(a) Marginal propensity to consume (MPC) = 0.7
(b) Multiplier of this economy:
= 3.33
(c) Decrease government purchases by $300 billion,
Initial change in consumption = Change in government purchases × MPC
= $300 × 0.7
= -$210 billion
(d) This decreases income yet again, causing a second change in consumption equal to:
= Initial change in consumption × MPC
= -$210 × 0.7
= -$147 billion
(e) The total change in demand resulting from the initial change in government spending is:
= Change in government purchases × Multiplier
= $300 × 3.33
= -$1 trillion
Answer:
5.93%
Explanation:
Cumulative Dividend for both (5.56+5.88) $11.44
share price for both types of preferred stock (95.55+97.5) $193.05
Cost of preferred stocks $11.44/193.05=5.93%
Answer:
$69.47
Explanation:
D1 = ($1.45*1.20) = $1.7
D2 = ($1.7*1.20) = $2.04
D3 = ($2.04*1.20) = $2.45
Value after year 3 = (D3*Growth Rate) / (Required rate-Growth Rate)
Value after year 3 = ($2.45*1.08) / 0.11-0.08
Value after year 3 = $2.646 / 0.03
Value after year 3 = $88.20
Current share price = Future dividend and value*Present value of discounting factor(rate%,time)
Current share price = $1.7/1.11 + $2.04/(1.11)^2 + $2.45/(1.11)^3 + $88.20/(1.11)^3
Current share price = $1.5315315 + $1.65571 + $1.7914189 + $64.49107
Current share price = $69.4697304
Current share price = $69.47
Answer:
c. rent-seeking behavior
Explanation:
In economics, rent-seeking behavior can be described as a behavior or conduct that tries to increase the share of an economic agent or an entity from the existing wealth without adding or creating new wealth. This implies that the entity aims to obtain added wealth without creating a new one.
From the question, the aim of the lawyers is mainly to increase their own wealth in terms of legal fees they will collect from preparing wills, trusts, and other legal documents when they prepare them for people when a law restrict people from self-preparing it using their personal computers. In turn, the lawyers will only increase their share of wealth without adding any wealth.
Therefore, this is an example of rent-seeking behavior.
Answer:
indirect loss, cannot be
Explanation:
Indirect losses refers to a type of loss that incurred outside of circumstances that usually occur in normal operation. (such as loss because the government created a certain type of law or loss because people are conducting strikes on other areas of our business)
Insurance companies can't cover Indirect losses because these costs tend to be really unpredictable and extremely hard to be measured . They will specify that they wouldn't cover these types of loss during the initial cotnract.
