a) What is the present value of $1,200 per year, at a discount rate of 8 percent, if the first payment is received 9 years from now and the last payment is received 28 years from now?

b) ABC Co. wants to sell you an annuity that will pay you $500 per quarter for 25 years. You want to earn a minimum rate of return of 5.1 percent. What is the most you are willing to pay today to buy this annuity?

c) You are scheduled to receive annual payments of $4,000 for each of the next 8 years. The discount rate is 8 percent.

Part 1: What is the present value if you receive these payments at the beginning of each year rather than at the end of each year?

Part 2: What is the difference in the present value if you receive these payments at the beginning of each year rather than at the end of each year?

d) Prepare an amortization schedule for a five-year loan of $60,000. The interest rate is 7 percent per year, and the loan calls for equal annual payments.

4. Which of the following statements is (are) correct?
(x) If households view a tax cut as being temporary, the tax cut has more of an effect on aggregate demand than if households view it as permanent.
(y) A decrease in taxes is an example of an expansionary fiscal policy and that policy will probably cause the aggregate demand curve to shift to the right.
(z) An increase in government purchases coupled with a decrease in taxes is an expansionary fiscal policy that will increase the budget deficit.

which data collection method is used in this study

There are four basic inventory cost flow assumptions. What are they and how are they calculated? What is the impact of each on the balance sheet and on the income statement when:

1. Prices are rising?

2. Prices are falling?

Does current flow from positive to negative, or negative to positive? Which way does current flow across the membrane during the rising phase of the action potential? During the falling phase?

A small coin, initially at rest, begins falling. If the clock starts when the coin begins to fall, what is the magnitude of the coin's displacement between t1 = 0.188 s and t2 = 0.845 s?

2. Define New Terms: Free Fall Acceleration, Air Resistance, and Terminal Velocity.

3. Offer a brief explanation for the discrepancy between the accelerations of the small and large balls for free falling.
