Answer:
a. 0.8
b. 5
c. 0.9 and 10
Explanation:
a. The formula to compute the MPC is shown below:
= (Change in consumption) ÷ (Change in investment income)
= $16 billion ÷ $20 billion
= 0.8
b. The formula to compute the size of the multiplier is shown below:
= 1 ÷ (1 - MPC)
= 1 ÷ (1 - 0.8)
= 1 ÷ 0.2
= 5
c. If the change of the consumption increases, then the MPC would be
= (Change in consumption) ÷ (Change in investment income)
= $18 billion ÷ $20 billion
= 0.9
And, the size of the multiplier would be
= 1 ÷ (1 - 0.9)
= 1 ÷ 0.1
= 10
Answer: C. 150-250 basis points
Explanation:
Banks now charge between 150 to 250 basis points above the London Interbank Official Rate (LIBOR). This means that they charge a premium of between 1.5% to 2.5% over LIBOR for construction projects.
Like earlier mentioned, risks of construction lending may be less in a number of respects than those associated with land acquisition but however there are still risks. Risks such as low Tenancy when built, the potential Environmental problems and location.
This is why it is necessary to charge such a premium which is actually a very competitive rate amongst Banks.

Answer: c. Decline is reversible at the crisis stage, whereas it is irreversible at the dissolution stage.
Explanation: Crisis Stage; at this stage decline is still reversible if the
organisation reorganizes it ways of operations or conducting business. What they can do at this point is to carryout cutbacks and layoffs which would help reduce it's financial burden and create additional capital to run the business.
