Calculate the present value of the following annuity streams:

a. $5,000 received each year for 7 years on the last day of each year if your investments pay 7 percent compounded annually.
b. $5,000 received each quarter for 7 years on the last day of each quarter if your investments pay 7 percent compounded quarterly.
c. $5,000 received each year for 7 years on the first day of each year if your investments pay 7 percent compounded annually.
d. $5,000 received each quarter for 7 years on the first day of each quarter if your investments pay 7 percent compounded quarterly.

Task 3. Falling distance

When an object is falling because of gravity, the following formula can be used to determine

the distance the object falls in a specific time period:

d=(1/2)gt2

The variables in the formula are as follows: d is the distance in meters, g is 9.8, and t is the

amount of time, in seconds, that the object has been falling.

3.1.     Create a method: FallingDistance

Parameters:           t, object’s falling time (in seconds). t may or may not be an integer value!

Return value:         the distance, in meters, that the object has fallen during that time interval

Calculations:          Use Math.Pow() to calculated the square in the formula

3.2.     Demonstrate the method by calling it from a loop that passes the values 1 through 20 as arguments, and displays each returned value.

On January 1, 2017, the Hardin Company budget committee has reached agreement on the following data for the 6 months ending June 30, 2017.

Sales units: First quarter  5,200; second quarter  6,700; third quarter  7,000
Ending raw materials inventory: 40% of the next quarter’s production requirements
Ending finished goods inventory: 25% of the next quarter’s expected sales units
Third-quarter production: 7,380 units.


The ending raw materials and finished goods inventories at December 31, 2016, follow the same percentage relationships to production and sales that occur in 2017.  3 pounds of raw materials are required to make each unit of finished goods. Raw materials purchased are expected to cost $ 5 per pound.

Prepare a production budget by quarters for the 6-month period ended June 30, 2017.

A rock is dropped from the top of a tall tower. Half a second later another rock, twice as massive as the first, is dropped. Ignoring air resistance,

they strike the ground with the same kinetic energy

they strike the ground more than half a second apart.

the distance between the rocks increases while both are falling.

the acceleration is greater for the more massive rock.

According to the theory of liquidity preference, the opportunity cost of holding money rises when the interest rate rises, so people desire to hold more of it.

Select one:

True

False

In the long run, changes in government spending can affect prices, output, and unemployment rates if the spending programs alter the availability of natural resources, capital equipment or technology

Select one:

True

False

According to liquidity preference theory, the money supply curve is vertical because the Fed can dictate the quantity of money supplied by engaging in the purchase and sale of government bonds.

Select one:

True

False

An increase in the interest rate induces firms to borrow less, which will result in less investment spending and a decrease in the aggregate demand for goods and services.

Select one:

True

False

A lower price level leads to lower money demand, lower money demand leads to lower interest rates, and a lower interest rate increases the quantity of goods and services demanded
