Answer:

c. Increase by $0.1 trillion

Explanation:

Investment spending Multiplier is a concept in economics that measure how a given change in investment increases output. So if current output of $13.5 trillion must increase to $14 trillion, we employ the multiplier formula to derive what amount of investment spending is needed to get $o.5trillion increase in output.

(change in output)/ (change in investment) = 1/(1-mpc)

Note that mpc means marginal propensity to consume.

Let change in investment = X

change in output = 14 - 13.5 = $0.5trillion

mpc = 0.8

(0.5)/X = 1(1-0,8)

0.5/X = 1/0.2

cross multiply

X = 0.1

Thus the needed change in investment is an increase of $0.1 trillion. In other words, if investment increases by $0.1 trillion, current output will increase from $13.5 trillion to $14 trillion.

Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

Here all of these options are wrong , the correct answer is regardless of how the tax is levied the burden of tax would be shared by both the seller and buyer.

Explanation:

Tax can be said as primary source of income for the government. When a tax is levied on the goods , the burden of that would have to be bear by both buyer and seller , irrelevant of how that levied . If the taxes are high then the demand by buyer would be less and seller would receive low price because less people would buy and n the case where taxes are low demand would be high and seller would receive high prices ,in both cases tax would be levied on both seller and buyer and how much it would be depends upon the elasticity of demand and supply. So all the statements given here are false or invalid.

Savatey [412]

Answer:

$2,600

Explanation:

We will have to focus on the annual result and the dividends that were paid because these dividends decreases the retained earnings. There is no impact of can flow while insurance of stock falls withing result for the year.

In 2016, income was $1,200 minus dividends allocated $200

= $1,200 - $200

Retained earnings= $1,000

2017 result of ($500) without dividend distribution;

Retained earnings = ($500)

2018, result of $2,300 and distribution dividends of $200

= $2,300 - $200

Retained earnings= $2,100

Total retained earnings =$1,000 + (500) + $2,100

= $2,600
