex]\triangle V = |0.005 - 0.00625|[/tex]
[tex]\triangle V = |- 0.00125|[/tex]
Remove absolute sign
[tex]\triangle V = 0.00125[/tex]
The change in dollar value is 0.00125

Since Johnson analysed the past performance of Openlane hardware and found out that past performance, conducting focus groups, and interviewing Openlane employees, Johnson concludes that the company has poor profit margins, sells shoddy merchandise, and treats customers poorly, then Johnson and Conecom Hardware should turn down the acquisition offer and prepare to resist a hostile takeover.
In this case, the merge between the companies will have a negative impact on Johnson and Conecom hardware due to the fact that the company has a bad reputation already and this can have an effect on Conecom. Therefore, the acquisition offer should be turned down.
