A mortgage 105m is a loan that a person makes to purchase a house. Table 19.11 provides a list of the mortgage interest rate for several different years and the rate of inflation for each of those years. In which years would it have been better to be a person borrowing money from a bank to buy a home? In which years would it have been better to be a bank lending money?
Suppose an individual places his money in a bank for a year then invests in apples for a year. Suppose the bank has an annual rate of 5%, compounded continuously. During the year in which the individual's money is in the bank, the apple grows in price from $1 to $1.25. Suppose its return doubles in the second year, when the individual's money is invested in the apples. He starts the first investment period with $100. How much money does he have after two years following the investment plan given above? Group of answer choices $105.1 $124.7 $154.4 $157.7
assume elsa has current income of $50000 and expects income of $60000 next period. interest rate is 6% elsa desires to have the same amount of consumption expenditure during both periods. in the two period certainty framework, determine how much elsa's expenditures are during each period is elsa a saver or spender
The disposable income from your part-time job in 2019 was $18,800. In 2018, you borrowed $700 at 14 percent interest. You repaid your loan with interest in 2019. How much would you have available for spending in 2019? (Do not round intermediate calculations.)
Suppose a handbill publisher can buy a new duplicating machine for $ 500 and the duplicator has a 1-year life. The machine is expected to contribute $ 550 to the year's net revenue. Instructions: enter your anwer as a whole number. What is the expected rate of return? (in percentage) If the real interest rate at which funds can be borrowed to purchase the machine is 8 percent, will the publisher choose to invest in the machine? Will it invest in the machine if the real interest rate is 9 percent? if it is 11 percent?
A consumer's income in the current period is y = 100 and income in the future period is y'= 120. He or she pays lump-sum taxes t=20 in the current period and t'= 10 in the future period. The real interest rate is 0.1, or 10%, per period. (a) Determine what the consumer's optimal current-period and future-period consump tions are, and what optimal saving is, and show this in a diagram with the consumer's budget constraint and indifference curves. Is the consumer a lender or a borrower? (b) Now suppose that instead of y = 100 the consumer has y = 140 Again, determine optimal consumption in the current and future periods and optimal saving, and show this in a dia gram. Is the consumer a lender or a borrower? (c) Explain the differences in your results be tween parts (a) and (b).
Marquesa earns money and can spend money only this year and next year. Her utility isU(c1, c2) = c1c2. She can save and borrow as much as she wants at an annual interest rate of10%.

14. To use the Net Present Value (NPV) method of capital budgeting, one could calculate the present value of all the future net cash flows of an investment discounted at its cost of capital, and then subtract which one of the following? OA. The salvage value OB. The present value of the salvage value OC. The initial cost of the investment OD. The initial cost of the investment less the present value of the salvage value
Assume that an individual expects to work for 40 years andthen retire with a life expectancy of an additional 20 years.Suppose also that the individual’s earnings increase at a rateof 3 percent per year and that the interest rate is also 3 percent(the overall price level is constant in this problem). What(constant) fraction of income must the individual save ineach working year to be able to finance a level of retirementincome equal to 60 percent of earnings in the year just priorto retirement?
Assume a consumer who has current period income y = 200 , future-period income y' = 150, current and future taxes t = 40 and t' = 50, respectively and faces a market real interest rate ofr 005, or 5% per period. The consumer would like to consume equal amounts in both periods, that is, he or she would like to set c = c', if possible. However, this consumer is a faced with a credit market imperfections, in that he or she cannot borrow at all, that is, s>or=20. (a) Show the consumer's lifetime budget constraint and indifference curves in a diagram. (b) Calculate his or her optimal current period and future-period consumption and optimal, saving, and show this in your diagram.

(b) Suppose that everything remains unchanged. except that now t = 20 and t' = 71. Calculate the effects on current and future con sumption and optimal saving, and show this in your diagram (d) Now, suppose alternatively that y = 100. Repeat parts (a) and (b), and explain any differences.
