Answer:

c. 1.5%

Explanation:

Food as total Expenditure of Country = 15%

Food's Price rise = 10%

while other components of the price index remain constant price index rise will be calculated as follows:

Price index rise = 15% x 10%

Price index rise = 0.15 x 0.1

Price index rise = 0.015

Price index rise =1.5%

So the correct option is c. 1.5%

Most home insurance policies cover jewelry for $1,000 and silverware for $2,500 unless items are covered with additional insuran
raketka [301]

Answer:

$8,200

Explanation:

The amount of asset that is not covered under the insurance policy would not be claimable so if the amount of insurance policy that covers jewelry of worth $1000 and silverware of worth $2,500 then the total claimable insurance would be $3500 ($1000 for both Jewelry and $2500 for silverware).

The jewelry stolen is worth $5200 and out of it $4200 is not claimable because $1000 of this is covered under the insurance policy. Likewise the silverware worth of $6500 has been stolen of which $4000 is not claimable because $2500 of this is covered under the insurance policy.

The claim that would be not covered under the insurance policy would be:

Non claimable insurance amount = ($5,200 - $1,000) + ($6,500 - $2,500)

= $8,200

At the current steady state capital-labor ratio, assume that the steady state level of per capita consumption, (C/N)*, is greate
Blizzard [7]

Answer:

C) a reduction in the saving rate will have an ambiguous effect on (C/N)*

Explanation:

The steady state consumption refers to the difference between how capital wears out or depreciates vs total output. In order to keep a steady state consumption, the savings rate (which equals investment) must be enough to replace any worn out or completely depreciated capital.

Since the consumption rate is already higher than the steady state consumption, the effect of a decrease in the savings rate is ambiguous. Every dollar earned by a household is either spent or saved, and in order for savings to decrease, spending must increase.

But in this case, the spending level is already too high. A decrease in savings should increase consumption but the effects of the increase in the capital labor ratio and the per capita consumption are not certain.

When analyzing the key elements of a country's economic environment, it is best to apply a systems perspective?
Alenkasestr [34]
True. When you analyze the key elements of a country's economic perspective environment, it is best to apply a systems perspective. When you follow the systems perspective you should be taking all of the behaviors, attributes and actions of a system when it's in its environment. instead of individualizing people and things within, it's an overall evaluation of the system.

Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

4. $3.00...$2.73

Explanation:

Basic EPS = Net income/average number of shares outstanding

                 = 1500000/500000

                 = $3 per share

Diluted EPS = 1500000/(500000 + 50000)

                    = $2.73 per share

Therefore, Colt should report earnings per share for 2018:

Basic Earnings Per Share of $3

Diluted Earnings Per Share of $2.73
