Answer:

The correct answer is: 2,000; 0.4

Explanation:

We can write the initial consumption function as,

C = a + bY

8,000 = a + 10,000b

a = 8,000 - 10,000b

The new consumption function is,

14,000 = a + 20,000b

Putting value of a in this function

14,000 = 8,000 - 10,000b + 20,000b

14,000 - 8,000 = 10,000b

b  = \frac{6,000}{10,000}

b = 0.6

Putting the value of b in the initial function,

8,000 = a + 10,000 \times0.6

a = 8,000 - 6,000

a = $2,000

The marginal propensity to consume or b is 0.6.

The marginal propensity to save will be

= 1 - 0.6

= 0.4

You can receive 400,000 five years from today or 1,000,000 thirty years from today. what interest rate makes them equivalent?
deff fn [24]

Answer:

3.73%

Explanation:

The computation of the rate of interest that makes the equivalent is shown below:

As we know that

Present value=Cash flow × Present value discounting factor ( interest rate% , time period)

Let us assume the interest rate be x

where,

Present value of $400,000 is

= $400,000 ÷ 1.0x ^5

And,

Present value of $1,000,000 be

= $1,000,000 ÷ 1.0x^30

Now eqaute these two equations

$400,000 ÷ 1.0x^5 = $1,000,000 ÷ 1.0x^30

(1.0x^30) ÷ (1.0x^5) = $1,000,000 ÷ $400,000

1.0x^(30 - 5)=2.5

1.0x^25=2.5

1.0x = (2.5)^(1 ÷ 25)

x =1.03733158 - 1

= 3.73%

inysia [295]

Answer:

<u>Part a:  What will be the equilabrium price that Dumphy and Funke will charge?</u>

Answer: Price charged = $30

<u>Part b: What are the profits for Dumphy and Funke at the equilibrium price?</u>

Answer: Profit on equilibrium price = $0

<u>Part c: What type of competition would Funke and Dumphy likely engage in after the decrease in demand?</u>

Answer: Price competition

Explanation:

<u>Part a:  What will be the equilabrium price that Dumphy and Funke will charge?</u>

Answer:

Price charged by each of the artists will be equal to their marginal cost.

Thus, equilibrium P = MC = $30.

<u>Part b: What are the profits for Dumphy and Funke at the equilibrium price?</u>

Answer:

Equilibrium profits will be 0 at the equilibrium because price charged is equal to MC, leading to no profits.

<u>Part c: What type of competition would Funke and Dumphy likely engage in after the decrease in demand?</u>

Answer:

Price competition - as changes in price will lead to changes in demand and thus sales

The cost of capital of a company that uses 45 percent debt that has an after-tax cost of debt of 10 percent and 55 percent equit
zimovet [89]

Answer:

12.75 %

Explanation:

Cost of Capital is calculated on a Weighted Average basis. This is because there is a Pooling of Funds when it comes to financing projects. So Cost of Capital is the Return that is Required by providers of Long Term source of finance.

Cost of Capital = E/V × Ke + D/V × Kd

Where,

E/V = Market Weight of Equity

      = 0.55

Ke = Cost of Equity

    = 15%

D/E = Market Weight of Debt

      = 0.45

Kd = Cost of Debt

     = 10%

Therefore,

Cost of Capital = 0.55 × 15% +  0.45 × 10%

                         = 12.75 %

Which best describes the results provided by market research?
Troyanec [42]
<span>Market research tells producers what consumers want and what they're willing to pay.

Marketers perform market research so they can accurately determine who their audience is, what people will buy, how much they will buy and how much they will pay for it. Without conducing this research they could be spending money trying to reach the wrong audience. They could also have their product set too high or too low and potentially lose money/customers.
