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.

Assume that Saudi Arabia has production possibilities to produce either 100 barrels of oil using 100 worker hours or 25 bushels
Hatshy [7]

Answer: 10 bushels

Explanation:

If they produce 100 barrels of oil using 100 worker hours, it means that the number of work hours taken for 1 barrel is:

= 100 / 100

= 1 work hour

For bushels however, 1 worker hour produces:

= 25 / 100

= 0.25 bushels of corn

If 60 barrels of oil are produced, it means 60 worker hours were used which would leave 40 worker hours.

Bushels of corn produced is therefore:

= 40 * 0.25

= 10 bushels

IRINA_888 [86]

Answer:

$10,000 increase in stockholder equity

Explanation:

The buying of treasury stock reduces the balance of stockholder equity but when the treasury stock is reissued or we can say after purchase, the sale of treasury stock is done for $10,000. So, it increases the balance of  stockholder equity

It means that the purchase of treasury stock has an adverse impact on stockholder equity whereas reissued shares have a positive impact on stockholder equity

Suppose the Federal Reserve sets the reserve requirement at 12 percent, banks hold no excess reserves, and no additional currenc
Naily [24]

Answer:

See below.

Explanation:

For a)

The money multiplier or the credit multiplier can be calculated as follows,

Money multiplier = 1 / reserve ratio

Multiplier = 1 / 0.12 = 8.33 times

For b)

For a negative $80 million change by the Fed there will be a total change in the economy of 80 * 8.33 = $666.4 million.

A -80 million change will contract money supply by $666.4 million in the economy.

For c)

This can be calculated by dividing the target by the money multiplier.

So to achieve a change of $500m the Fed will expand the money supply by

= 500 / 8.33 = $60.02m.

Hope that helps.

An investor originally paid $22,000 for a vacant lot twelve years ago. If the investor is able to sell the lot today for $62,000
MArishka [77]

Answer:

b.9%

Explanation:

Formula for annual rate of return formula is as follows;

Annual rate of return = [ (New value/ Initial value)^(1/t) ] -1

t = the total holding period of investment = 12 years

Old value = 22,000

New value = 62,000

Next, plug in the numbers to the formula;

Annual rate of return; r = [ (62,000/22,000) ^(1/12) ] -1

r = [2.8182 ^(1/12)] - 1

r = 1.0902 -1

r = 0.0902 or 9%

An investor places $5,000 in an account. The stated annual interest rate is 6% compounded monthly. The value of the account at t
Nostrana [21]

Answer:

$5,983.40

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Principle amount = $5,000

Interest rate, r = 6% = 0.06

Time, t = 3 years

Compounded monthly i.e number of periods n = 12

Now,

Final amount = Principle × \left( 1 + \frac{r}{n} \right)^{\Large{n\times t}}

or

Final amount = $5,000 × \left( 1 + \frac{0.06}{12} \right)^{\Large{12\times3}}

or

Final amount = $5,000 × 1.005³⁶

or

Final amount = $5,000 × 1.196

or

Final amount = $5,983.40
