Answer: The correct option is D. -4/5

Explanation:

From the question above, we have:

Cost on input = $500

Wage rate = $20 per hour

Cost of capital = $25 per hour

The formula for slope of isocost is given as:

Slope of isocost = -(w/r)

Where,

W = wage rate

r = rental cost of capital.

Therefore, we have:

Slope of isocost curve = -(20/25)

= -0.8 or -4/5

Answer:

D. -4/5

Explanation:

Given that

Wage rate = $20 per hour

Cost of capital = $25 per hour

Recall that,

Slope of isocost = -(w/r)

Where,

W = wage rate

r = rental cost of capital.

Thus,

Slope of isocost curve

= -(20/25)

= -0.8 or -4/5

Note that, the negative of the ratio is the price of the two inputs. Also isocost is a line showing the various combinations of inputs which cost the same amount.

A graphical analysis of tariffs reveals that Multiple Choice they benefit domestic consumers at the expense of domestic producer
BARSIC [14]

Tariffs increases the price of imported goods. This discourages importation of those goods. As a result, there is less competition between foreign produced goods and domestic production. This boosts domestic production.

Kay [80]

Answer:

-0.11% a year

Explanation:

Susan's real interest rate is the nominal rate of her investment subtracted by the percentage increase in CPI.

The percentage increase in CPI for 2005 was:

CPI = \frac{232-225}{225}*100 \% \\CPI= 3.11 \%

Therefore, Susan's real interest rate (i) was:

i = 3.00 - 3.11\\i = -0.11 \%

yuradex [85]

Answer:

183.00%

449.15%

Explanation:

The computation of annual percentage rate and the effective annual rate  shown below:

Annual percentage rate is

= Interest rate per month × Total Number of months  in a year

= 15.25% × 12  months

= 183.00%

The effective annual rate is

= (1 + nominal interest rate ÷ periods)^ number of period - 1

= (1 + 15.25% ÷ 12)^12 - 1

= 449.15%
