An investment offers a total return of 15 percent over the coming year. Janet Jello thinks the total real return on this investm
1 answer:
Answer:
6.78%
Explanation:
Data provided in the question:
Total return i.e nominal rate = 15% = 0.15
Real return = 7.7% = 0.077
Now,
Inflation rate = - 1
on substituting the respective values, we get
Inflation rate = - 1
or
Inflation rate = [ 1.15 ÷ 1.077 ] - 1
or
Inflation rate = 0.0678
or
Inflation rate = 0.0678 × 100% = 6.78%

The question is incomplete:
If Farmer Brown plants no seeds on his farm, he gets no harvest. If he plants 1 bag of seeds, he gets 5 bushels of wheat. If he plants 2 bags, he gets 9 bushels. If he plants 3 bags, he gets 12 bushels. A bag of seeds costs $120, and seeds are his only cost.
Farmer Brown's total-cost curve is
a. increasing at an increasing rate.
b. increasing at a decreasing rate.
c. increasing at a constant rate.
d. decreasing.
Answer:
a. increasing at an increasing rate.
Explanation:
To determine the answer, you can create a graph with the information given hich is attached.
You can see that the curve is increasing and because of that you can eliminate option d that is decreasing. Then, you have to consider that increasing at a constant rate would show an straight line which is not the case. Also, increasing at a decreasing rate would show a decreasing slope which is not what you see in the graph. Because of that, the answer is that Farmer Brown’s total cost curve is increasing at an increasing rate because the graphs shows an increasing slope.
