Answer:
5.39%
Explanation:
Given that,
Bond that pays interest annually yields a rate of return = 7.50 percent
Inflation rate for the same period = 2 percent
Real rate = [(1 + nominal rate) ÷ (1 + inflation rate)] - 1
Real rate = [(1 + 0.0750) ÷ (1 + 0.02)] - 1
= (1.075 ÷ 1.02) - 1
= 1.0539 - 1
= 0.0539 or 5.39%
Therefore, the real rate of return on this bond is 5.39%.
Answer:
The correct answer is option a.
Explanation:
Taxes levied on either buyers or sellers are equivalent. In both cases, the tax creates a wedge. This wedge is the difference between the price that the buyers have to pay and the price that the sellers receive.
The price that the buyers have to pay increases while the price that the sellers receive decreases. But this tax wedge does not depend on whom the tax is levied, it depends on the elasticity of demand and supply. So whether the tax is levied on buyers or sellers, the tax wedge will remain the same.
The tax burden will be shared between both buyers and sellers. So it is incorrect to say that the taxes levied on sellers and taxes levied on buyers are not equivalent.
Given:
ΔY = $5,000, the change in income
ΔS = 50,000 - 54,000 = - 4,000, the change in savings.
By definition,
MPS (Marginal Propensity to Spend) is
MPS = ΔS/ΔY = -4000/5000 = -0.8
The relation between MPS and MPC (Marginal Propensity to Consume) is
MPS + MPC = 1.
Therefore
MPC - 0.8 = 1
MPC = 1.8
Answer:
MPS = 0.8
MPC = 1.8
Answer:
The return on equity for 2017 is 21.46 %
Explanation:
Return on equity measures the return earned on the owners investment in the company.
<em>Return on equity = Net Income for the year / Total Shareholders Funds × 100</em>
= $822 / ( $2,980 + $850) × 100
= 21.4621 or 21.46 %
Note : That Retained earning is part of Owners Investment.
Conclusion :
The return on equity for 2017 is 21.46 %
