The following table reports real income per person for several different economies in the years 1960 and 2010. It also gives eac

h economy's average annual growth rate during this period. For example, real income per person in Zambia was $1,412 in 1960, and it actually declined to $1,309 by 2010. Zambia's average annual growth rate during this period was -0.15%, and it was the poorest economy in the table in the year 2010. The real income-per-person figures are denominated in U.S. dollars with a base year of 2005. The following exercises will help you to understand the different growth experiences of these economies.
Economy Real Income per Person in 1960 (Dollars) Real Income per Person in 2010 (Dollars) Annual Growth Rate (Percent)
Austria 9,773 35,031 2.59
Venezuela 7,307 9,762 0.58
Botswana 468 9,515 6.21
Malaysia 4,624 11,863 4.06
Honduras 1,932 3,146 0.98
Zambia 1,412 1,309 -0.15

Indicate which economy satisfies each of the following statements.

a. This economy experiences the fastest rate of growth in real income per person from 1960 to 2010.
b. This economy had the highest level of real income per person in the year 2010.

Answer:

  • a. Botswana
  • b. Austria

Explanation:

Botswana had the fastest growth in real income per person from 1960 to 2010 with an annual growth rate of 6.21%. This is most likely down to the discovery of diamonds in the country towards the end of the 20th century.

In 2010, Austria had the highest real income per person with an income of $35,031. This is most likely due to the fact that Austria has a heavy presence in the service industry and a low population of less than 10 million people.

ch4aika [34]
To solve for the cost of goods sold (COGS):
COGS = Net sales - gross profit
COGS = $812,000 - $355,000
COGS = $457,000

The cost of doors sold is the costs that are used for production of the goods the company sells. It includes materials used for creating the product and labor.

"Parker Company stock is currently selling for $130.00 per share and the firm's dividends are expected to grow at 6 percent inde
8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

Cost of equity = 10.7%

Explanation:

<em>We will work out the required rate of return using the the dividend valuation model. The model states that the value of a stock is the present value of the future divided discounted at the cost of equity. </em>

The model is given below:

P = D× (1+g)/(r-g)

P- price of stock, D- dividend payable now, g- growth rate in dividend, r- cost of equity

So we substitute  

130 = 5.50× (1+r)/(r-0.06)

cross multiplying

(r-0.06)× 130 = 5.50 × (1+r)

130 r- 7.8  = 5.50 + 5.50r

collecting like terms

130 r - 5.50r=5.50 + 7.8

124.5  r= 13.3

Divide both sides by 124.5

r =13.3 /124.5=  0.1068

r=0.1068 × 100=  10.7%

Cost of equity = 10.7%

Anika [276]

Answer: Economies of Scale

Explanation:

Economies of scale refers to the tendency of costs to reduce per unit as the number of units produced increases. This is because the producer is able to share the costs amongst all the units produced.

George was getting those ingredients to make a single burger so the produce he used were small in quantity and cost him more. The companies that make sandwiches in large numbers buy and produce the ingredients in bulk which reduces their prices.

For example, George went to Minneapolis to get salt for one burger, those companies would go and get salt for 10,000 burgers at the same time which would reduce the cost by dividing it across the 10,000 burgers.

This cost saving from economies of scale enables the local deli to sell products at a cheaper rate than if we had to make them ourselves.

Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

Price elasticity of demand for Adam=0

Price elasticity of demand for Barb=1

Explanation:

Price elasticity of demand = %age change in demanded QTY / %age change in demanded price

The price is not important for Adam, and he demands a fixed quantity, hence his demand curve is vertical. A perfectly vertical demand curve is can inelastic demand curve and has price elasticity =0

The quantity is not important for Barb, and he demands a fixed price, hence his demand curve is horizontal. A perfectly horizontal demand curve is has price elasticity =1
