The right answer for the question that is being asked and shown above is that: "The government will pay firms to give some workers extra pay to increase the total economy." <span>Is it wise for a firm to employ a worker at $20 per hour when another worker does the same job for $10 per hour? </span>
Answer:
Nominal interest rate (n) = 10% = 0.10
Inflation rate (i) = -2% = -0.02
Real interest rate (r) = ?
Application of Fisher's Equation
(I + n) = (1 + r)(1 + i)
(1 + 0.10) = (1 + r)(1 + -0.02)
1.10 = (1 + r)(0.98)
<u>1.10</u> = 1 + r
0.98
1.1224 = 1 + r
1.1224 - 1 = r
r = 0.1224 = 12.24%
Jimmer's real income will change by 12.24% next year.
Explanation:
In the determination of the rate of change in real income, there is need to apply Fisher's equation. The nominal rate and inflation rate have been given, thus, we will make the real rate the subject of the formula.
<u>Solution and Explanation:</u>
1. the Yield to maturity
FV = 1,000
PMT = FV multiply with Coupon rate
, PMT = 1,000 multiply with 0.1 = 100
N = 5
, PV = -1,197.93
CPT I/Y
I/Y = 5.380166647
Therefore, the Yield to maturity = 5.380166647%
Where: FV – fair value, PV – Present value
2. Current yield = Coupon payment divided by Price
Current yield = 100 divided by 1,197.93
By solving we get,
Current yield = 0.08347733173
Therefore, the Current yield = 8.347733173%
Answer:
a) Y = 500
b) Wages: 2.5
Rental price: 2.5
c) labor Share of output: 0.370511713 = 37.05%
Explanation:
if K = 100 and L = 100
Y = 500
wages: marginal product of labor = value of an extra unit of labor
dY/dL (slope of the income function considering K constant while L variable)
With K = 100 and L = 100
Y' = 2.5
rental: marginal product of land = value of an extra unit of land
dY/dK (slope of the income function considering K variable while L constant)
L = 100 K = 100
Y' = 2.5
c) we use logarithmic properties:
50 was the land while 10 the labor
2.698970004 = 1.698970004 + 1
share of output to labor: 1/2.698970004 = 0.370511713
