Brazil has a population of about 210​ million, with about 150 million over the age of 15. Of​ these, an estimated 25​ percent, o

r 37.5 million​ people, are functionally illiterate.

Answer the following questions solely from the perspective of new growth​ theory:
Which of the following best explains the implications of​ Brazil's literacy and reading rates for its growth prospects in light of the key tenets of new growth theory.
A. Since economic growth is driven by international trade in technology and​ capital, if Brazil opens its​ borders, its literacy and reading rates will improve as the country experiences economic growth.
B. Since the development of human capital is an important determinant of economic​ growth, Brazil's literacy and reading rates suggests its potential economic growth rate is lower.
C. Since it has been demonstrated that technological advancement and not human capital is the key determinant of economic​ growth, Brazil's literacy and reading rates should not affect its potential economic growth rate.

Answer:

B. Since the development of human capital is an important determinant of economic​ growth, Brazil's literacy and reading rates suggests its potential economic growth rate is lower.

Explanation:

According to the New Growth Theory, it is both human desire and capital the factors that drive economic growth the most.

A literate population that does not read a lot means a lower level of human capital for Brazil, which in turn means that Brazil has a lower potential for economic growth. In order to increase economic growth, the Brazilian government should promote readership among its population.

Suppose an apartment complex converts to a condominium, so that the former renters are now owners of their housing units. Suppos
Lorico [155]

Answer:

GDP is likely to remain same as a result of this conversion.

Explanation:

GDP is the total value of goods & services, produced by an economy, during a given year.

It can be calculated by 2 methods

  • By Expenditure method : GDP = Private Final Capital Expenditure + Govt. Final Consumption Expenditure + Gross Domestic Capital Formation + Net Exports
  • By Income method : NDP = Compensation of Employees + Operating Surplus (Rent + Profit + Income) + Mixed Income

Given case - Converting a rented apartment into a resident owned condominium , with value of housing services = rent formerly paid :

This brings no change in the GDP, as : The apartment 'rent' previously paid was included in 'operating surplus' of national income, by Income method. And, the equal condominium value is now included in investment addition i.e 'Gross domestic capital formation' , by Income method.

Alja [10]

Answer:  $10,906

Explanation:

Given that,

Purchased machinery at the beginning of Year 1 = $86,100

machinery has an estimated life of five years,

Estimated residual value = $4,305

Accumulated depreciation = $49,077 at the end of Year 2

Year 3 Depreciation expense:

You have found an asset with an arithmetic average return of 14.60 percent and a geometric average return of 10.64 percent. Your
Ksju [112]

Answer:

return of the asset =  13.94%

return of the asset =  13.11%

return of the asset = 11.46 %

Explanation:

given data

average return = 14.60 percent

geometric average return = 10.64 percent

observation period = 25 years

solution

we get here return of the asset over year  by Blume formula that is

return of the asset = ( T- 1 ) ÷ ( N - 1)  × geometric average + ( N -T)  ÷ ( N - 1)  × arithmetic average   ..................1

here N is observation period and T is time

put value in equation 1

return of the asset = \frac{5-1}{25-1} *0.1064 + \frac{25-5}{25-1} * 0.1460

return of the asset = 0.1394 = 13.94%

and

return of the assets = \frac{10-1}{25-1} *0.1064 + \frac{25-10}{25-1} * 0.1460

return of the asset = 0.13115 = 13.11%

and

return of the assets = \frac{20-1}{25-1} *0.1064 + \frac{25-20}{25-1} * 0.1460

return of the asset = 0.11465 = 11.46 %
