<span>The marginal propensity to consume is a metric
that quantifies the concept of increase in consumption with an increase in
income. Mathematically MPC is defined as:</span>
MPC = Change in consumption / Change in income
Purchase of goods and services is considered as
consumption, therefore:
Change in consumption = $16 billion
In the government’s perspective, taxes are
considered as income, therefore the problem ask us to find for the necessary change
in tax collection to maintain equilibrium GDP. Substituting the values in the
formula:
0.80 = $16 billion / Change in income
Change in income = $20 billion
<span>Therefore the government should increase the tax collection by $20
billion.</span>
Answer:
current yield 8.2089552%
YTM = 8.05%
effective annual yield = 4.92%
Explanation:
(A)
current yield = C/P
coupon payment / market price
8.8/107.2 = 0.082089552 = 8.2089552%
(B)
First par being the present value of the coupon payment and second the redeem of the face value at the end of the bond.
market price 107.2
face value 100
time = 19
rate 8.8%
C = annual coupon payment 100 x 8.8% = 8.8
You solve this using a financial calculation and get the semiannual rate
YTM/2 = 0.040268160
then multiply by 2 to get the annual YTM
0.040268160 x 2 =
YTM = 0.08053632 = 8.05%
(C)
Effective Annual Yield
where:
Holding period return:
In this case:
coupon payment + redem - investment = net return
8.8 * 19 + 100 - 107.2 = 160
160/107.2 = 1.492537313
Then
EAY = 0.049242509 = 4.9242509%
Answer:
5.09%
Explanation:
The internal rate of return is the discount rate that equates the after tax cash flows from an investment to the amount invested.
IRR can be calculated using a financial calculator.
Cash flow in year 0 = $-600,000
Cash flow each year from year 1 to 29 = $48,000 - $16,000 = $32,000
Cash flow in year 30 = $32,000 + $500,000 = $532,000
IRR = 5.09%
To find the IRR using a financial calacutor:
1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
2. After inputting all the cash flows, press the IRR button and then press the compute button.

Answer: In the second statement
Explanation: Supply and demand are two market forces which determines the price of a commodity. In simple words, the amount of commodity that the consumers are willing to buy at a given price is called demand and the producer are willing to sell is called supply. The situation in which the two are equal is called equilibrium.
If the demand for a product is higher than its supply then its price will increase and vice versa.
Thus, from the above we can conclude that the second statement is correct.
