Answer:

Sunk cost. The individual is still considering sunk cost in making future decisions

Explanation:

Sunk cost is cost that has already been incurred and cannot be recovered. It should not be considered in making future decisions.

In this question, the money paid for the meal is the sunk cost and it shouldn't be considered in making the decision of whether to continue the meal or not to.

At a growth (interest) rate of 13 percent annually, how long will it take for a sum to double? To triple?
Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

5.67  years

8.99    years

Explanation:

The relationship between future value, present value, interest rate as well as the duration of an investment(n) are depicted below with future value formula:

FV=PV*(1+r)^n

FV=future value( let us assume it is $10,000)

PV=$5,000( half of the present value)

r=13% interest rate

n=duration of the investment=the unknown

10,000=5000*(1+13%)^n

10,000/5000=1.13^n

2=1.13^n

take log of both sides

ln(2)=n ln(1.13)

n= ln(2)/ln (1.13) = 5.67  years

Triple of original investment:

FV=PV*(1+r)^n

FV=future value( let us assume it is $15,000)

PV=$5,000(one-third of the present value)

r=13% interest rate

n=duration of the investment=the unknown

15,000=5000*(1+13%)^n

15,000/5000=1.13^n

3=1.13^n

take log of both sides

ln(3)=n ln(1.13)

n= ln(3)/ln (1.13) = 8.99    years

A country finds itself in the following situation: the government budget surplus is 2% of its GDP; private savings is 30% of GDP
DaniilM [7]

Answer:

The current account deficit will increase from 1% to 31% of GDP.

Explanation:

National saving and investment identity helps in understanding the determinants of trade and current account balance. The current account is in balance when the quantity demanded of financial capital is equal to the quantity supplied of financial capital.  

Here, the government saving or surplus and private savings are the supply of financial capital and investment indicates demand for financial capital.

The current account balance is

= Supply of capital - Demand for capital

= (30 + 2)% - 33%

= 32% - 33%

= -1%

So the current account is in deficit by 1% of GDP.  

If the private savings becomes zero, the current account balance will be

= Supply of capital - Demand for capital

= 2% - 33%

= -31%

The current account will be in deficit by 31%.
