Answer:

a 26%

Explanation:

The computation of the annual rate of return on this investment is as follows:

Let us assume n be no of years

Now

The Annual rate of return is

= (Ending value ÷  beginning value)^1 ÷ n - 1  

= ($8,000 ÷ $4000)^1 ÷ 3 - 1

= 0.2599

= 25.99 %

= 26%

hence, the annual rate of return is 26%

Therefore the correct option is a.

We simply applied the above formula so that the correct value could come

And, the same is to be considered

snow_tiger [21]

Answer: The recessionary gap will be equal to 1 trillion yen divided by 2.5 or 0.4 trillion yen

Explanation:

From the question, we are informed that GDP gap of 1 trillion yen and the marginal propensity to consume (MPC) is 0.60. Also, to close the GDP gap, the prime minister has decided to increase government spending. This means that there will be a recessionary gap because the actual GDP will be less than the potential GDP.

Fir the economy to be brought to its potential GDP, the spending of the government will give a stimulus to the economy. Since MPC is 0.6, the multiplier will be:

= 1/1-MPC

= 1/1 - 0.6

= 1/0.4

= 2.5

The government spending will then increase in order to close the recessionary gap as:

∆Y = ∆G × Multiplier

100 = ∆G × 2.5

∆G = 100/2.5

∆G = 40

Therefore, the recessionary gap will be equal to 1 trillion yen divided by 2.5 or 0.4 trillion yen.
