Answer:
0%
Explanation:
Given that,
Growth rate of money supply = 3% per year
Real GDP growth rate = 3% per year
Velocity = Constant
According to the quantity growth theory of money,
M + V = P + Y
where,
M = Growth rate of money supply
V = Velocity
P = Inflation rate
Y = Real GDP growth rate
M + V = P + Y
3% + 0 = P + 3%
3% - 3% = P
0% = P
Therefore, the inflation rate is 0%.
Answer:
ROE would have changed by 8.52%
Explanation:
First we calculate the current ROE using Dupont Equation which gives ROE as,
ROE = Net Income/Sales * Sales/Total Assets * Total Assets/Equity
or
ROE = Net Profit Margin * Total Assets Turnover * Equity Multiplier
- Current ROE = 10600/295000 * 1.4 * 1.75 = 0.0880 or 8.8%
The condition says that the net income could have increased to 20850 but other factors will remain constant. Thus, to calculate new ROE, we will calculate the new Net Profit margin but the total assets turnover and the equity multiplier will remain constant as sales assets and capital structure is not changing.
- New ROE = 20850/295000 * 1.4 * 1.75 = 0.17316 or 17.32%
- The ROE would have changed by 17.32 - 8.80 = 8.52%
Answer:
The correct answer is option b.
Explanation:
Shen is working in a country where the inflation rate is high.
He gets a salary every two weeks.
After receiving his salary he immediately goes out and buys all the goods he is going to need over the next two weeks.
He converts the remaining salary in a more stable currency.
He does this in order to prevent his salary from losing purchasing power.
This effort that he is making to prevent his real income from losing value is called the shoe-leather cost of inflation.
The shoe-leather cost can be defined as the cost of time and effort made to prevent the cash holdings from losing their value.
Answer:
b) 156
Explanation:
Total utility is the total amount of satisfaction received by a consumer after consuming a given quantity of a product or service. In this question there is the total utility of five product.
Total utility = 162
utility of fifth product = 6
Total utility of other four products = Total utility - utility of fifth product
Total utility of other four products = 162 - 6 = 156
