Answer:
A. $57,000
B. Depreciation rate per mile is $0.19
C. Depreciation is $14,630
Explanation:
a. cost of the truck less the residual value.
Cost of the truck $69,000
Less: Residual value <u>$12,000</u>
$57,000
b. Depreciation rate per mile is computed by dividing cost of the truck less the residual value over the estimated useful life.
$57,000 / 300,000 miles = $0.19
c. Units-of-activity depreciation for the year is computed by multiplying miles driven for the year by depreciation rate per mile.
77,000 miles x $0.19 = $14,630
Answer: (b) -3.08
Explanation:
The relationship between the demand(q), price per unit product(p) and the disposable income,yd is given by the expression below;
q= 20ln(7yd-2p).
From the expression above, the marginal demand,
∂ q/∂ p is the differential of the equation of relationship between the demand, price and disposable income.
This involves considering the demand,q as the dependent variable and the price per unit product,p as the independent variable and the disposable income,yd is considered constant.
Therefore ,
∂ q/∂ p= (-40)÷(7yd-2p)
By substitution of
yd =$3000÷1000= $3
and p= $4
∂ q/∂ p= (-40)÷((7×$3)-(2×$4))
∂ q/∂ p= -40÷13= 3.08
Please see the attachment for knowledge on how ∂ q/∂ p was obtained.
Answer:
A. nominal interest rate is equal to the expected inflation rate plus the equilibrium real interest rate.
Explanation:
Inflation can be defined as the persistent general rise in the price of goods and services in an economy at a specific period of time.
Generally, inflation usually causes the value of money to fall and as a result, it imposes more cost on an economy.
When this persistent rise in the price of goods and services in an economy becomes rapid, excessive, unbearable and out of control over a period of time, it is generally referred to as hyperinflation.
The Fisher effect states that the nominal interest rate is equal to the expected inflation rate plus the equilibrium real interest rate.
Thus, the real interest rate in a particular country's economy equals the nominal interest rate minus the expected inflation rate.
All things being equal (Ceteris paribus), the expected inflation rate of a country's economy would eventually cause an equal rise in the interest rate that the deposits of the country's currency can offer. Also, as inflation increases, the real interest rate falls or decreases.
