Answer:

a) 2000

b) 4000

c) 2000 and 4800

Explanation:

The quantitative theory of money shows how the monetary side of an economy behaves, that is, the effect of money supply on income. It is given by the equation MV = PY, where M = money supply, V is the currency's velocity, P is the price level and Y is the real income level.

M = 500, V = 8, P = 2

a) The real income level:

MV = PY

500 x 8 = 2 x Y

Y = 2000

b) Nominal income level (price level multiplied by real income)

2 x 2000 = 4000

C) If the money supply increases by 20%, ie to 600, the real income will be:

MV = PY

600 x 8 = 2.4 x Y (Y is full employment income, so the effects of money supply will be on the price level)

Y = 2000 Real income remains the same, increase in money supply does not affect real output, only price level, which increases from 2 to 2.4.

The nominal income, in turn, will be:

2.4 x 2000 = 4800

That is, an increase in the money supply only increases nominal income.

Two isolated nations, Alphaland and Betaton, are considering opening their borders to trade with each other. Both nations consum

Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

5 tons of salt for 1 ton of pepper

10 tons of salt for 1 ton of pepper

Explanation:

Alphaland's opportunity cost of producing one ton of pepper = 80 ÷ 5

= 16 tons of salt

Betaton's opportunity cost of producing one ton of pepper = 3 ÷ 1

= 3 tons of salt

Alphaland's opportunity cost of producing one ton of salt = 5 ÷ 80

= 0.0625 tons of pepper

Betaton's opportunity cost of producing one ton of salt = 1 ÷ 3

= 0.3333 tons of pepper

Therefore, Betaton has a comparative advantage in producing pepper because it has the lower opportunity cost of producing pepper as compared to Alphaland. On the other hand, Alphaland has a comparative advantage in producing salt because it has the lower opportunity cost of producing salt as compared to Betaton.

Hence, Betaton is specialized in the production of pepper and Alphaland is specialized in the production of salt.

Trade is beneficial for both the nations when Alphaland buys pepper at a price lower than the 16 tons of salt and Betaton sells pepper at a price greater than 3 tons of salt.

Trade ratios:

5 tons of salt for 1 ton of pepper

10 tons of salt for 1 ton of pepper

Alika [10]

Answer:

The book debt-to-value ratio is 0.57

Explanation:

The computation of the book debt-to-value ratio is shown below:

Book debt-to-value ratio = (Book value) ÷ (book value of debt)

where,

Book value is $30.0 per share

Book value of debt = Outstanding shares × book value + long term debt

= 0.730 × $30 + $30.50

= $21.90 + $30.50

= $52.40

Now put these values to the above formula

So, the value would equal to

= $30.00 ÷ $52.40

= 0.57

Inelastic

Explanation:

Price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price of the good.

Price elasticity of demand = midpoint change in quantity demanded / midpoint change in price

Midpoint change in quantity demanded = change in quantity demanded / average of both demands

change in quantity demanded = 14 million - 15 million = -1 million

average of both demands = (14 million + 15 million ) / 2 = 14.50 million

Midpoint change in quantity demanded = -1 million / 14.50 million = -0.069

midpoint change in price = change in price / average of both price

change in price = $2.15 - $1.35 = $0.80

average of both prices = ( $2.15 + $1.35 ) / 2 = $1.75

midpoint change in price = $0.80 / $1.75 = 0.457

-0.069 / 0.457 = 0.15 demand is inelastic

If the absolute value of price elasticity is greater than one, it means demand is elastic. Elastic demand means that quantity demanded is sensitive to price changes.

Demand is inelastic if a small change in price has little or no effect on quantity demanded. The absolute value of elasticity would be less than one

Demand is unit elastic if a small change in price has an equal and proportionate effect on quantity demanded.

Infinitely elastic demand is perfectly elastic demand. Demand falls to zero when price increases

Perfectly inelastic demand is demand where there is no change in the quantity demanded regardless of changes in price.
