Answer:The answer is $330,000

Explanation:

80% of $70,000 = consumption

= $56,000, MPC = 0.8

C = a + by where a = autonomous consumption, b = MPC, The value of output is equal to households disposable income (Y = yd)

C = 56,000 + 0.8yd, consumption spending = 10,000

Y = C + I

Y = 56,000 + 0.8yd + 10,000

Rearrange the equation

Y - 0.8 = 5,600 + 10,000

Factor out variable Y

(1-0.8)Y = 56,000 + 10,000

Simplify

0.2Y = 66,000

Divide both sides by 0.2

0.2Y /0.2 = 66,000/ 0.2

Y = 330,000

Therefore the amount of Wong family annual consumer spending is $330,000

Answer:

Annual consumer spending for the Wong family is = $58.000

Explanation:

Disposable income $70,000

Marginal propensity to consume 0.8

Autonomous consumption spending $10,000.

If the disposable income (the money needed to survive) is $10.000 then the $60.000 left to complete $70.000 will be consumed at a rate of 80% or 0.8 cents per each dollar received. Therefore,

Annual consumer spending = $10.000 + ($60.000*0.8)

Annual consumer spending = $10.000 + $48.000

Annual consumer spending = $58.000

The interest rate on short-term U.S. government bonds is 4 percent. The risk premium for any asset with a beta = 1.0 is 6 percen
Basile [38]

Answer:

The average expected rate of return on the market portfolio is 10 percent.

Explanation:

The CAPM (fixed asset pricing) model describes the relationship between systematic risk and expected return on assets, especially stocks. CAPM is widely used throughout the financial community to value high-risk securities and achieve the expected returns on assets when taking into account the risk of those assets and the cost of capital.

The formula for calculating the expected return on an asset taking into account its risk is as follows:

ERi = Rf + βi (ERm - Rf)

where:

ERi = expected return on investment

Rf = risk-free interest rate = 4 percent.

βi = beta inversion =1.0

(ERm −Rf) = market risk premium = 6 percent.

ERi = 4 + 1 ×(6) =10

The average expected rate of return on the market portfolio is 10 percent.

Answer:

The answer is "4200"

Explanation:

Please find the complete question in the attached file:

Calculating the variable cost in km:

= \frac{(105,000 \times 0.114 - 70,000 \times 0.134)}{(35,000)} \\\\ = \frac{(11,970 - 9,380)}{(35,000)} \\\\ = \frac{2,590}{(35,000)} \\\\ =0.074

Calculating the fixed cost:

= (105,000 \times 0.114) - (105,000 \times 0.074) \\\\ = (11,970) - (7,770) \\\\=4,200
