Consider the economies of Hermes and Gobbledigook, both of which produce gobs of goo using only tools and workers. Suppose that,

during the course of 20 years, the level of physical capital per worker rises by 4 tools per worker in each economy, but the size of each labor force remains the same. Complete the following tables by entering productivity (in terms of output per worker) for each economy in 2016 and 2036.
Year Hermes
Physical Capital Labor Force Output Productivity
(Tools per worker) (Workers) (Gobs of goo) (Gobs per worker)
2016 11 30 3,000
2036 15 30 3,600
Year Gobbledigook
Physical Capital Labor Force Output Productivity
(Tools per worker) (Workers) (Gobs of goo) (Gobs per worker)
2016 8 30 2,400
2036 12 30 3,600
Initially, the number of tools per worker was higher in Hermes than in Gobbledigook. From 2016 to 2036, capital per worker rises by 4 units in each country. The 4-unit change in capital per worker causes productivity in Hermes to rise by a_______ amount than productivity in Gobbledigook. This illustrates the effect_______which makes it______for countries with low output to catch up to those with higher output.

Answer:

Hermes

Productivity (Gobs per worker)

2016    100

2036    120

Gobbledigook

Productivity

(Gobs per worker)

2016    80

2036    120

Initially, the number of tools per worker was higher in Hermes than in Gobbledigook. From 2016 to 2036, capital per worker rises by 4 units in each country. The 4-unit change in capital per worker causes productivity in Hermes to rise by a SMALLER  amount than productivity in Gobbledigook. This illustrates the effect OF CATCH UP which makes it POSSIBLE for countries with low output to catch up to those with higher output.

Explanation:

Hermes

Year Physical Capital Labor Force Output Productivity

(Tools per worker) (Workers) (Gobs of goo) (Gobs per worker)

2016    11    30      3,000  3,000/30=100

2036    15     30     3,600  3,600/30=120

Gobbledigook

Year Physical Capital Labor Force Output Productivity

(Tools per worker) (Workers) (Gobs of goo) (Gobs per worker)

2016   8   30   2,400 2,400/30=80

2036 12    30 3,600   3,600/30=120

Initially, the number of tools per worker was higher in Hermes than in Gobbledigook. From 2016 to 2036, capital per worker rises by 4 units in each country. The 4-unit change in capital per worker causes productivity in Hermes to rise by a SMALLER  amount than productivity in Gobbledigook. This illustrates the effect of CATCH UP which makes it POSSIBLE for countries with low output to catch up to those with higher output.

Elis [28]

Answer:

a. Profit = $780,000

b. Profit = $3,780,000

c. Loss = $2,220,000

Explanation:

Note: This question is not complete. The complete question is therefore provided before answering the question as follows:

Beedles Inc. needed to raise $14 million in an IPO and chose Security Brokers Inc. to underwrite the offering. The agreement stated that Security Brokers would sell 3 million shares to the public and provide $14 million in net proceeds to Beedles. The out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Security Brokers in the design and distribution of the issue were $220,000. What profit or loss would Security Brokers incur if the issue were sold to the public at the following average price

a. $5 per share

b. $6 per share

c. $4 per share

The explanation of the answer is now given as follows:

The profit or loss can be calculated using the following formula:

Profit or loss = Sales proceed - Net proceeds to Beedles - Out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Security Brokers ........... (1)

Where;

Sales proceed = Average price * Number of shares = Average price per share * 3,000,000

Net proceeds to Beedles = 14,000,000

Out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Security Brokers = $220,000

We can proceed as follows:

a. profit or loss at average price $5 per share

Substituting all the values into equation (1), we have:

Profit or loss = ($5 * 3,000,000) - $14,000,000 - $220,000 = $780,000 profit

b. profit or loss at average price $6 per share

Substituting all the values into equation (1), we have:

Profit or loss = ($6 * 3,000,000) - $14,000,000 - $220,000 = $3,780,000  profit

c. profit or loss at average price $4 per share

Substituting all the values into equation (1), we have:

Profit or loss = ($4 * 3,000,000) - $14,000,000 - $220,000 = -$2,220,000 loss

A customer buys 100 shares of ABC at $17 as the initial transaction in a new margin account. The customer must deposit:______
Elena L [17]

Answer:

$1,700

Explanation:

Although the minimum equity to open a long margin account is $2,000. However, this does not apply if the securities in the account are paid fully.

It will amount to potential loss if a customer is asked to deposit more than 100% when buying. Since the customer wants to buy 1,700 of stock, it means that 100% or $1,700 (100 shares × $17) must be deposited.

If a bank that desires to hold no excess reserves and has just enough reserves to meet the required reserve ratio of 10 percent
Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

 c. $360 increase in excess reserves and a $40 increase in required reserves

Explanation:

Required reserves is the amount of reserves that is required by the Central bank that banks should keep.

Required reserve = reserve ratio × deposit

= 0.1 × $400 = $40

Excess reserve is the amount of reserves kept in excess of the required reserves.

Excess reserve = Deposit - Required reserve = $400 - $40 = $360

nalin [4]

Answer:

4%

Explanation:

The Gordon constant growth dividend model =

Value = dividend / cost of capital - growth rate

Subsisting with the values given in the question gives :

25 = 2.5/0.14 - g

To solve for g,

1. multiply both sides by 0.14 - g

25(0.14 -g) = 2.5

2. divide both sides by 25

0.14 - g = 0.10

g = 0.04 = 4%
