In Macroland, autonomous consumption equals 100, the marginal propensity to consume equals 0.75, net taxes are fixed at 40, plan
alina1380 [7]

Answer:

B) 1,160.

Explanation:

First we must calculate planned aggregate expenditures (PAE) and then determine where Y = PAE:

PAE = consumption + planned investment + government spending + net exports = 100  + 0.75(Y - 40) + 50 + 150 +20 = 100 + 0.75Y - 30 + 50 + 150 + 20 = 290 + 0.75Y

Now we must determine where Y and PAE intercept:

Y = 290 + 0.75Y

Y - 0.75Y = 290

0.25Y = 290

Y = 290 / 0.25 = 1,160

*Planned aggregate expenditure = total planned spending, it differs from GDP because GDP includes unplanned investment.

PAE = C + Ip + G + NX   while  GDP = C + I + G + NX

Dear Mr. Sanchez: Your efforts to promote ethical business practices in our city have drawn national recognition. You are an exc
Xelga [282]

Answer:

1) - a - Last year, after learning about the importance of ethical leadership, students who attended our conference returned to their home schools and implemented a total of nine ethics and leadership initiatives. One of these initiatives included a project in which students researched ethical leaders in the local community. Naturally, the students encountered much of your work and have humbly requested your presence at the Ethics and Leadership for Youth conference this year. As a speaker at the ELY conference, you would have the opportunity to significantly impact our next generation of leaders.

2). b - It does not state the reasons before the main idea, and it has no reader benefits.

3). - c - Make a reasonable request.

Explanation:

1). The first option most adequately rephrases the third paragraph by reconsidering the main ideas effectively and clarifies the author's purpose effeciently. It presents the main idea of the 'significance of ethical leadership and its success' more clearly through appropriate evidence('nine ethics and leadership initiatives taken by students). It presents the given idea more impactfully by strengthening the language of the paragraph.

2). The key problem that the given message contains is that 'it fails to provide adequate reasons before presenting the main idea to the readers and this is why readers do not gain any message or specific idea.' The lack of logical explanation of the main idea does not allow the readers to understand the purpose for which the given content is produced and just become a passive information they are receiving as they aren't able to relate to it.

3). The main characteristics of a constructive claim or complaint messages include 'offering a reasonable request.' Reason is something that not only justifies the validity of the argument but also positions the author's stand on the topic. An effective claim or complaint displays appropriate reason or logic behind it and establishes its credibility and convinces the reader with sufficient evidence that it is worthy and fair. Thus, <u>option C</u> is the correct answer.

scoray [572]

Answer:

$2,014

Explanation:

Alain's net investment income tax is the lesser of 1) his net investment income ($53,000) or 2) his modified adjusted gross income less the threshold of $200,000 .

Therefore

$304,000 - $200,000 = $104,000

3.8%×$104,000= $3,952

($53,000 × 3.8% )= $2,014

The additional tax that alain will pay on his net investment income for the year is $2,014

What would most likely happen to the price of cable TV in Sydney, NE, when the single cable TV firm now has a new competitor com
Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

If the the single cable TV firm from Sydney now has a new competitor coming into town, what will most likely happen with the price of the service is that it will go down and become more accessible to consumers, as a direct consequence of the generation of competition from market between the companies involved.

The concept of competition plays a central role in economic theory. it is a situation by which different actors (companies or consumers) compete for a share in the same activity, typically the sale or purchase of a product or service. For economic operators, it is often an advantage to have limited competition on their own side of the market and a lot of competition on the opposite side, as it allows for high profits. From the point of view of society, as high a competition as possible is usually an advantage, as it ensures the best possible utilization of society's resources.
