Answer:

C) 8.75%

Explanation:

Number of periods = 4 years

AAR = \frac{20-10+ 20+ 5}{4} \\AAR=8.75\%

Over four years, the S&P 500 index delivered an arithmetic average annual return of 8.75%.

grandymaker [24]
<span>A monopolist sells 6 units of a product per day at a unit price of $15. if it lowers price to $14, its total revenue increases by $22. this implies that its sales quantity increases by: 8 units. 

To solve for the original sales amount: (6 units)($15) = $90
Next find the new unit amount: (8 units)($14) = $112

The difference between these two is a $22 sales increase which means to have the difference in sales be $22 there were 8 units sold instead of 6 units.

Consider the following data for a closed economy:
notsponge [240]

Answer: The answer is given below

Explanation:

a. . Private saving

Private saving=Y+TR-C-T

= $11t + $1t - $8t - $3t

= $12 trillion - $11 trillion

= $1 trillion

b. Public saving

Public Saving= T-G-TR

Since G is not given, we can use:

I = public saving + private saving

$2t = public savings + $1t

Public saving= $2 trillion - $1 trillion

Public savings = $1 trillion

c. Goverment purchases

Since public savings = T - G - TR

$1t = $3t - G - $1t

G = $3t - $1t - $1t

G = $3 trillion - $2 trillion

G = $1 trillion

d. The goverment budget deficit or budget surplus.

There is a budget surplus of $1 trillion which has been calculated in the public savings.
