Suppose that you are running a business, and you need some extra space for one year. Your bank offers you a loan of $200,000 at 0% interest. You consider borrowing this amount to buy the building, use it for one year, and then sell the building to pay back the loan.
Unfortunately, the economy in which you are operating is experiencing deflation at the rate of 10% per year.
After one year, you should be able to sell the building for___________.
Suppose that owning the building for a year would earn you $12,000. To decide whether you will be better off by owning it for one year and then selling it, you seek advice from three different people: (1) Your brother says that you should not buy the building because in one year it will cost you $200,000. (2) Your accountant says that you should definitely buy the building because you can borrow $200,000 at zero interest while the building will generate $12,000 in extra income. Then when you sell it, you will be $12,000 richer. (3) Your…

- The price of bauxite increased to its highest level due to conditions which impacted supply. Historically, bauxite has traded at between 1500 and 1600 USD per tonne. But the price increased to over 1900 USD in November 2020. Growing demand in Canada for bauxite to be turned into aluminium, coupled with a sharp fall in Jamaican production have both been factors in the price increase. Bauxite production in Jamaica for 2017-18 fell 65% year-on-year due to flood conditions causing damages as well as increased competition. The London Metal Exchange predicts that global consumption of bauxite is likely to be greater than production by 20 million tonnes next year. In the US, companies in the steel and petrol industry have put pressure on the US government to relax import controls, warning that otherwise they might run out of bauxite. Commentators predict that most steel and petrol producers will be unaffected because bauxite is such a small part of their spending.
