terrific work
Line 2: Line 2:     
1. If I were to loan out money to someone, I would want them to pay me interest because loaning out money is just offering another service. If I were offering the service of washing someone's car, I would expect them to pay for my time and effort. This is the same idea when loaning out money. It is a service and although I would not be contributing much, if any, effort, I would still be contributing the time that I did not have that money, and, therefore, I should be payed for it.

2. $1,000 x 1.05 = $1,050 ----- $1,050 x another 1.05 = $1,102.50
 
2. $1,000 x 1.05 = $1,050 ----- $1,050 x another 1.05 = $1,102.50
 
So, I would pay you '''$1,102.50''' to satisfy the debt.

:Correct!
    
3. The bus trip to D.C. would be a variable cost. A variable cost is a cost that can be changed in the short run. It is not a fixed cost because fixed costs cannot be changed in the short run.

:Superb.
    
4. I think that the concept of Interest in economics is one of the best self-motivators. To work up and save up enough money to start investing and gain more money through the accumulation of interest, can truly motivate someone to be a hard worker.

5. $1,000 = (110% times X) times 110%, so, 1,000 divided by 110% = $909.09, $909.09 divided by another 110% = '''$826.45''', which is the amount that I will have to pay you today.

:No, not quite.  You have to divide again to get the second year:  $1000 divided by 1.1, and that result divided again by 1.1, to equal $826.45.  (Minus 1).
    
6. I'll pass this question.
