Calculate the values for each of the questions. Assume that in each country there are no taxes, international trade, or inflatio

n and that interest rates are fixed. The Italian government decides to stimulate the economy by sending checks worth $ 70 billion to Italian consumers. If the government spending multiplier is 1.5 , calculate the MPC to determine the final change in Italy's real GDP due to the transfer. Please give your answer as a whole number in billions of dollars. $ billion The Greek government decides to introduce new austerity measures, which reduce government direct spending by $ 16 billion. Greece has a marginal propensity to consume of 0.6 . What will be the final change in real GDP as a result of this decreased spending? Please give your answer as a whole number in billions of dollars. $ billion The Japanese government decides to stimulate the economy by increasing direct spending by $ 70 billion. If the final change in real GDP is $ 280 billion, what is Japanese consumers' marginal propensity to consume (MPC)? Please round your answer to two decimal places.

Explanation:

a. The computation is shown below:

As we know that

Multiplier = 1 ÷ 1 - MPC

1.5  = 1 ÷ 1 - MPC

So, MPC is 0.3333

Now the real GDP is

= Multiplier × Government spending

= 0.3333 × $70 billion

= $105 million

So the change in real GDP is

= $105 million - $70 million

= $35 million

b. The computation is shown below:

As we know that

Multiplier = 1 ÷ 1 - MPC

Multiplier  = 1 ÷ 1 - 0.6

So, multiplier is 2.5

Now the real GDP is

= Multiplier × Government spending

= 2.5 × $16 billion

= -$40 million

c. As we know that

Real GDP = Multiplier × Government spending

$280 billion = Multiplier × $70 billion

So, the multiplier is 4

Now the MPC is

Multiplier = 1 ÷ 1 - MPC

4 = 1 ÷ 1 - MPC

So, the multiplier is 0.75

A nonprofit group organizes its local fundraisers in teams, with each of its L team leaders responsible for D group directors, a
Akimi4 [234]

Answer:

Each of L team leaders has D group directors, making the total number of group directors equal to (L)(D). And each of those group directors has F fundraisers, again requiring multiplication: that total is (L)(D)(F). (You can try this by plugging in small numbers - if each of 2 leaders has 3 directors, you know there would be 6 directors)

So while statement 1 is not sufficient (there are multiple combinations that could get you to 81, such as L = 1, D = 2, and F = 39; or L = 1, D = 5, and F = 15), statement 2 guarantees that there is only one team leader. This is because 5 is a prime number, and you know that the number of group directors = LD. The only possible way for LD to equal 5 is if L is 1 and D is 5, or if D is 1 and L is 5. And since the stimulus tells you that there are more directors than leaders, the combination must be 5 directors and 1 leader. Accordingly, statement 2 is sufficient.

Alicia heard that as a general rule, she should spend no more than one week's pay on rent. If Alicia's pay is $35,256 per year,
Nastasia [14]
If Alicia pay per year is $35,256 and there are twelve months in a year, then her monthly salary is $35,256/12 = 2,938.
This means that Alicia earns $2, 938 each month. 
Conventionally, there are four weeks in a month, thus, Alicia earns $2,938/4 = 734.50. This means that, Alicia earns $734. 50 each week and this is the amount that Alicia is expected to spend on rent on a monthly basis.

Consider a mutual fund with $219 million in assets at the start of the year and with 12 million shares outstanding. The fund inv
Ghella [55]

Answer:

Missing word <em>"What is the Rate of return"</em>

a. Asset at the end of the year = (Asset at the start of the year + Increase in value) * 12b-1 charges

Asset at the end of the year = ($219 million+ ($219 million * 7%)) * (1-0.50%)

Asset at the end of the year = ($219 million + $15.33 million) * 0.9950

Asset at the end of the year = $234.33 million * 0.9950

Asset at the end of the year = $233.16 million

Net asset value at the end of the year = Asset at the end of the year / Number of shares

Net asset value at the end of the year = $233.15835 million / 12 million

Net asset value at the end of the year = $19.430

b. Rate of return = (Net asset value at the end of the year + dividend per share - Net asset value at the start of the year) / Net asset value at the start of the year

Rate of return = ($19.430 + ($6 / 12) - $18.250) / $18.250

Rate of return = ($19.430 + $0.50 - $18.250) / $18.250

Rate of return = $1.68 / $18.250

Rate of return = 9.20%
