- Suppose that the interest rate at which Joanne can borrow and lend is 10 percent per year, but she can earn $22,000 with a high school degree. Her tuition and books at college cost $6,000 and her living expenses are $15,000 per year. Savings are deposited at the end of the year they are earned and receive (compound) interest at the end of each subsequent year. Similarly, the loans are taken out at the end of the year in which they are needed, and interest does not accrue until the end of the subsequent year. Now that the interest rate has risen, should Joanne go to college or go to work?arrow_forwardSemi-Salt Industries began its operation in 1975 and remains the only firm in the world that produces and sells commercial-grade polyglutamate. While virtually anyone with a degree in college chemistry could replicate the firm’s formula, due to the relatively high cost, Semi-Salt has decided not to apply for a patent. Despite the absence of patent protection, Semi-Salt has averaged accounting profits of 5.5 percent on investment since it began producing polyglutamate—a rate comparable to the average rate of interest that large banks paid on deposits over this period. Do you think Semi-Salt is earning monopoly profits? Why?arrow_forward7.

Suppose the orignal demand for such bonds is given by P=4,000-2Q, and that the supply of such bonds is given by P=1,000+Q. Keeping this supply curve fixed, suppose the demand curve next year will be given by P=3,400-2Q.
