The economic way of thinking is more than money, budgets,and the stock market. this is because when thinking of the economy, it includes the community and choices must be made to improve it. some economic decisions are costly, and could negatively affect the economy by making the costs of things skyrocket, ruining benefits of others that relied on them and will now put jobs and businesses into bankruptcy.

Even when competitive firms are unable to calculate marginal revenue product directly, ______________________________ will push

Alona [7]

Answer:

Even when competitive firms are unable to calculate marginal revenue product directly, <u>competition in the labor market</u> will push wage rates toward the marginal revenue product of labor.

Explanation:

The labor market is made up of employers seeking for labor and employees offering their labor services. The law of supply and demand also applies to this market, when more employers are seeking employees, the price (= salary) will increase.

For example, if many companies are making a profit and they need more labor, the salaries will rise because the demand is rising.

Also the suppliers, the potential employees, compete against each other for the best possible jobs.

Inessa [10]

Answer:

-$15,315.21

Reject the project

Explanation:

The net present value is the present value of after tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.

The NPV can be found using a financial calculator.

Cash flow in year zero = -168,000

Cash flow in year 1 = $44,800

Cash flow in Year 2 = $51,700

Cash flow in Year 3 = $48,600

Cash flow in Year 4 = $47,900

Interest rate = 10%

NPV = $-15,315.21

To find the NPV using a financial calacutor:

1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

2. After inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

3. Press compute

The decision rule with NPV is to accept the project if the npv is positive. Since the NPV calculated above is negative, the project should be rejected.

Consider the following simplified balance sheet of a commercial bank: ASSETS LIABILITIES Vault cash $200 $3500 Deposits Deposits

andrezito [222]

Answer:

Check the following calculations

Explanation:

(a)

Actual Reserves = Vault cash + Deposits at the Federal Reserve

Actual Reserves = $200 + $300

Actual Reserves = $500

The actual reserves are $500.

Calculate Required Reserves -

Required Reserves = Deposits * Required reserve ratio

Required Reserves = $3500 * 0.10 = $350

The required reserves are $350.

Calculate Excess Reserves -

Excess reserves = Actual reserves - Required Reserves

Excess reserves = $500 - $350 = $150

The Excess reserves are $150.

(b)

A bank can increase the amount of its loan by the amount of excess reserves it held.

This bank has excess reserves of $150.

So, this bank can increase its loans by $150.

(c)

Calculate Money multiplier -

Money multiplier = 1/Required reserve ratio = 1/0.10 = 10

The money multiplier is equal to 10.

(d)

Calculate total expansion of loan by entire banking system -

Total expansion = Increase in loan by individual bank * Money multiplier

Total expansion = $150 * 10 = $1,500

The entire banking system can expand their loans by $1,500.

(e)

The new wealth directly created from this expansion of deposits is equal to the quantum of expansion in deposits.

The deposits has expanded by $1,500.

So, new wealth directly created from this expansion of deposits is $1,500.
