Answer:

C

Explanation:

In economics, when the word Marginal is mentioned, it refers to additional, as in one extra unit.

For example when we hear marginal revenue, it means the revenue gotten from selling an additional unit, when we hear or speak of marginal cost, it is the cost of producing or getting one more unit.

Propensity is a tendency, an inclination to do something.

So adding the three words together, marginal propensity to consume will be the tendency or inclination to consume one extra unit as a result of earning extra income.

Hence (MPC) is the fraction of extra income consumed.

I hope the concept is clearer.

sineoko [7]

Answer:

B. $2 per unit

Explanation:

The computation of the price of Y is shown below:

As we know that the condition of the  utility maximization i.e ratio of Marginal utility and the price should be matched and equal for both the goods given in the question

For one good

= Marginal utility ÷ price

=  40 ÷ $5

= 8

And, for the other goods

Marginal utility ÷ price = 8

16 ÷ Price = 8

So, the price is $2 per unit

Hence, the correct option is B.

jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

Since the market value equals face value,coupon rate =yield is 75/1000=7.5%

That is 7.5% is before tax cost of floating the bonds

At tax rate of 30%,after tax cost of floating bond =7.5%*(1-30%)=5.25%

However,with a flotation cost of 2%,the before tax cost of flotation is calculated  using below formula found in the explanation section.

((75+(1000-980)/25)/(980+1000)*2)=7.66%

Since tax rate remains 30%,the after tax cost  of floating the bond with floating cost of 2% is: 7.66%*(1-30%)=5.36%  

Explanation:

(Interest payment+((Par value-Net Proceds Value)/number of yr)/(Net Proceds+Par value)/2
