Answer:

tax increased = $22.22 billion

so correct option is 3. increase taxes by $22.22 billion.

Explanation:

given data

real GDP = $500 billion

employment GDP = $300 billion

marginal propensity = 0.9

solution

we know here that Inflationary gap will be

Inflationary gap = Real GDP - Full-employment GDP

Inflationary gap = $(500 - 300) billion

Inflationary gap = $200 billion

and tax Multiplier is

Tax Multiplier  = \frac{- marginal propensity}{1 - 0.9}

Tax Multiplier  = -9

here negative sign means that decrease real GDP by $9

so tax should be increased by $1

so we can say that decrease real GDP by $200 billion

and  tax should be increased = \frac{200 billion}{9}  

tax increased = $22.22 billion

so correct option is 3. increase taxes by $22.22 billion.

you are a consultant to a firm evaluating an expansion of its current business. The cash flow forecasts (in millions of dollar)
timama [110]

Question

you are a consultant to a firm evaluating an expansion of its current business. The cash flow forecasts (in millions of dollar) for the project as follows:

Year     cashflow

0           -100

1-10            15

0n the basis of the behavior of the firm's stock, you believe that the beta of the firm is 1.30. Assuming that the rate of return available on risk-free investments is 5% and that the expected rate of return on the market portfolio is 15% what is the net present value of the project

Answer:

NPV= -$32.58

Explanation:

The net present value of the investment is the cash inflow from the investment discounted at required rate of return. The required rate of return can be determined using the the formula below:

Ke= Rf +β(Rm-Rf)  

Ke =? , Rf- 5%,, Rm-15%, β- 1.30

Ke=5% + 1.30× (15-5)=  18%

The NPV = Present value of cash inflow - initial cost

 =  A×(1-(1+r)^(-10)/r  - initial cost

A- 15, r-18%

NPV = 15× (1-1.18^(-10)/0.18 - 100= -32.58

NPV = -$32.58
