Answer:

$80

Explanation:

In this company, every dollar spent in labor has equal marginal product than every dollar spent in capital.

If we spent an additional $20 in labor and the marginal product output is $40, it is a 1:2 relationship (for every dollar spent in labor we get $2 of product output).

If the company spends $40 in capital, if it has the same marginal product output as labor (1:2 relationship), then its marginal product output will be $80.

borishaifa [10]

Answer:

the options are missing, so I looked for them:

a. The buying of government bonds leads to lower interest rates, thereby reducing private investment.

b. The selling of government bonds leads to higher interest rates, thereby reducing private investment.

c. The selling of government bonds leads to lower interest rates, thereby reducing private investment.

d. The buying of government bonds leads to higher interest rates, thereby reducing private investment.

the answer is:

b. The selling of government bonds leads to higher interest rates, thereby reducing private investment.

Explanation:

The crowding out effect happens when the government increases its spending level in order to engage in an expansionary fiscal policy but someone needs to pay for this extra spending. In order for the government to finance their spending, they have to choose to either increase taxes or issue more debt. When they issue more debt, they end up decreasing private investment since money that could be used by private companies is used by the government instead.
