Answer: The saving rate is 0.30

Explanation:

The Golden Rule savings rate is referred to as the rate of savings which maximizes steady state level or growth of consumption.

Let k be the capital/labour ratio (i.e., capital per capita), y be the resulting per capita output ( y = f(k) ), and s be the savings rate. The steady state is referred to as a situation in which per capita output is unchanging, which implies that k be constant. This requires that the amount of saved output be exactly what is needed to one quip any additional workers and two replace any worn out capital.

In a steady state, therefore: sf(k)=(n+d)k

Growth rate of output =3%

Depreciation rate= 4%

Capital output ratio is (K/Y)

= 2.5

Begin the steady state condition:

S= ( σ + n + g) (k/Y)

S= (0.03+0.04) (2.5)

S= 0.175

Golden rule steady state

MPK= (0.03+0.04)= 0.07

Capital output ratio=

K/Y= Capital share / MPK

K/Y= 0.3/0.07

K/Y= 4.29

In the golden state, the capital output ratio is equal to 4.29 in comparison to the current capital ratio 2.5.

The saving rate consistent with the steady growth rate

S= ( σ + n + g) (k/Y)

S= (0.03 +0.04) (4.29)

S= 0.30

The saving rate that is consistent with the steady growth rate is 0.30

DedPeter [7]

Economic profit is calculated as:

Economic profit = Total Revenues – Total Cost

Total cost both includes explicit and implicit cost. In this case, the explicit cost is $8,000 while the implicit cost is $64,000. Explicit cost is a direct payment made to run the business while implicit cost is the opportunity as accountant that is lost. Therefore,

Economic profit = $150,000 – ($8,000 + $64,000)

<span>Economic profit = $78,000</span>

user100 [1]

Answer:

Yes the absolute privilege for communications made in judicial or other official proceedings apply to statements made when a citizen contracts the police to report suspected criminal activity

Explanation:

Absolute priviledge for communication is the provision that covers a person from legal action on grounds of defamation for statements made. Under certain circumstances a person can make defamatory statements and be immune from legal action.

In this scenario Lydia Harberg went to California Federal Bank to cash a check that was suspected to be fake.

Nolene Showalter contacted SB to confirm. Based on the information provided at that time, the check was confirmed to be fake. The implication was that a fraud was being perpetrated.

So his action of calling the police is justified. SB only verified they gave out wrong information the first time

Assume that you are a high-level manager for a shoe manufacturer. You know that your firm could increase its profit margin by pr
Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

The issue here is that you need to balance your company's profits and possible negative due to bad press.

On one side (the good and righteous side), if you do not produce shoes in Asia, your long term survival economic is doubtful, but people view your company as a company that does the right thing no matter what. Will it increase sales? Theoretically it should, but in practice it doesn't. Are Nike sales hurt because each shoe is produced in an Asian country that pays $0.25 per day? No, they aren't. The same applies to Reebok, Adidas, Puma, New Balance and every single major shoe manufacturer in the world. Bad press hurt tuna back in the 80's, but some companies are not affected by it.

The alternative (the evil, dark side of the force side) results in your company being able to survive on the long term. It will not necessarily mean that your company will grow and become the world's largest shoe manufacturer, but you will be able to survive and continue to operate.

There is also a trick that you can use to avoid reputational damage and bad press, and that is to establish a foreign subsidiary in Indonesia using a different name. Then your foreign subsidiary sells you the manufactured goods, and the blame fall son the subsidiary. Believe it or not, that simple solution is used by most corporations including clothing manufacturers, electronics, toys, etc.

If you analyze this from an ethical point of view, the alternative is much simpler. Producing in Indonesia (or India, or Burma, or Pakistan, or Vietnam, etc.) and paying a $100 salary will allow a family to live a very decent life and probably even prosper. They will have a much better lifestyle than the rest of their neighborhood. Each Indonesian worker represents one less poor family in Indonesia. On the other hand, American families will probably get hurt, but it is also much easier for an American worker to get another job that pays a normal wage (in US standards) and allows them to live well.
