First of all, GDP does not include household production, production from the underground economy, intermadiate goods or intermediate servces. That is because we define GDP to be the total of all market values of all final goods and services in the country. Hence, the correct answer by the above definition cannot be d. The point of that definition is that household products cannot have a market value and that if we counted towards the GDP both the value of a Graphics Card and that of the PC, we would double count the value of the Graphics Card, thus overestimating the GDP. We see that the value of new houses are included in GDP since they need materials and services and they have a market value, so b is also excluded. Finally, we have shown that b is true but that this is a good thing and leads to a better estimate of total production; the correct answer is a. Here is an example. If there is an economy where in every house there is plenty of wood and people make wood dolls out of tradition, these dolls will not have a market value if they are kept by the people who made them. Nonetheless they are products too and everyone could just try to sell them the next day at a reasonable price; then, the GDP would get a bump out of nowhere, because it cannot account for household items or the underground economy.

miss Akunina [59]

Answer: The saving rate is 0.30

Explanation:

The Golden Rule savings rate is referred to as the rate of savings which maximizes steady state level or growth of consumption.

Let k be the capital/labour ratio (i.e., capital per capita), y be the resulting per capita output ( y = f(k) ), and s be the savings rate. The steady state is referred to as a situation in which per capita output is unchanging, which implies that k be constant. This requires that the amount of saved output be exactly what is needed to one quip any additional workers and two replace any worn out capital.

In a steady state, therefore: sf(k)=(n+d)k

Growth rate of output =3%

Depreciation rate= 4%

Capital output ratio is (K/Y)

= 2.5

Begin the steady state condition:

S= ( σ + n + g) (k/Y)

S= (0.03+0.04) (2.5)

S= 0.175

Golden rule steady state

MPK= (0.03+0.04)= 0.07

Capital output ratio=

K/Y= Capital share / MPK

K/Y= 0.3/0.07

K/Y= 4.29

In the golden state, the capital output ratio is equal to 4.29 in comparison to the current capital ratio 2.5.

The saving rate consistent with the steady growth rate

S= ( σ + n + g) (k/Y)

S= (0.03 +0.04) (4.29)

S= 0.30

The saving rate that is consistent with the steady growth rate is 0.30

snow_lady [41]

Ending retained earning will be $433750

Net income = $60000

Dividend paid = $56250

We have to find the ending balance

We know that ending retained earning is given by

Ending retained earning = beginning retained earning + net income - dividend paid

icang [17]

Answer:

c. The array of forces attaching people to their jobs.

Explanation:

Job embeddedness is a study of employee retention. It focuses on all the forces and factors that retain an employee on the job. The theory identifies critical elements that determine a connection between an employee and their job.

These elements are Fit, Links and Sacrifice.

Fit is how the employee perceives their own compatibility with the job. Links are the number of connections the employee has in the working community. Sacrifice is the loss of potential benefits, in monetary terms or psychological, when the connections with the social community are broken.

Hope that helps.
