Answer:

MPC = 0.8

MPC = 0.2

Explanation:

Marginal propensity to consume is the proportion of an increase in income that is spent on consumption.

Marginal propensity to consume = increase in consumption / increase in disposable income

Marginal propensity to save is the proportion of an increase in income that is saved.

Marginal propensity to save = increase in savings / increase in disposable income

Disposable income is either consumed or saved. so,

Marginal propensity to consume + marginal propensity to save = 1

Marginal propensity to consume = $64 / $80 = 0.8

Marginal propensity to save = $16 / $80 = 0.2

I hope my answer helps you

Answer: MPC = 0.8 ; MPS = 0.2

Explanation:

Given the following ;

Increase in disposable income = $80 billion

Increase in consumption = $64 billion

Increase in savings = $16 billion

The disposable income of a country can be regarded as the that part of a country's or an individual's income which isn't subject to any sort of deduction such tax which one can decide to save, spend on consumption or investment.

Marginal Propensity to Consume(MPC) = ratio of the tendency of an economy or individual to spend on consumption with change in value or amount of disposable income

MPC = Increase in consumption /increase in disposable income

MPC = $64 billion / $80 billion = 0.8

2. Marginal Propensity to Save(MPS) = ratio of the tendency of an economy or individual to save its income with change in value or amount of disposable income

MPS = Increase in saving /increase in disposable income

MPS = $16 billion / $80 billion = 0.2

Summing up both MPS and MPC will always give a value of 1, As disposable income are always placed in either of the two categories : Consumption or Saving.

MrRa [10]

Answer:

B. 200

Explanation:

At Break even point:

Total costs= Total revenue

In the given question

Total costs=Total variable costs+total fixed costs

                 =$1 *number of cards to be sold+$400

Total revenue=$3*number of cards to be sold

$1 *number of cards to be sold+$400=$3*number of cards to be sold

$3*number of cards to be sold-$1 *number of cards to be sold=$400

$2*number of cards to be sold-=$400

Number of units to be sold=$400/$2=200

So based on the above calculations, the answer shall be B. 200

slava [35]

Answer:

Shannon's taxable income after considering capital loss=$44,000

Explanation:

Taxable income is the total amount of income that a taxpayer is liable to. Different individuals are liable to different levels of tax. There are various factor that have to be considered to calculate the amount of taxes one needs to pay. For ease in computation, these factors are used to categorize individuals into different groups depending on;

1. Age

2. Marital status: whether single or married

3. Whether one has a child or not

4. Employment status

In the case of Shannon, who has a long-term capital loss of $7,000. The tax laws stipulates that she can deduct up to a maximum of $3,000 in long-term or short-term capital loss each year. With this inform, we can now calculate the taxable income as shown;

Taxable income=Taxable income-capital loss deduction

where;

Taxable income=$47,000

capital loss deduction=$3,000

replacing;

Taxable income=47,000-3,000=$44,000

Shannon's taxable income after considering capital loss=$44,000

Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

a. 17.5

b. 12

Explanation:

Given that

Marginal cost = $100

The computation of optimal contract length is given below :-

Marginal benefit = Marginal cost (length )

a. $100 = 30 + 4L

L = 70 ÷ 4

= 17.5

b) 100 = 40 + 5L

L = 60 ÷ 5

= 12

Therefore, for calculating the optimal contract length simply we calculate both the equations equals with marginal benefit to the marginal cost (length)
