Question:
If the marginal product of capital net depreciation equals 8 percent, the rate of growth of population equals 2 percent, and the rate of labor-augmenting technical progress equals 2 percent, to reach the Golden Rule level of the capital stock, the ____ rate in this economy must be _____.
A) saving; increased
B) population growth; decreased
C) depreciation; decreased
D) total output growth; decreased
Answer
The correct answer is A) <u>Saving</u> rate of the economy must be i<u>ncreased</u> in order for the economy to reach the Golden Rule Level of the Capital Stock.
Explanation
Golden Rule Level of the Capital Stock is the level at which
MPK = δ,
Where MPK is Marginal Product; and δ the depreciation rate;
so that the marginal product of capital equals the depreciation rate.
In the Solow growth model, a <em>high saving rate results in a large steady-state capital stock and a high level of steady-state output.</em> A low saving rate results to a small steady state capital stock and a low level of steady-state output. Higher saving leads to faster economic growth only in the short run. An increase in the saving rate raises growth until the economy reaches the new steady state. That is, if the economy retains a high saving rate, it will also maintain a large capital stock and a high level of output, but it will not maintain a high rate of growth forever .
Answer:
I used an excel spreadsheet to answer this question.
Answer:
The book value of shares is $10
Explanation:
The balance of shareholders equity is $2,200,000.This comprises of retained earnings of $800,000 and Issued Share Capital of $1,400,000(for 140,000 units of shares)
To ascertain the unit of shares,see below:
45000units= $450,000
15000units reacquired at $150,000
Which also means that $1,100,000 is for 110,000units of shares.
In each of these cases highlighted above share price is $10
for instance:$450,000/45000shares=$10
$150,000/15000=$10 e.t.c
Answer:
option (A) -$500; decreases by $500
Explanation:
Data provided in the question:
Amount deposited = $1,000
Increase in credit card balance = $1,500
Now,
Deposit adds to assets whereas increase in credit card balances adds to liabilities
Therefore,
Savings = Deposits - Increase in credit card balances
= $1,000 - $1,500
= - $500
Here,
negative sign depicts the decrease in wealth
Hence,
The correct answer is option (A) -$500; decreases by $500
Answer:
$9.26 per stock
Explanation:
using the discounted cash flow model, the value of Scampini Technologies is:
company's value = free cash flow / (required rate of return - growth rate) = $25,000,000 / (13% - 7%) = $25,000,000 / 6% = $416,666,667
since the company does not have any debt, the price of each stock is:
stock price = total value of the company / total outstanding stocks = $416,666,667 / 45 million shares = $9.26 per stock
