Answer:

an increase; an increase.

b. Offering free public education to every worker in the country. c. Encouraging saving by allowing workers to set aside a portion of their earnings in tax-free retirement accounts.

Explanation:

Based on the available information, the physical capital per worker and the labor productivity in 2028 are higher than those in 2027 due to an increase in productivity. Furthermore, if there could be free education, savings, and funding for research work, productivity will definitely increase. This will enlighten the workers and boost the economy.

astraxan [27]

Answer:

25.94%

Explanation:

Assume, Face value of bond =$1000

Purchase price of twenty year zero coupon bond = 1000/((1+i)^N) . Where, yield = 5% =0.05 , N= number of years to maturity =20

==> Purchase Price = 1000/(1.05^20)

Purchase Price = 1000/2.65329770514

Purchase Price = $376.89

Selling Price after one year:  1000/(1+I)^19. Where i=yield=4%=0.04, N=19

Selling Price=1000/(1.04^19)

Selling Price = 1000/2.10684917599

Selling Price = $474.64

Rate of Return = (474.64/376.89) - 1

Rate of Return = 1.25935949481281 - 1

Rate of Return = 0.2594

Rate of Return = 25.94%
