Answer:

Real GDP will decrease by $50 billion.

Explanation:

In order to calculate the net effect of a reduction in consumption of $10 billion, we need to identify the multiplier first.

Multiplier = 1 / marginal propensity to save

Marginal propensity = 1 - marginal propensity to consume = 1-0.8 = 0.2

Multiplier = 1 /0.2 = 5

The net change then of a reduction by 10 billion = 10 * 5 = $50 billion

Hope that helps.

velikii [3]

The amount of effort that you put into your courses increases the marginal

cost of your education.

Marginal cost refers to the incremental cost which is accrued as a result of

increase in goods and services.

In this scenario, amount of effort put into courses entails more time and

money spent from buying of books and other materials. This therefore

depicts an increase in the incremental and marginal cost.

tiny-mole [99]

Answer: C- Encoding

A machine with a cost of $75,000 has an estimated residual value of $5,000 and an estimated life of 4 years or 18,000 hours. Wha
allochka39001 [22]

Answer:

The answer is:  $18, 750

Explanation:

The double-declining-balance(DDB) method entails computing depreciation of an asset at an accelerated rate. This method is employed when the asset loses value quickly and is expected to generate more revenue at the earlier stages of its useful life. The depreciation is higher at the beginning and lower close to the end of the asset's useful life. The depreciation is computed as follows:

Depreciation = 2 * straight line depreciation percentage * Book value at the beginning of the period

Machine cost: $75, 000

Residual Value: $5, 000

Estimated Life: 4 years/18, 000 hours

Straight line depreciation percentage : 100/4 = 25%

Depreciation Year 1 on DDB =  2 * 25% * $75, 000

                                               = $37, 500

Depreciation Year 2 on DDB =  2 * 25% * ($75, 000 -$37, 500)

                                               = $18, 750
