How long must one wait (to the nearest year) for an initial investment of $1,000 to triple in value if the investment earns 8% compounded annually
Answer:
t = 14 years
Explanation:
The computation of the time period is shown below:
As we know that
Future value = Present value ×(1 + rate of interest)^time period
$3,000 = $1,000 × (1 + 0.08)^time period
3 = 1.08^time period
Now multiply log to both sides
So,
lof(3) ÷ log(1.08) = t
t = 14 years

Answer: the supply curve of new houses would shift rightward, since builders would be willing to produce and sell more houses at each given price.
Explanation:
Since the government decides to subsidize the home-construction industry by giving the home-construction companies $10,000 for every house that they build, then the supply curve of new houses would shift rightward, since builders would be willing to produce and sell more houses at each given price.
