Answer:

Present value (PV) = $100,000

Number of years (n) = 12 years

Future value (FV) = $240,000

FV = PV(1 + r)n

$240,000 = $100,000(1 + r)12  

<u>$240,000</u> = (1 + r)12

$100,000

2.4 = (1 + r)12

12√2.4 = 1 + r

1.0757 - 1 = r

0.0757 = r

r = 0.0757 = 7.57% = 8%

Explanation:

In this case, we need to apply the formula for future value of a lump sum (single investment). The present value, future value and number of years have been provided in the question with the exception of interest rate. Thus, interest rate becomes the subject of the formula,which implies that we will solve for interest rate.

In the short run, the quantity of output that firms supply can deviate from the natural level of output if the actual price leve
timofeeve [1]

Answer:

1.  Rise

2.  Increasing

3.  Rise

Explanation:

For example, the sticky-wage theory asserts that output prices adjust more quickly to changes in the price level than wages do, in part because of long-term wage contracts. Suppose a firm signs a contract agreeing to pay its workers $15 per hour for the next year, based on an expected price level of 100. If the actual price level turns out to be 110, the firm's output prices will RISE, and the wages the firm pays its workers will remain fixed at the contracted level. The firm will respond to the unexpected increase in the price level by INCREASING the quantity of output it supplies. If many firms face similarly rigid wage contracts, the unexpected increase in the price level causes the quantity of output supplied to RISE above the natural level of output in the short run.

The above explanation is the reason why the aggregate supply curve slopes upward in the short run

Item 6Item 6 Suppose that the firm's only variable input is labor. When 50 workers are used, the average product of labor is 50
Kipish [7]

Answer:

$1.07

Explanation:

The marginal cost measures the change in total cost of adding on more worker divided by the change in product for this additional worker (marginal product of labor). When adding one more worker, costs will increase by $80 (wage rate), while product will increase by 75. Therefore, the marginal cost is:

MC=\frac{80}{75}\\MC=\$1.07

The marginal cost is $1.07.

What is the expected rate of return on a bond that pays a coupon rate of 9% paid semi - annually, has a par value of $1,000, mat
spayn [35]

Answer:

b. 7.28%

Explanation:

This question is asking for the yield to maturity(YTM) of the bond. You can solve this using a financial calculator with the inputs below. Additionally, adjust the coupon payment(PMT) and time to maturity(N) to semiannual basis.

Time to maturity; N = 5*2 = 10

Face value; FV = 1000

Price of bond; PV = -1071

Semiannual coupon payment; PMT = (9%/2) *1000 = 45

then compute semiannual interest rate; CPT I/Y = 3.64%

Next, convert the semiannual rate to annual rate(YTM) = 3.64% *2

YTM = 7.28%
