The cob Douglas production function is given by Q(K,L)=AK^1.4*L^1.6

Alexeev081 [22]

Part a) The Cob Douglas production function is given as:

$Q(K,L)=AK^{1.4} L^ {1.6 } .$

To show that this function is homogeneous with degree 3, we introduce be a parameter, t.

$Q(tK,tL)=A(tK)^{1.4} (tL)^ {1.6 } .$

Using properties of exponents, we on tinder:

$Q(tK,tL)=At^{1.4}K^{1.4} t^ {1.6 }L^ {1.6 } .$

This implies that:

$Q(tK,tL)=t^{1.4} \times t^ {1.6 }(AK^{1.4} L^ {1.6 } )$

$Q(tK,tL)=t^{1.4 + 1.6}(AK^{1.4} L^ {1.6 } )$

Simplify the exponent of t to get;

$Q(tK,tL)=t^{3}(AK^{1.4} L^ {1.6 } )$

Hence the function is homogeneous with degree, 3

Part b) To verify Euler's Theorem, we must show that:

$K\frac{\partial Q}{\partial \: K}+L\frac{\partial Q}{\partial \: L}=3AK^{1.4}L^{1.6}$

Verifying from the left:

$K\frac{\partial Q}{\partial \: K}+L\frac{\partial Q}{\partial \: L} =K(1.4AK^{0.4} L^{1.6}) + L(1.6AK^{1.4} L^{0.6})$

$K\frac{\partial Q}{\partial \: K}+L\frac{\partial Q}{\partial \: L} =1.4(AK^{1.4} L^{1.6}) + 1.6(AK^{1.4} L^{1.6})$

$K\frac{\partial Q}{\partial \: K}+L\frac{\partial Q}{\partial \: L} =(1.4 + 1.6)(AK^{1.4} L^{1.6})$

$K\frac{\partial Q}{\partial \: K}+L\frac{\partial Q}{\partial \: L} =3(AK^{1.4} L^{1.6})$

Andrew Industries is contemplating issuing a -year bond with a coupon rate of (annual coupon payments) and a face value of .

zepelin [54]

Answer:

The numbers are missing, so I looked for a similar question to fill in the blanks:

<em>Andrew Industries is contemplating issuing a 30-year bond with a coupon rate of 7.13% (annual coupon payments) and a face value of $1,000. Andrew believes it can get a rating of A from Standard& Poor's. However, due to recent financial difficulties at the company, Standard & Poor's is warning that it may downgrade Andrew Industries' bonds to BBB. Yields on A-rated, long-term bonds are currently 6.43%, and yields on BBB-rated bonds are 6.84%. </em>

a. What is the price of the bond if Andrew Industries maintains the A rating for the bond issue?

if the YTM is 6.43%, then the market price will be:

0.0643 = {71.30 + [(1,000 - M)/30]}/ [(1,000 + M)/2]

0.0643 x [(1,000 + M)/2] = 71.30 + [(1,000 - M)/30]

0.0643 x (500 + 0.5M) = 71.30 + 33.33 - 0.03333M

32.15 + 0.03215M = 104.63 - 0.03333M

0.06548M = 72.48

M = 72.48 / 0.06548 = $1,106.90

b. What will be the price of the bond if it is downgraded?

if the YTM is 6.84%, then the market price will be:

0.0684 = {71.30 + [(1,000 - M)/30]}/ [(1,000 + M)/2]

0.0684 x [(1,000 + M)/2] = 71.30 + [(1,000 - M)/30]

0.0684 x (500 + 0.5M) = 71.30 + 33.33 - 0.03333M

34.20 + 0.0342M = 104.63 - 0.03333M

0.06753M = 70.43

M = 70.43 / 0.06753 = $1,042.94

Most of us have to work for a living, and a job is a central part of our lives. So why do managers have to worry so much about e

bekas [8.4K]

Explanation:

Employee motivation is not directly related to the conditions of their work and personal life. There are many studies and researches that seek to understand how the employee is motivated, one of the most accepted and used is the Maslow pyramid, which categorizes each human need in the form of a pyramid of needs, according to him, there are five needs that individuals need to fulfill to be motivated and satisfied in their personal and professional life, they are the physiological needs being the base of the pyramid and the most essential, followed by needs for security, affection, esteem and self-fulfillment.

Therefore, this theory of Maslow's needs is a parameter to understand how the human being remains motivated, and to help organizations to align their processes to fulfill each employee's need for fulfillment, seeking an organizational environment focused on safety, ethics, innovation, benefits monetary, etc.

adoni [48]

Answer:

double-blind experiment

Explanation:

A double-blind experiment is one in which both the experimenter and the subjects don't have knowledge of which treatment is given to which participant.

The aim of this method is to avoid bias especially from demand characteristics (experimenter expectation) and placebo effect (perception of benefit from an ineffective substance).

Double-blind experiment is used when CureAll develops a new drug to treat restless legs syndrome, and test the drug's efficacy is designed in such a way that neither the experimenter administering the drug or participants knows which drug is administered.
