Answer:

C) causing a shortage of funds for investment in physical capital.

Explanation:

In economics, savings equals investment. Higher investments result in higher productivity, that is why the savings rate of a country is the single most important factor in determining future economic growth.

Low savings rate means that current consumption is very large, and that benefits economic growth on the short run (very short run, like 1 or 2 years), but future economic growth will suffer from it.

Imagine your house as the total economy of a nation. You earn $1,000 per month and must decide how much to spend right now and how much to save for future spending. If you spend the $1,000 right now, you will purchase several things and enjoy them immediately. But what happens in one or two weeks. Since you do not have any more money left, you cannot purchase anything else, which reduces your future joy.

Investment increases future wealth and fosters economic prosperity.

Answer:

C. Causing a shortage of if funds and for investment in physical capital

Explanation:

Savings literally means income not spent or deferred consumption. It involves reducing expenditures on goods and services.

Investment is the allocation of resources in expectation of a benefit in the future. It is the acquiring of assets to yield return.

In economics, savings(S) equals investment(I), that is,

S=I. Savings translate to invest.

This can be concluded that low savings translate to low investment while high savings translate to high investment.

Answer:

$4,775,565.49

Explanation:

The computation of the selling price of the bond is shown below:

Particulars                  Amount PV factor 6%       Present value

Semi-annual interest $216,209 19.60044    $4,237,791.53

Principal                         $3,088,700     0.174110131  $537,773.96

Total                                                       $4,775,565.49

Working notes

Semi-annual interest $216,209 = $3,088,700 × 14% × 6 ÷ 12

PV factor 3%:    

Semi-annual interest 13.76483115      = {(1 - (1.06)^-30) ÷ 0.06 }

Principal 0.174110131  = {1 ÷ 1.03^30}

Suppose housing prices and stock prices decline significantly and cause autonomous consumption spending to decrease by $200 bill
kirill [66]

Answer: The change will be $400 billion.

Explanation: The marginal propensity to consume (MPC) is used to explain that increase in consumption is as a result of increase in income.

To calculate how much the equilibrium real GDP will change:

STEP1: CALCULATE THE MULTIPLIERS

multipliers = 1 ÷ (1 - MPC)

Where MPC = 0.

Therefore;

Multipliers = 1 ÷ (1 - 0.5) = 1 ÷ 0.5

Multipliers = 2

STEP 2: CALCULATE HOW MUCH THE EQUILIBRIUM REAL GDP WILL CHANGE;

Multipliers × change in consumption spending

2 × $200 billion = $400 billion

Equilibrium real GDP will change with $400 billion
