Answer:

The answer is: C) Many decisions are made on the margin.

Explanation:

In order to determine which actions Maria should undertake, she must first do a benefit cost analysis. The actions that generate more benefits than costs should be taken. If she want to maximize her benefits from her available resources (training time), she should chose the actions whose marginal benefits exceed their marginal costs.

Maria should spend as much time in the pool as possible, as long as it doesn´t hurt her total performance including her running and biking performance.

Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

The pre-devaluation cost is ($880) and the pst-devaluation trade balance is ($1398)

Explanation:

Assumptions Values

Initial spot exchange rate, $/fc $2.00

Price of exports, dollars ($) * 20.0000

Price of imports, foreign currency (fc) * 12.0000

Quantity of exports, units * 100

Quantity of imports, units * 120

Percentage devaluation of the dollar 18.00%

Price elasticity of demand, imports * (0.900)

a. The pre-devaluation trade balance--

Revenues from exports, $ $2,000

Expenditures on imports, fc * 1,440

Expenditures on imports, $ $2,880

Pre-devaluation trade balance ($880)

b. Resulting trade balance immediately after devaluation

Revenues from exports, $ $2,000

Expenditures on imports, fc * 1,440

New spot exchange rate, after devaluation $2.36

Expenditures on imports, $ $3,398

Post-devaluation trade balance (currency contract period) ($1,398)

You are asked to make comparisons of two pairs of countries. The first pair are the Latin American countries of Chile and Argent
aleksklad [387]

Answer:

Part a: According to Solow model higher per capita real GDP will be in Chile because of its highest saving rate.

Part b: The per capita capital stock or the labour ratio is the primary factor for these differences in the simple Solow model.

Explanation:

<em>Part a:</em>

According to Solow model higher per capita real GDP will be in Chile because of its highest saving rate.

In Solow model the GDP per capita is defined as

                                           y=k^{\alpha}=f(k)

Also the steady state path is given as

sf(k)=(s+n)k\\\frac{s}{s+n}=\frac{k^*}{f(k^*)}\\\frac{s}{s+n}=\frac{k^*^{\alpha-1}}{k^*}\\\frac{s}{s+n}={k^*^{\alpha-2}}

As all other parameters are same thus the country with higher value of s will have a higher per capita GDP.

According to the Solow model, higher saving rate means larger capital stock and high level of output at the steady state.

Higher saving rate leads to faster growth in Solow model. So there is higher per capita real GDP for the country that has higher saving rate.

<em>Part b:</em>

In Simple Solow Model, the steady state per Capita GDP, y^* is the function of the steady state per capita capital stock given as k^*

Now this indicates that

y^*=f(k^*)

where f is an increasing concave function i.e. f'>0 and f''<0

Thus the sole dependence of per capita GDP is on per capita capital stock.

Thus the per capita capital stock or the labour ratio is the primary factor for these differences in the simple Solow model.
