Answer:

B: Purchasing a new computer

Explanation:

Investing your money in a new computer does not teach you new skills so it would not be counted as an investment in human capital. Obtaining a college degree, attending a first-aid class, and paying for cooking lessons enhances your creativity and skills so they are the perfect examples of investments in human capital. Moreover, one of the major characteristics of investing in human capital is that they are intangible so that's another reason why purchasing a new computer cannot be categorized as an investment in human capital.

Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

The total purchase price of the plant allocated to the land, building, and machinery is $140,840, $509,707 and $355,453 respectively

Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

For land

= Total purchase price × appraisal value of land ÷ total appraisal value

= $1,006,000 × $126,000 ÷ $900,000

= $140,840

For building

= Total purchase price × appraisal value of building ÷ total appraisal value

= $1,006,000 × $456,000 ÷ $900,000

= $509,707

For machinery

= Total purchase price × appraisal value of land ÷ total appraisal value

= $1,006,000 × $318,000 ÷ $900,000

= $355,453

where, the total purchase price is

= $1,000,000 + $6,000

= $1,006,000

Suppose that national income in a country is $300 billion, taxes paid by households is $130 billion, household consumption is $1

zhenek [66]

The savings then decline if the consumption increases. In the given scenario the consumption will not raise even if there is an increase in national income and taxes are kept fixed at previous level. This is because marginal propensity to consume is same.
