HERE IS/ARE THE FULL QUESTION(S):
The small island nation of Kaboom is a simple economy with no government, no taxes, and no imports or exports. Kaboomers (citizens of Kaboom) are creatures of habit. They have a rule that everyone saves exactly 40 percent of income. Assume that planned investment is fixed and remains at 225 million Kaboomian dollars. Further assume that autonomous consumption (independent of Y) is zero, so consumption (C) is MPC times Upper YMPC×Y.
The following data are estimates for the island of Kaboom:
bullet• Real GNP (Y): 422 million Kaboomian dollars
bullet• Planned investment spending (I):225 million Kaboomian dollars
You are asked by the business editor of the Explosive Times, the local newspaper, to predict the economic events of the next few months.
Based on the data given, you predict inventories will DECREASE and the level of real GNP will INCREASE.
Things will stop changing when SAVINGS EQUAL INVESTMENT.
Kaboom's economy will reach equilibrium when its real GNP = 563 MILLION Kaboomian dollars
Answer:
B) induces buyers to consume less, and sellers to produce less.
Explanation:
Taxes are a necessary evil since they always increase the price of the goods and services that consumers buy and decrease the amount of money that producers receive from selling their goods and services. But taxes are necessary and unavoidable.
But once a market assumes all the effects of existing taxes it reaches an equilibrium price that both consumers and producers are satisfied with. If a new tax is levied than the deadweight losses are greater since consumer surplus and producer surplus are both reduced. This will lead to a reduction in the incentive that both consumers and producers have to engage in transactions. Many times consumers will substitute heavily taxed goods for other goods since they feel they are getting more from consuming those goods (consumer surplus). The same happens to producers, many producers will change their heavily taxed goods for other goods.
If the price elasticity of demand or supply of a certain good is large (elastic demand and supply), the deadweight loss will be greater.
Answer:
Payout ratio =1- 12.96%*45%*9/1.4 = 0.6252 or 62.52%
Explanation:
WACC = Weight of Equity * Cost of Equity + Weight of Debt * (1-Tax rate) * Cost of Debt
16% = 45%* Cost of Equity + 55%*(1-40%)*9%
16%-55%*(1-40%)*9% = 45%*Cost of Equity
Cost of Equity = 28.9556%
Current price of Stock = D1/(Cost of Equity - Growth)
25 = 4/(28.9556%-Growth)
Growth = 28.9556%-4/25 = 12.96%
ROE = Net income/Equity = 1.4/(45%*9)
Growth rate = (1- Payout ratio)*ROE
12.96% = (1-Payout ratio)* 1.4/(45%*9)
Payout ratio =1- 12.96%*45%*9/1.4 = 0.6252 or 62.52%
Answer: Trade policies are coordinated and there are less restrictions on imports and exports.
Explanation:
An economic community is an agreement entered into by countries to enable higher cooperation in areas of politics and economic activities. In an economic community, the charges placed on import and export among member nations is minimal. An example of an economic community is the ECOWAS.
