Response:

At the time of retirement, Luis will possess $ 1,153,675.657524 in his retirement account.

Reasoning:

Luis currently has $170,000 in his retirement fund

After compounding at 4.5% quarterly for 30 years, his account will grow to

Account balance = $ 170,000(1 + (0.045/4))^(4*30)

Account balance = $ 650,838.260724

Moreover, Luis intends to contribute $2000 each quarter into the new account for the next 30 years prior to retirement.

The future value (FV) of this account is calculated as

FV = 2000[(1 + (0.045/4))^(4*30) -1] / (0.045/4)  0.01125

FV = $ 502,837.3968

To determine Luis’s total balance at retirement, we calculate the following:

Total amount = Account balance + FV

Total amount = $ 650,838.260724 +  $ 502,837.3968

Total amount = $ 1,153,675.657524

Luis will have $ 1,153,675.657524 in his retirement account.

Therefore, option B stands as the right choice.

The Clean Air Act was introduced in 1963 with the aim of safeguarding both the environment and public health in the United States.

Benefits to the environment:

• Minimizes air pollution by imposing standards on industries to regulate the emission of harmful wastes.

Réponse:

Amy possède un avantage absolu dans la production de tartes aux pommes et de glaces.

Amy a un avantage comparatif dans la production de tartes aux pommes.

Brad a un avantage comparatif dans la production de glaces.

Amy devrait se spécialiser dans la production de tartes aux pommes, tandis que Brad devrait se focaliser sur la production de glaces.

Explication:

Une personne a un avantage comparatif dans un domaine si elle produit à un coût d'opportunité inférieur par rapport à d'autres individus.

Coût d'opportunité de Brad:

Pour produire une tarte aux pommes = 10 / 5 = 2

Pour produire une glace: 5 / 10 = 0.5

Coût d'opportunité d'Amy:

Pour produire une tarte aux pommes: 15/15 = 1

Pour produire des glaces: 15/15 = 1

Amy a le coût d'opportunité le plus bas comparé à Brad pour la production de tartes aux pommes. Ainsi, elle détient un avantage comparatif dans ce domaine.

Brad présente un coût d'opportunité inférieur à celui d'Amy pour la production de glaces. Il possède donc un avantage comparatif dans la production de glaces.

Une personne doit se spécialiser et échanger le produit pour lequel elle a un avantage comparatif.

Un individu a un avantage absolu dans la production d'un bien s'il produit une quantité supérieure à celle des autres.

Amy a un avantage absolu dans la production des deux biens.
