Answer:

a. The GDP gap is: 6%

b. The forgone output is: $30 billion

Explanation:

GDP (gross domestic product) is the output produced within a country in a given time period. Okun's law establishes an inverse empirical relationship between unemployment and losses in productivity of a country. In terms of output, Okun's law states that for every percentage increase in cyclical unemployment, a country's potential output is lowered by 2%. Cyclical unemployment is the difference between the natural unemployment rate and the actual unemployment rate.

In this scenario, the natural rate of unemployment is 4% and the actual rate is 7%. Therefore, unemployment due to business cycle fluctuations is: 3% . Since the output gap is double the percentage increase in unemployment, the output or GDP gap is 6%. The dollar amount of the GDP gap given the $500 billion potential GDP is (0.06 * 500) = $30 billion

zavuch27 [327]

Answer:

After tax cost of debt is 6.82%

Explanation:

Currently the yield to maturity is the  pre-tax cost of debt for Hype company, however the after tax cost of debt considers that the bonds are tax deductible , its actual is less than the pre-tax cost of debt , hence the after-tax cost of debt is shown below

After tax cost of debt=yield to maturity *(1-tax)

after tax cost of debt=11%*(1-0.38)

after tax cost of debt=11%*0.62

after tax cost of debt =6.82%

This confirms that cost of debt is usually lower than cost of equity , where shareholders would want an extra premium to compensate them for the increased risk taken by investing in the business.

Pie

Answer: $12

Explanation:

From the question, we are informed that Art purchased 2,500 shares of Delta stock and his purchase represents 10 percent ownership in the firm. We are further told that his shares have increased in value from the $12 a share he originally paid to today's market value of $13 a share.

Assume Delta goes bankrupt and owes $450,000 more in debts than the firm can pay after liquidating all of its assets, the maximum loss per share Art will incur on this investment will be the purchase price per share which was given in the question as $12.

This is because when a firm guess bankrupt, the maximum loss which will be incurred by Art will be the value of his investment which is $12.
