Answer:

39 years

Explanation:

Under the rule of 70, the economy doubles its real GDP per capita income

In this the computation is done by dividing the 70 by the annual growth rate

So, the formula is shown below:

Time period = Rule of 70 ÷ growth rate

where,

Growth rate is 1.8%

So, the time period at which the GDP doubles is

= 70 ÷ 1.8

= 39 years

By dividing the rule of 70 by the growth rate we can find the number of years at which the GDP doubles

oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

  1. Contain Yourself!, a plastic container company, raises the price of its signature Lunchbox container from $3.00 to $4.00 . As a result, the quantity sold drops from 20,000 to 15,000 = unit elastic
  2. Economists working for the United States have determined that the elasticity of demand for gasoline is 0.5 = inelastic
  3. Capital Metro decides to increase bus fare rates from $2.00 to $2.21 . Consequently, the number of passengers who decide to take the bus in Austin drops from an average of 70,000 riders a day to an average of 61,000 riders a day = elastic

Explanation:

  1. The demand for unit elasticity is an intermediate situation between an elastic and an inelastic demand curve, in which the price elasticity is equal to one, which means that given variations in the price, the total income does not change (price per quantity). Eslasticity=1
  2. Demand is inelastic when the percentage variation of the quantity demanded is less than the percentage variation of the price. Elasticity less than 1
  3. Elastic demand is when a small variation in the price causes a more than proportional change in the quantity demanded. Elasticity more than 1

Unions contribute to a. cyclical unemployment. b. frictional unemployment. c. structural unemployment. d. seasonal unemployment.
sveticcg [70]

Answer:

The correct answer is d. c. structural unemployment.

Explanation:

Structural unemployment is due to the fact that the number of existing jobs is insufficient to give employment to everyone who wants a worker (active population).

When a union raises wages above the equilibrium level, it increases the supply of employment and reduces demand. This generates unemployment.

• Internal workers benefit from  high salaries earned in negotiation  collective

• External workers have difficulties in  find a job or have to accept a job in a non-union company.

mash [69]

Tax is calculated using the formula:

Tax amount = (% Tax)

After-tax income can be calculated using the formula:

After-tax income = (1 - %tax / 100) * Income

We are given that:

% tax = 40%

Say for the income, this is only the amount needed for the Mercedes so, Income = $60,000

After-tax income = (1 – 40 / 100) * $60,000

<span>After-tax income = $36,000</span>
