Answer:

option c) $ 12 billion

Explanation:

Data provided :

Required reduction in consumption = $ 36 billion

MPC = 0.75

Now,

Total income  = Required reduction in consumption / MPC

or

the Increase in tax = $ 36 billion / 0.75

or

= $ 48 billion

the government can raise the tax = $ 48 billion - $ 36 billion = $ 12 billion

Hence, the answer is option C

hoa [83]

Answer: 18.92%

Explanation:

The formula to find the compound amount :-

A=P(1+r)^t, where P is the Principal amount, r is the rate of interest and t is the time period.

Given : P= $1500

A = $6000

Time = 8 years

Then 6000=1500(1+r)^8

i.e. (1+r)^8=\dfrac{6000}{1500}=4

i

Taking natural log on both sides , we get

\Rightarrow\ 8\ln(1+r)=\ln(4)\\\\\Rightarrow\ \log(1+r)=\dfrac{\log4}{8}=\dfrac{1.38629436112}{8}=0.17328679514\\\\\Rightrarrow\ 1+r=e^{0.17328679514}\\\\\Rightarrow\ 1+r=1.189207115\\\\\Rightarrow\ r=1.189207115-1=0.189207115\\\\\Rightarrow\ r\approx0.1892\approx18.92\%
