Answer:

a) 469.40%

b) 18.15%

Explanation:

a)

Total nominal growth rate = (\frac{\textup{Earned income in 2016}}{\textup{Earned income in 1976}}-1)\times100\%

thus,

Total nominal growth rate = (\frac{\textup{52,624}}{\textup{9,242}}-1)\times100\%

= 469.40%

b) Total real growth rate = (\frac{\textup{Real earned income in 2016}}{\textup{Real earned income in 1976}}-1)\times100\%

now,

Real earned income in 1976 = \frac{\textup{Earned income in 1976}}{\textup{CPI in 1976}}

=  \frac{\textup{9,242}}{\textup{45.6}\%}

= $20,267.54

and,

Real earned income in 2016 = \frac{\textup{Earned income in 2016}}{\textup{CPI in 2016}}

=  \frac{\textup{52,624}}{\textup{219.75}\%}

= $23,947.21

Therefore,

Total real growth rate = (\frac{\textup{23,947.21 }}{\textup{20,267.54 }}-1)\times100\%

= 18.15%

Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

move along upwards

shift out

shift in

Explanation:

A change in price of a good leads to a movement along the supply curve and not a shift of the supply curve.

Other factors other than a change in the price of the good would lead to a shift of the supply curve. Such factors include :

  1. A change in the price of input
  2. A change in the number of suppliers
  3. Government regulations

When the price of corn increases, the quantity supplied of corn increases. this is in line with the law of supply.

according to the law of supply, the higher the price, the higher the quantity supplied and the lower the price, the lower the quantity supplied.

This would lead to a movement up along the supply curve

If the price of seed which is an input to corn decreases, it becomes cheaper to produce corn. As a result, the supply of corn would increase. this would lead to an outward shift of the supply curve.

If the number of grocery stores decreases, there would be a reduction in supply. As a result, the supply curve would shift inwards

The 2016 income statements of Leggett & Platt, Inc. report net sales of $3,749.9 million. The balance sheet reports accounts
sergejj [24]

Answer:

option (A) 49 days

Explanation:

Data provided:

Net sales = $3,749.9 million

Accounts receivable on December 31, 2016 = $486.6 million

Accounts receivable on December 31, 2015 = $520.2 million

Now,

The duration from December 31, 2015 to December 31, 2016 = 365 days

Days sales outstanding = \frac{\textup{Average accounts receivable}}{\textup{Credit sales}}\times Number of days

or

Days sales outstanding = \frac{\frac{\$486.6 + \$520.2}{2}\textup{million}}{\$\textup{3,749.9 million}}\times365

or

Days sales outstanding = \frac{\$\textup{503.4 million}}{\$\textup{3,749.9 million}}\times365

or

Days sales outstanding = 48.99 ≈ 49 days

Hence,

The correct answer is option (A) 49 days

2. In 2016; the cost of a market basket of goods was $2,000. In 2018, the cost of the same market basket of goods was
GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

105

Explanation:

base year = 2016

cost of market basket of goods in base year = $2,000

CPI for base year = 100

year 2018

cost of market basket of goods in 2018 = $2,100

CPI for 2018 = (cost of basket of goods in 2018 / cost of basket of goods in base year) x 100 = ($2,100 / $2,000) x 100 = 105

In a homogeneous-good Cornet model where each of the n firms has a constant marginal cost m and the market demand curve is p = a
Jlenok [28]

Answer:

Q=nq=\frac{n}{n+1}\frac{a-c}{b}

if n=1 (monopoly) we have Q^M=\frac{1}{2}\frac{a-c}{b}

if n goes to infinity (approaching competitive level), we get the competition quantity that would be Q^c=\frac{a-c}{b}

Explanation:

In the case of a homogeneous-good Cournot model we have that firm i will solve the following profit maximizing problem

Max_{q_i} \,\, \Pi_i=(a-b(\sum_{i=1}^n q_i)-m)q_i

from the FPC we have that

a-b\sum_{i=1}^n q_i -m -b q_i=0

q_i=\frac{a-b \sum_{i=2}^n q_i-m}{2b}

since all firms are homogeneous this means that q_i=q \forall i

then q=\frac{a-b (n-1) q-m}{2b}=\frac{a-m}{(n+1)b}

the industry output is then

Q=nq=\frac{n}{n+1}\frac{a-c}{b}

if n=1 (monopoly) we have Q^M=\frac{1}{2}\frac{a-c}{b}

if n goes to infinity (approaching competitive level), we get the competition quantity that would be Q^c=\frac{a-c}{b}
