Answer:
If the marginal propensity to save is 0.12, the marginal propensity to consume(mpc) is 0.88, and the multiplier is 8.33.
Explanation:
From the question, we are given the following:
mps = Marginal propensity to save = 0.12
The marginal propensity to consume (mpc) and the multiplier can therefore be calculated as follows:
mpc = 1 - mps ........................ (1)
Substituting the values for mps into equation (1), we have:
mpc = 1 - 0.12
mpc = 0.88
Also, we have:
Multiplier = 1 / mps ..................... (2)
Substituting the values for mps into equation (2), we have:
Multiplier = 1 / 0.12
Multiplier = 8.33
Therefore, if the marginal propensity to save is 0.12, the marginal propensity to consume(mpc) is 0.88, and the multiplier is 8.33.
Answer: d. Entire initial investment will not be recovered.
Explanation:
The Payback period by definition is the amount of time it will take a Project to recover the initial investment into it. For example, if a project had an investment of $20 million and made $5 million every year, the Payback period would be 4 years.
Now, if the amount of time it will take to recover an investment is longer than the expected amount of time the project will run (expected useful life) then logically speaking that would mean that the Investment would not be entirely recovered because the project will be done before it can pay off the investment hence Option D is correct.
Answer:
150
Explanation:
As we know that
The marginal rate of technical substitution (MRTS) = Marginal product of labor ÷ Marginal product of capital
where,
The marginal rate of technical substitution (MRTS) = 0.20
And, the marginal product of labor is 30 chips per hour
So, the marginal product of capital is
= 30 chips per hour ÷ 0.20
= 150
The marginal rate of technical substitution (MRTS) shows a relationship between the marginal product of labor and the marginal product of capital
Answer: $1,021,382
Explanation:
The Consumer Price index (CPI) is an economic measure that enables us calculate inflation. It checks for a price changes in a group or basket of goods and then averages these price changes to find out how much they may have changed overtime.
A higher CPI means prices have increased.
CPI can then be used to calculate the potential values of goods in different years using another year as a base. This means that prices of goods in one year can be written in terms of prices in another year.
This can be done by Dividing the CPI in the current year by the CPI in the base year (year being expressed in terms of) and then multiplying the result by the price of the good in question.
In this case the good is the salary of $75,000.
The 2007 equivalent of a 1931 salary will therefore be,
= 75,000 * ( 207/15.2)
= $1,021,381.57
= $1,021,382
