Question:
If the marginal product of capital net depreciation equals 8 percent, the rate of growth of population equals 2 percent, and the rate of labor-augmenting technical progress equals 2 percent, to reach the Golden Rule level of the capital stock, the ____ rate in this economy must be _____.
A) saving; increased
B) population growth; decreased
C) depreciation; decreased
D) total output growth; decreased
Answer
The correct answer is A) <u>Saving</u> rate of the economy must be i<u>ncreased</u> in order for the economy to reach the Golden Rule Level of the Capital Stock.
Explanation
Golden Rule Level of the Capital Stock is the level at which
MPK = δ,
Where MPK is Marginal Product; and δ the depreciation rate;
so that the marginal product of capital equals the depreciation rate.
In the Solow growth model, a <em>high saving rate results in a large steady-state capital stock and a high level of steady-state output.</em> A low saving rate results to a small steady state capital stock and a low level of steady-state output. Higher saving leads to faster economic growth only in the short run. An increase in the saving rate raises growth until the economy reaches the new steady state. That is, if the economy retains a high saving rate, it will also maintain a large capital stock and a high level of output, but it will not maintain a high rate of growth forever .
One of the steps in solving this problem is this one:
As we know as shown above, the joournal entry for 2014 and 2015 will include the investment balance, increases and decreases to equity and intra-entity profits realized and deferred. Also the balance of the acquisition needs to be calculated.
Calculation of the book value of the purchase made as the book value of Company K times percent purchased:
400,000 * 0.40 = 160,000
Then, calculate the difference in the acquisition and the book value of the purchase:
210,000 - 160,000 = 50,000
Answer:
38,000
explanation:
take 30,00+1,800(interest paid)=$38,000 (yearly payment)
Answer: (A) Geo-demographic
Explanation:
The Geo-demographic is basically refers to the market segmentation that is used for classifying the different types of localities or the resident based on the demographic principle and the characteristics.
It is the process of studying regarding the population and also the geographical areas by using the various types of clustering techniques.
According to the given question, the Tapestry is one of the segmentation system that divide the geographical areas into the different types of categories and geographical segmentation is one of the markets research tool that is used in the above given example.
Therefore, Option (A) is correct answer.
