You’ve decided to buy a house that is valued at $1 million. you have $100,000 to use as a down payment on the house, and want to take out a mortgage for the remainder of the purchase price. your bank has approved your $900,000 mortgage, and is offering a standard 30-year mortgage at a 10% fixed nominal interest rate (called the loan’s annual percentage rate or apr). under this loan proposal, your mortgage payment will be per month. (note: round the final value of any interest rate used to four decimal places.)

The new york times (nov. 30, 1993) reported that “the inability of opec to agree last week to cut production has sent the oil market into turmoil . . [leading to] the lowest price for domestic crude oil since june 1990.” why were the members of opec trying to agree to cut production? so they could save more oil for future consumption so they could lower the price so they could raise the price why do you suppose opec was unable to agree on cutting production? because each country has a different production capacity because each country experiences different production costs because each country has an incentive to cheat on any agreement the newspaper also noted opec’s view “that producing nations outside the organization, like norway and britain, should do their share and cut production.” what does the phrase “do their share” suggest about opec’s desired relationship with norway and britain? opec would like norway and britain to keep their production levels high. opec would like norway and britain to act competitively. opec would like norway and britain to join the cartel.
