) Suppose that the linear equation for consumption in a hypothetical economy is C = $40 + .8Y. Also suppose that income (Y) is $

Elis [28]

Answer:

(a) The marginal propensity to consume is equal to 0.8.

(b) The marginal propensity to save is equal to 0.2.

(c) The level of consumption is equal to $360.

(d) The average propensity to consume is equal to 0.90.

(e) The level of saving is equal to $40.

(f) The average propensity to save is equal to 0.10.

Explanation:

Given:

C = $40 + 0.8Y ................... (1)

Y = $400 .............................. (2)

(a) the marginal propensity to consume (MPC)

This can be determined by differentiating equation (1) with respect to Y as follows:

MPC = dC/dY = 0.8

Therefore, the marginal propensity to consume is equal to 0.8.

(b) the marginal propensity to save (MPS)

MPS = 1 – MPC

Since MPC = 0.8, we have:

MPS = 1 – 0.8 = 0.2

Therefore, the marginal propensity to save is equal to 0.2.

(c) the level of consumption (C)

Since Y = $400, we substitute into equation (1) to have:

C = $40 + (0.8 * $400) = $40 + $320 = $360

Therefore, the level of consumption is equal to $360.

(d) the average propensity to consume (APC)

This can be calculated as follows:

APC = C / Y = $360 / $400 = 0.90

Therefore, the average propensity to consume is 0.90.

(e) the level of saving (S)

This can be calculated as follows:

S = Y - C = $400 - $360 = $40

Therefore, the level of saving is $40.

(f) the average propensity to save (APS)

This can be calculated as follows:

APS = S / Y = $40 / $400 = 0.10

Therefore, the average propensity to save is 0.10.

daser333 [38]

Answer:

$156,454.87

Explanation:

Future Value of an annuity due: FV = Pmt x ((1+r)n -1))/r) x (1+r)

When Payment per period (PMT) = $10,000, Discount Rate per period= 8%,Number of periods (n) = 10

Future Value = $10,000 * ((1+0.08)^10 -1))/0.08) * 1.08

Future Value = $10,000 * [(1.08)^10 - 1 ]/ 0.08 * 1.08

Future Value = $10,000 * 2.15892499727-1/0.08 * 1.08

Future Value = $10,000 * 1.15892499727/0.08 * 1.08

Future Value = $10,000 * 14.486562465875 * 1.08

Future Value = 156454.87463145

Future Value = $156,454.87

What does a future value measure

hjlf

Future value (FV) is the value of a current asset at a future date based on an assumed rate of growth. The future value (FV) is important to investors and financial planners as they use it to estimate how much an investment made today will be worth in the future.

Future Value = Present Value (1 + (Interest Rate x Number of Years)) Let's say Bob invests $1,000 for five years with an interest rate of 10%. The future value would be $1,500.

Suppose you face a choice between a certain income of $2,000, or a 50-50 chance of income of $1,000 or $3,000. Suppose you prefe

Aleonysh [2.5K]

Solution :

The risk averse is the person who wishes to reduce the uncertainty attached to the money.

Certain income = $2000.

50-50 chance of 1000 and 3000 would income expected income of

(0.5 x 1000) +(0.5 x 3000) = 2000

Both of them gives an equal amount of income while there is uncertainty attached with the second case which makes the risk averse person disincline to follow.

Hence the statement is FALSE.

Assume that the population level in a country is X. 5 percent of the population are likely to get affected by the disease due to which it makes a population of 0.05 X population to be effected by the disease. The population level will cost $38,000, hence making the total healthcare cost to be 1900 X.
