Answer: The change will be $400 billion.

Explanation: The marginal propensity to consume (MPC) is used to explain that increase in consumption is as a result of increase in income.

To calculate how much the equilibrium real GDP will change:

STEP1: CALCULATE THE MULTIPLIERS

multipliers = 1 ÷ (1 - MPC)

Where MPC = 0.

Therefore;

Multipliers = 1 ÷ (1 - 0.5) = 1 ÷ 0.5

Multipliers = 2

STEP 2: CALCULATE HOW MUCH THE EQUILIBRIUM REAL GDP WILL CHANGE;

Multipliers × change in consumption spending

2 × $200 billion = $400 billion

Equilibrium real GDP will change with $400 billion

If a one-year bond has a face value of $5,000 and is sold for $4,500, what is the interest rate on the bond?
Arada [10]

Answer:

11.1%

Explanation:

The face value is $5000

It is sold for $4,500

Therefore the interest rate of this bond can be calculated as follows

$5000-$4500

= 500

500/4500 × 100

= 0.111 × 100

= 11.1%

Hence the interest rate is 11.1%

Why does the market portfolio include all risky assets?
Bezzdna [24]
Under the CAPM, all investors hold the market portfolio because it is the optimal risky portfolio. Because it produces the highest attainable return for any given risk level, all rational investors will seek to be on the straight line tangent to the efficient set at the steepest point, which is the market portfolio.

When asking questions during criticism, it is best to be _______. A. Understated b. Defensive c. Open minded d. Annoyed.
4vir4ik [10]

Criticism is the construction or the indication of the displeasure of a reasonable and thorough analysis established on the perceived shortcomings or mistakes.

Open-mindedness is the correct blank for the statement.

<h3>What are the factors of the Criticism?</h3>

  • During a reproval or denunciation of any topic or person, one should be open-minded to take the discussion seriously but in a positive manner.

  • If the person asking the questions during the criticism is understated that is denying the clear emphasis and tries to always defend the allegations and facts results in negative criticism.

  • An annoyed interviewer who does not positively take the criticism and always gets agitated cannot be a healthy way to discuss the topic for.

Therefore, option c. is correct.
