Answer:
A. Multifactor productivity
Original Value of output 2500 un. x $200/un. = $500,000 Value of input 2500 un x $120/un. = $300,000 Multi-factor productivity $500,000/$300,000 = 1.67 Overtime Value of output 4000 un. x $200/un. = $800,000 Value of input 4000 un. x $144/un. = $576,000 Multi-factor productivity $800,000/$576,000 = 1.39 Multi-factor productivity (1.67 – 1.39) / 1.67 = 16.8% decrease
B. LABOR PRODUCTIVITY
Original Value of output 2500 un. x $200/un. = $500,000 Input = (100 people x 40 hr/person) = 4000 hours Labor productivity $500,000/4000 hr = $125/hr Overtime Value of output 4000 un. x $200/un. = $800,000 Input = (100 people x 72 hr/person) = 7200 hours Labor productivity $800,000/7200 hr = $111/hr Labor productivity ($125/hr – $111/hr) / $125/hr = 11.1% decrease
C.GROSS PROFITS
Original $500,000 - $300,000 = $200,000 Overtime $800,000 - $576,000 = $224,000
$24,000 increase
Answer:
Explanation:
If the government changes taxes without changing government spending to eliminate the recessionary gap, will the minimum required change in taxes be greater than, smaller than, or equal to the minimum required change in government spending?
The minimum required change in taxes will be greater than that of the minimum required change in government spending
tax multiplier (mpc/mps = 0/8/0.2=0.4) is smaller than the government spending multiplier (1/mps= 1/.2=5) because of the initial increase in disposable income caused by the decrease in income tax will be saved rather than spent
Answer:
Quarterly income = $ 36,643.03
Explanation:
The quarterly income ca be determined using the present value of the annuity technique.
The Present Value of the annuity technique
PV = A × ((1- (1+r)^(-n)/r
A- quarterly payment, n- number of quarters, quarterly rate, PV - Present of investment
A- ? n -3× 12= 36, r-12%/4= 3%
800,000 = A× (1- (1.03)^(-36)
800,000 = A× (1- (1.03)^(-36)
800,000 = A × 21.8322525
A = 800,000/21.8322525
A= 36,643.03
Quarterly income = $ 36,643.03
