Answer:

The answer is: D) Maintain a balanced budget for political and moral reasons.

Explanation:

First of all, the Ricardian Equivalence Theorem is only hypothetically true with a lot of controversial assumptions and it has never been proven to work for extended periods of time. The notion that a government´s spending doesn´t affect people´s consumer and savings habits is not true.

Empirically whenever the government overspends and increases its deficit (usually by issuing bonds), savings from private citizens and companies tend to decrease.

The idea of sound finance tends to balance the government´s budget, not increase its deficit.

The number of years for the firm to reach the desired value of $1.2 million can determined using the nper formula in excel as below:

=nper(rate,pmt,pv,-fv)

rate is the interest rate earns by the fund at 10% per year

pmt is the addition to the fund in each year which is $50,000

pv is the current amount in the fund which is $400,000

fv is the desired value of $1.2 million

=nper(10%,50000,400000,-1200000)= 6.67 years

It would take 6.67 years for the sinking fund to reach the desired value of $1,200,000

Income rises from $3,500 to $4,000 a month and the quantity demanded of good X falls from 7 to 5 units a month. Income elasticit

finlep [7]

Answer:

E) -2.50 ; inferior

Explanation:

Before you earned $3,500 per month, you consumed 7 units per month. That means that you consumed 1 unit every $500 earned.

When your income increased to $4,000, you only consumed 5 units per month. That means that your consumption decreased to 1 unit for every $800.

The income elasticity of demand using the midpoint method is calculated by using the following formula:

income elasticity = {change in quantity demanded / [(old quantity + new quantity) / 2]} / {change in income / [(old income + new income) / 2]}

= {-2 / [(7 + 5) / 2]} / {500 / [(3,500 + 4,000) / 2]} = (-2 / 6) / (500 / 3,750) = -0.333 / 0.133 = -2.5

Since the income elasticity of demand is negative, the good X is an inferior good.
