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:
a.Susan is wrong, and Mary is free to disclaim warranties.
Explanation:
According to the Magnuson-Moss Act the seller of a product may or may not provide warranty on a product. But is warranty is provided the following conditions must be met.
- The seller must provide a full or limited warranty.
- The coverage of the warranty must be stated
- Warranty must be available to the customers, so that they can read it before making a purchase.
So Mary can choose to disclaim all warranties on her products, not making her liable for any defects found in them. But if she wants to provide warranty it must be written and follow the conditions stated above.
Answer:
23,750 units
Explanation:
The computation of the break even point in unit sales is shown below
Break even point = (Fixed expenses) ÷ (Contribution margin per unit)
where,
Contribution margin per unit = Selling price per unit - Variable expense per unit
The variable expense per unit is
= (Sale revenue - fixed expenses - net operating income) ÷ (Number of sales units)
= ($280,000 - $17,000 - $95,000) ÷ ($280,000 ÷ 10 per unit)
= ($280,000 - $17,000 - $95,000) ÷ (28,000 units)
= $6 per uni
And, the fixed expenses is $95,000
Now put these values to the above formula
So, the value would equal to
= ($95,000) ÷ ($10 - $6)
= 23,750 units
Answer:
A. -$425.91
Explanation:
Given that
Start up cost = 2700
Cash inflow 1 = 811
Cash inflow 2 = 924
Cash inflow 3 = 638
Cash inflow 4 = 510
Rate = 11.2% or 0.112
Recall that
NPV = E(CF/1 + i]^n) - initial investment or start up cost
Where
E = summation
CF = Cash flow
i = discount rate
n = years
Thus
NPV = -$2,700 + $811 / 1 + 0.112 + $924 / 1 + 0.112^2 + $638 / 1 + 0.112^3 + $510 / 1 + 0.112^4
NPV = -$425.91
Therefore, NPV = -$425.91
If the federal reserve conducts an open market purchase, bank reserve DECREASE and the money supply INCREASE. The federal reserve has the responsibility to control the amount of money available in the economy. When the federal reserve make a purchase, their reserve will decrease, the money supply in the economy will increase, interest rates will fall and investment spending will increase.
