Answer: -9
Explanation:
The Tax multiplier of a nation shows how much the aggregate demand of an economy will change if there is a change in taxes.
It is calculated by the formula:
= -MPC / ( 1 - MPC)
= -0.9 / (1 - 0.9)
= -9
<em>If taxes are reduced, aggregate demand would increase by 9 times. </em>
Answer:
D. Shoes Cult has a competitive advantage over Aros.
Explanation:
Competitive advantage is defined as the advantage an entity has when they are able to produce a good at cost that is lower than the cost incurred by other parties in the same industry. This results in higher profit margins for businesses that have low production cost.
In this scenario Aros produces shoes for $20 while Shoes Cult produces the same shoes for $22. They both have the same price ceiling of $30.
Aros has competitive advantage over Shoes Cult because they produce at a lower cost and make more profit than Shoes Cult.
Assume they both sell at the maximum price. Profit for Aros= 30- 20=$10
Profit for Shoes Cult= 30-22= $8
Answer:
D) Canada since the cost per unit of output will be lower.
Explanation:
A German worker earns $6 per hour with a X productivity, we can assume X = 10 units, so the labor cost in Germany = $6 / 10 units = $0.60 per unit
A Canadian worker earns $10 per hour with a 2X productivity, we can assume X = 10 units, so the labor cost in Canada = $10 / 20 units = $0.50 per unit
Canadian direct labor is 20% more efficient than German labor.
