Answer:
The output growth rate is 3%.
Explanation:
Use the growth accounting equation as follow
ΔA% = ΔY% - αΔK% - βΔL%
Where
∆A = change in productivity = 2%
∆K = growth in capital =
∆L = growth in labor =
α = elasticity of capital = 0.2
β = elasticity of labor = 0.8
∆Y = change in output = ?
Placing values in the formula
2% = ΔY% - ( 0.2 x 1% ) – ( 0.8 x 1% )
2% = ΔY% - 1%
ΔY% = 2% + 1%
ΔY% = 3%
Hence, the output growth rate is 3%.
Answer:
B.
Explanation:
The sentence is too long and it is missing proper punctuations(like a comma). Reading it without punctuation does not provide room for breathing and therefore needs editing. It will be correct if framed like this; Although you may not have received the e-mail, we have been informed that the division head of the Finance Department is leaving at the end of the month. This sentence has a comma in the right place.
Answer:
the amount of money that must be invested now is $21068.87
Explanation:
Given that:
Nominal interest = 10%
Annuity = 7000
n = 8 years
The Effective interest rate is calculated by using the formula:
Effective interest rate = 
Effective interest rate = 
Effective interest rate = 0.1045
Effective interest rate = 10.45 %
Thus ; the the amount of money that must be invested now is the present value with the annuity of $7, 000 per year for 12 years, starting eight years from now.
PV = 7000 × 6.666056912 × 0.4515171371
PV = $21068.87
Thus; the amount of money that must be invested now is $21068.87
Answer: d. 3.82%
Explanation:
ROE = Net Income / Equity so Equity need to be ascertained.
1.75 = Total Assets/ Total Equity
Total Equity = Total Assets/ 1.75
1.33 = Revenue / Total Assets
Total Assets = Revenue / 1.33
= 320,000/1.33
= $240,601.50
Total Equity = 240,601.50/1.75
= $137,486.57
Old ROE = 10,549/ 137,489.57
= 0.07672582
= 7.67%
New ROE = (10,549 + 5,250) / 137,489.57
= 0.11491053466
= 11.49%
Difference = 11.49 - 7.67
= 3.82%
