<span>First and foremost, it should be understood that Okun's Law is an empirical observation. The law is founded in a perceived relationship between gdp and unemployment. In this sense, Okun's Law is an approximation and not rightly a Law derived from theory.
There is some debate as to how much of a decrease in gdp actually occurs from an increase in unemployment, but two leading figures have offered estimations. Martin Prachowny gives the ratio 3:1, such that for every 1% increase in unemployment, a country's gdp drops by 3%. Ben Bernake more recently has offered a revised estimation, placing it closer to 2:1.
Therefore, to find the inverse, a country's GDP would have to grow by 2-3% in order to reduce unemployment by 1%.</span>
Answer:
The correct answer is letter "C": Time preferences for consumption.
Explanation:
American economists Irving Fisher (1867-1947) proposed the Time Preferences for Consumption theory that contrasts saving money to spending it today. According to the theory, people will weight the return of spending or saving money based on their expectations. It means, how much the goods an individual can purchase today are worth versus the return of the savings in the future.
Thus, in the case, <em>there is an evaluation of investing in Treasury Bonds versus investing today in a friend's business. The time preferences for consumption is applied when the individual compares the expected return of the Treasury bonds with what investing today could provide.</em>
When a person or company owes money to creditors. It is the only way creditors feel they will collect what they are owed.
Answer:
Product B has a net income of $10,000 superior to Product A.
The correct answer is C.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Product A:
Unitary contribution margin= $16
Machine-hours required= 2
Product B:
Unitary contribution margin= $30
Machine-hours required= 3
First, we will calculate the total income of both products.
Product A= 16*(5,000/2)= $40,000
Product B= 30*(5,000/3)= $50,000
Product B has a net income of $10,000 superior to Product A.
Answer: -30%
Explanation:
The Nominal gain is:
= 100,000 - 20,000
= 80,000 foci
Tax on nominal gain:
= 20% * 80,000
= 16,000 foci
After tax nominal value of land:
= 100,000 - 16,000
= 84,000 foci
The real value given the price index is:
= 84,000 / 600 * 100
= 14,000 foci
After tax real rate of cap. gain:
= (14,000 - 20,000) / 20,000
= -30%
