Answer:

The growth rate in nominal GDP is 19.72%

Explanation:

Nominal GDP is the value of goods and services produced in an economy in a particular year and it is not adjusted for inflation.

Nominal GDP Year 1 = 100 * 3 + 75 * 8 = $900

Nominal GDP Year 2 = 110 * 3.25 + 80 * 9 = $1077.5

The growth rate in nominal GDP can be calculated by using the following formula,

Growth rate = (Nominal GDP Year 2 - Nominal GDP Year 1) / Nominal GDP Year 1

Growth rate in GDP = (1077.5 - 900) / 900  =  0.1972 or 19.72%

Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

6.37%

Explanation:

Rate of return

= (Aggregate investment value after one year - Investment value) / investment value   ----- equation 1

Cost of shares =number of shares* price per share

             = 1000* $20 =$20,000

Total amount invested = Purchasing cost /(1- front-end load)

               = $20,000 / (1-0.04)

                =$20,000 / 0.96 = $20,833.333

Investment value after one year

           = Total Investment*( 1+ price increase-expense ratio)

         = $20,000( 1 +0.12 -0.012)

          = $20,000(1.12-0.012) = $20,000 * 1.108 = $22,160

From equation 1 above

Rate of return = ($22,160 - $ 20,833.333) / $20,833.333

        $ 1,326.667 / $ 20,833.333

= 0.06368001701

  = 0.0637

Since rates of return are expressed as %, we multiply the result by 100 to get

  0.0637*100 =6.37%

My rate of return on the fund will be 6.37% if I sell the shares at the end of the year.

Rex's doughnuts can produce only 100 doughnuts a day. the variable cost incurred per unit is $2 and fixed costs incurred per day
vladimir1956 [14]
The total cost that is incurred by producing 100 doughnuts is equal to the sum of the variable cost and the fixed cost. The total variable cost is,
    total variable cost = ($2/doughnut)(100 doughnuts) = $200

The total cost is,
   Total cost = total variable cost + total fixed cost
     TC = $200 + $500 = $700

Equating the cost and the revenue,
     TC = TR
     $700 = (100)(x)

The value of x from the equation is $7.
