Answer:
is the addition to total output due to the addition of the last unit of an input, holding all other inputs constant.
Explanation:
The marginal product of an input is the change in total output as a result of the change in output by 1 unit
For example, the table below is the total product of labour
amount of labour output
1 10
2 20
3 40
the marginal product of the 3rd worker = (40 - 20) / (3 - 2) = 20
marginal product of the second worker = (20 - 10) / (2 -1 ) = 10
Average output = total output / labour

Answer:
$120 billion
Explanation:
Economy operating at $300 billion above its natural level of output.
Marginal propensity to consume, MPC = 3/5 = 0.6
For closing this expansionary gap, the government have to decrease its spending by the amount calculated as follows:
Spending multiplier:
= 1/ (1 - MPC)
= 1/ (1 - 0.6)
= 1/ 0.4
= 2.5
Hence, the government spending reduces by
= Expansionary gap ÷ Spending multiplier
= $300 ÷ 2.5
= $120 billion
Answer:
AFS 2004 market price decline exceeded 2005 market price recovery
No No
The security cannot be classified as available-for-sale because the unrealized gains and losses are recognized in the Income Statement. Unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities are recognized in owners' equity, not earnings.
The second part of the question is somewhat ambiguous. The 2004 price decline could exceed or be exceeded by the 2005 price recovery. The loss in the first year is not related in amount and does not constrain the realized gain in the second year.
The way to answer the question is to read the right column heading as implying that the earlier price decline must exceed the later price recovery. With that interpretation, the correct answer is no.
For example, assume a cost of $10 and a market value of $4 at the end of the first year. An unrealized loss of $6 is recognized in earnings. During the second year, the security is sold for $12. A realized gain of $8 is recognized-the increase in the market value from the end of the first year to the sale in the second year. Thus, the market decline in the first year did not exceed the recovery in year two. (It could have exceeded the recovery in year two but there is no requirement that it must.)
