Answer:
Yes.
Explanation:
Market rate of exchange of jello for pie:
= Price of a piece of apple pie ÷ Price of jello
= $3.75 ÷ $1.25
= 3.00
At his current consumption point, Nick's marginal rate of substitution (MRS) of jello for pie = 3
Since MRS = Px/Py, hence, at this point of consumption bundle he is having a maximum level of utility.
Therefore, there is no need to change his consumption bundle because he is already at his maximum level.
$3878.55
Explanation:
Step 1 :
It is given that Kristy has a biweekly gross earnings of $1950.
Since it is bi-weekly payments there are 26 payments in the year.
Gross earnings per year = 1950 * 26 = $50,700
Step 2 :
It is given that the social security tax is 6.2% up to $128,400. Kristy's earnings of 50,700$ does not exceed the threshold $128,400, hence 6.2% of her entire income is subject to social security withholding.
Social security withholding = 6.2% of 50,700 = 6.2*50700/100 = $3143.40
Step 3 :
It is given that Medicare tax is 1.45% with no wage limit
Medicare withholding = 1.45% of 50,700 = 1.45*50700/100 = $735.15
Total withholding = Social Security withholding + Medicare withholding 3143.40 + 735.15 = $3878.55
This is true Parole violators account for more than half of prison admissions in many states Parole is a popular sentencing option.
The government would set its targeted interest at 6.5%
Based on the Taylor's rule
R = π + A + 0.5(A-A*) + 0.5
This is the formula that helps to get the output gap
<u>Definition of terms</u>
R is the nominal federal funds rate
π is the real rate of federal funds = 2%
A is the rate of inflation
A* is the target of of inflation = 2%
Rate of unemployment = 3%
The government has a target of full employment that is at 4 percent.
When we enter the values into the formula
R = 2% + 3% + 0.5(3%-2%) + 0.5%(2%)
= 5% + 0.5% + 1%
= 6.5%
Therefore the government would set its targeted interest at 6.5%
