Answer:

-0.5

Explanation:

Marginal rate of technical substitution (MRTS) refers to the rate at which the inputs are substituted for one another in a production of particular good.

Given that,

The marginal product of labor = 10

The marginal product of capital = 20

Hence,

MRTS=(-)\frac{MP_{L} }{MP_{K} }

MRTS=(-)\frac{10}{20}

                 = - 0.5

Therefore, the marginal rate of technical substitution is - 0.5.

elena-s [515]

Answer: -2.55%

Explanation:

The formula to calculate Forward Rate is:

Forward Rate = Spot rate X \frac{1 + I_{O} }{1 + I_{D} }

where I_{O} is the Interest rate of the overseas country and

I_{D} is the Interest rate of the domestic country

$0.0052 = 0.005 X  \frac{1 + 0.0135 }{1 + I_{D} }

$0.0052 X {1 + I_{D} } =  0.005 X  1.0135

$0.0052 X {1 + I_{D} } =  0.0050675

{1 + I_{D} } =  \frac{0.0050675}{0.0052}

{1 + I_{D} } =  0.9745 - 1

{I_{D} } =  - 0.02548

padilas [110]

Answer:

Yes, I would recommend those sleeping 9 hours to consider sleeping 6 or 7 hours.

Explanation:

First of all, the sample of the study is very representative because the amount of observations is quite big: 1.1 million!. This means that the results of the study have a very low margin of error, and therefore, can be trusted.

Secondly, the calculations are simple, but correct. The easiest way to determine the mortality rate is to divide the number of people who died by the number of people who are still living, and who belong to the same sample.
