Although people with high incomes appear to be happier than those with low incomes, people in the United States in general have
IrinaK [193]

Answer:

Real GDP is not the direct indication of happiness, because happiness is dependent on a number of other factors, which when combined can result in a happy life.

Explanation:

Real GDP is defined as the measure of the value of the output of the economy, in the macroeconomics, which reflects the money value of all goods and services produced in a given year. Here the output of the economy is also adjusted for the changes in prices occurring in the year.

According the referred application 3 of the book, it is true that the people of United States have become less happy despite the real GDP rise over the last 30 years. This is because the growth of real GDP is not able to cope up simultaneously with the increased workplace stress, jeopardized married life, traffic congestion, health problems and deterioration of environment.

In conclusion, it can be stated that Money does play an important role in increasing the happiness. However the factor alone is not able to cope up with all the problems and this is true only when all the other factors such as a conducive working environment, happy married life, healthy life are also accompanying more money.

lisov135 [29]

Answer:

a.Titanium = $2,890,500

Platinum = $5,185,000

b. Platinum is more profitable

Explanation:

The computation of given question is shown below:

For Titanium

Total gross margin = 5,000 × $1,590

= $7,950,000

Salaries and bonus of Customer representative = ($68,000 × 5,000 ÷ 200) + (1% × $7,950,000)

= $1,700,000 + $79,500

= $1,779,500

b.

Promotion cost = $2,850,000 × 80%

= $2,280,000

Excess of gross margin over customer costs = Total gross margin - Salaries and bonus of Customer representative - Promotion cost

= $7,950,000 - $1,779,500 - $2,280,000

= $2,890,500

For Platinum

Total Gross margin = 20,000 × $ 325

= $6,500,000

Salaries and bonus of Customer representative = ($68,000 × 20,000 ÷ 2,000) + (1% × $6,500,000 )

= $680,000 + $65,000

= $745,000

Cost of promotion = $2,850,000 × 20%

= $570,000

Since, 80% is allocated for promotion expenses of titanium so we assume 20% for Platinum

Excess of gross margin over customer costs = Total Gross margin - Salaries and bonus of Customer representative - Cost of promotion

= $6,500,000  - $745,000 - $570,000

= $5,185,000

B. Since, Platinum is higher than Titanium. So, Platinum is more profitable.

A stock has an expected return of 12.2 percent, the risk-free rate is 6 percent, and the market risk premium is 10 percent. What
matrenka [14]

Answer:

Beta  = 0.62

Explanation:

<em>The capital pricing model establishes the relationship between expected return from a stock and its systematic  risk . The systematic risk is that which affects all players (businesses and firms) in the entire market, such risks are occassioned by changes in interest rate, exchange rate e.t.c</em>

<em>According to the model , the expected return is computed as follows</em>

E(r)   = Rf  + β(Rm-Rf)

Rf- risk -free rate, Rm-Rf - market premium

  E(r)     = 12.2%,  Rm-Rf  = 10,  β- ?

12.2 = 6%  + β× 10

10β = 12.2 -6

β=  (12.2-6)/10

     = 0.62

slava [35]

Answer:

The answer is: B) Market B

Explanation:

Deadweight loss refers to an economic loss caused by market inefficiencies.

Market inefficiencies occur when supply and demand are not in equilibrium. In market A, the tax will barely affect the equilibrium quantity, so the deadweight loss will not be as large as in market B where the equilibrium quantity will be severely affected.
