Answer:

we will find present value of cost over 25 years for both alternatives and would choose one which lowest PV of cost.

Vinyl siding

Cost today (start of year 1) = PV = $13,000

It will last for 25 years

Painting:

Start of year 1:

Cost Incurred today = $3,500

Cost of replacing the boards today (which will last for 25 years) = $2,500

Start of year 6:

Cost Incurred at start of year 6 = $3,500 * (1 + 5%) 5 Annual Inflation rate being 5%

PV of this cost = $3,500 * (1 + 5%) 5 / (1 + 10%) 5

Start of year 11:

Cost Incurred at start of year 11 = $3,500 * (1 + 5%) 10

PV of this cost = $3,500 * (1 + 5%) 10 / (1 + 10%) 10

Start of year 16:

Cost Incurred at start of year 16 = $3,500 * (1 + 5%) 15

PV of this cost = $3,500 * (1 + 5%) 15 / (1 + 10%) 15

Start of year 21:

Cost Incurred at start of year 21 = $3,500 * (1 + 5%) 20

PV of this cost = $3,500 * (1 + 5%) 20 / (1 + 10%) 20

Total PV of all costs = 3500 + 2500 + 3500 * (1 + 5%) 5 / (1 + 10%) 5 + 3500 * (1 + 5%) 10 / (1 + 10%) 10 + 3500 * (1 + 5%) 15 / (1 + 10%) 15 + 3500 * (1 + 5%) 20 / (1 + 10%) 20

= $14,093.94

As such PV of cost Vinyl siding is lower at $13,000 than the PV of cost at $14,093.94 in case of painting.

Thus, you would prefer to install the vinyl siding

mariarad [96]

Answer:

MPC = 0.4

Explanation:

Multiplier shows change in income due to change (increase) in investment, or change (decrease) in tax. It is calculated by Marginal Propensity to Consume, as follows -

Multiplier ie k = Δ Income / Δ (govt investment or tax) = 1 / (1 - MPC)

Given : ΔG  ie tax fall = 60 ; Targeted income rise = Full employment - actual output = 2000 - 1900 = 100

k = ΔY / ΔG = 100 / 60 = 1.67

k = 1 / (1 - MPC) → 1 - MPC = 1 / k → 1 - MPC = 1 / 1.67 → 1 - MPC = 0.6

MPC = 1 - 0.6 → MPC = 0.4
