In Maricaibo, incandescent lightbulbs are being replaced with fluorescent lightbulbs, which have fewer negative effects and many

more significant benefits. However, the energy efficiency of fluorescent lightbulbs has driven down the price of lightbulbs so significantly that incandescent lightbulbs can no longer compete. After six months, everybody has switched to the cheaper and better fluorescent lightbulbs. Assume that Spectacula consumes the same quantity of lightbulbs now as they did six months ago. Please select the choice that best describes the short‑run effects of this industrial change on Spectacula's GDP and its standard of living.
a. There is not enough information to answer the question.
b. GDP increases and standard of living decreases.
c. GDP and standard of living both decrease.
d. GDP decreases and standard of living increases.
e. GDP and standard of living both increase.

Answer:

Answer is c.

Explanation:

  1. In the short-run because of cheaper fluorescent lightbulbs at same quantity, GDP decreases. Because monetary value of all finished lightbulbs decreases.
  2. As we know that the generally accepted measure of the standard of living is GDP per capita. This is a nation's GDP divided by its population. So in the short-run as a result of GDP decreasing the standard of living also decreases.

Furkat [3]

Answer:

the amount that she have to donate is $166,666.70

Explanation:

The computation of the amount that she have to donate is shown below:

Donation amount is

= Annual scholarship ÷ (interest rate - inflation rate)

= $2,500 ÷ (5.5% - 4.0%)

= $2,500 ÷ 1.5%

= $166,666.70

hence, the amount that she have to donate is $166,666.70

We simply applied the above formula so that the correct value could come

Suppose labor's share of output is 60% and capital's share of output is 40%. If labor grows at a rate of 5%, then this will caus
12345 [234]

If capital grows at a rate of 5%, then this will cause output to grow at a rate of 1%.

Given,

Labor's share of output = 60%

Capital's share of output = 40%

Labor grows on a rate of = 5%

Capital grows on a rate of = 5%

Thus, output will grow at a rate of = ?

SR(t) = Δy/Δt/Y - (αΔk/Δt/k(t) + (1-α)(ΔL/Δt/L(t))

Here, α = 60%

So, labor's share = (1 - 0.6) × 5  = 2%

Capitals contribution = 0.4 × 5  = 2%

Implied rate of growth in technology is also given,

SR = (5) - (2+2)

= 1%

Hence, if capital grows at a rate of 5%, then this will cause output to grow at a rate of 1%.

Answer:

adding up consumption, investment, government expenses, and net exports

adding up the market prices of final goods and services produced in the U.S

adding up the incomes of producers and taxes paid to the government

Explanation:

GDP is a measure of the sum value of a country's output in a given period. The GDP value reflects economic growth or decline in a country for the period under review.

GDP is calculated using three methods. They include the income, production, and expenditure approach.

In the Income approach, economists add up all the earnings from the factors of production. Wages and salaries of all employees; the profits from businesses and corporates' ; rents, and interests form landlords are summed up to get GDP. Adjustments are made to cater for the taxes paid to the relevant government agencies. ( 4th option)

The production approach involves getting the value of all the finished consumer goods and services in the economy. The approach excludes intermediary goods and work-n progress. GDP is obtained by adding the total of the finished products and services and multiplying them by their prices. (3rd option)

The consumption option applies a formula that GDP = C+G+I+ NX, where C is private consumption expenditure,  G is government consumption and investment expenditure, and I in private investment expenditure. NX is the net imports. ( 1 st option )

Suppose that the price of labor (PL) is $10 and the price of capital (PK) is $20. What is the equation of the isocost line corre
gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

$100 = $10PL + $20PK

Explanation:

Computation for the equation of the isocost line

Using this formula to compute the equation of the isocost line

Total cost=Price of labor (PL)+Price of capital (PK)

Where,

Total cost=$100

Price of labor (PL)=$10

Price of capital (PK)=$20

Now Let plug in the formula to compute the equation of the isocost line

$100 = $10PL + $20PK

Therefore the equation of the isocost line corresponding to a total cost of $100 will be $100 = $10PL + $20PK
