Answer: About 16 years

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to find the compound amount if compounded continuously is given by :-

A=Pe^{rt}, where P is Principal amount, r is the rate of interest ( in decimal) and t is time ( in years).

Given : P= $1000   ;    r= 4.6%=0.046

let t be the time it will take to double the amount, the  we have

2(1000)=(1000)e^{0.046\times t}

Dividing 1000 both sides, we get

2=e^{0.046 t}

Taking natural log on each side, we get

\ln2=\ln(0.046\times t)\\\\\Rightarrow\ 0.6931=0.046t\\\\\Rightarrow\ t=\dfrac{0.6931}{0.046}=15.0673913043\approx16\text{ years}

Hence, it will take about 16 years to double the amount.

Katen [24]

Answer: There is change of $0.9 billion in government expenditures.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we know that

Marginal propensity to consume tells that the rate at which there is change in consumption due to change in income.

According to our situation, MPC is the change in amount of gross domestic product due to change in government expenditure.

So, it becomes,

MPC=\dfrac{\text{Change in gross domestic product}}{\text{Change in government expenditure}}\\\\0.9=\dfrac{x}{1}\\\\x=0.9

Hence, there is change of $0.9 billion in government expenditures.

Filling in the numbers, we have ...

  percent change = (181.5 -44.2)/44.2 × 100% ≈ 311%

The global area increased by 311% over the interval.
