An economy initially has 200 units of physical capital per worker. Each year, it increases the amount of physical capital by 10%

. According to the aggregate production function for this economy, each 1% increase in physical capital per worker, holding human capital and technology constant, increases output per worker by 0.25%. If there is no inflation and output per worker is initially $1,000, what does the estimated output per worker equal after one year

Answer:

$1,025

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial physical capital per worker = 200 units

Percentage increase in physical capital per year = 10%

Initial output per worker = $1,000

Holding human capital and technology constant,

1% increase in physical capital per worker = 0.25% increase in the output per worker

Hence, if there is a 10% increase in physical capital each year then the increase in output per worker each year is calculated as follows:

= 10 × 0.25%

= 2.5%

Therefore, the estimated output per worker equal after one year:

= Initial output per worker + Increase in output per worker each year

= $1,000 + ($1,000 × 2.5%)

= $1,000 + $25

= $1,025

borishaifa [10]

Answer: B. Corporate Bonds and T-Bills

Explanation:

As you want to be 95% certain, this would require a 95% confidence interval.

With the given returns and standard deviations, the range of returns expected will be computed by;

Upper limit = Return + 2*SD

Lower limit  Return - 2*SD

Stocks

Upper Limit = 18.37% + 2 (38.79%)

= 96.0%

Lower Limit = 18.37% - 2 (38.79%)

= -59.2%

S&P 500

Upper Limit = 11.84% + 2(20.01%)

= 51.9%

Lower Limit =  11.84% - 2(20.01%)

= -28.2%

Corporate Bonds

Upper Limit = 6.47% + 2(6.98%)

= 20.4%

Lower Limit = 6.47% - 2(6.98%)

= -7.5%

T-Bills

Upper Limit = 3.46% + 2(3.14%)

= 9.7%

Lower Limit = 3.46% - 2(3.14%)

= -2.8%

The lower limit show the lowest return achievable given a 95% confidence level.

<em>Only </em><em>Corporate Bonds</em><em> and </em><em>T-Bills</em><em> will give a minimum that is above 8% so they should be chosen. </em>

Vesna [10]

Answer: Maturity stage

Explanation:

Maturity stage tends to occur after growth and introduction stages. Maturity stage is known as one of the longest stages of product life cycle. Under this stage, the sales growth tends to decline; the organization tends to reach the highest point under a demand cycle; and thus advertising strategies tend to have a minimal impact on their sales growth.

If ten years ago the price of a movie ticket was $5 and the average hourly wage was $10, and today the price of a movie ticket i
adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

It means movies are relatively cheaper than working hours

Explanation:

In order to estimate the relativity of the two activities, there is a need to compare the changes over ten years

1. 10 years ago, Movie ticket= $5, 10 Years later Movie ticket= $8, the 10 year difference is $3

2. 10 years ago, average hourly wage = $10, 10 years later, average hourly wage = $20, the 10 year difference is $10

First, it means for the $3 change in movie ticket cost, there was a $10 change in the average hourly wage.

Put differently, while movie ticket got a 60% increase in price 3/5 x 100=60%

Average hourly wage got 100% increase  10/10 x 100= 100%

It means that working hours got more expensive and movie tickets got cheaper

worty [1.4K]

Answer:

Locations Same Total Cost at output = 120

Location A superior (less TC) than Location B (more TC) at output = 100

Location B superior (less TC) than Location A (more TC) at output = 150

Explanation:

Total Fixed Cost = Total Fixed Cost + Total Variable Cost

Location A :

Total Cost A  = 800000 + 14000x

Location B :

Total Cost B = 920000 + 13000x

a. Two Locations have same Total Cost at output :

TC (A) = TC (B)

800000 + 14000x = 920000 + 13000x

920000 - 800000 = 14000x - 13000x

120000 = 1000x

x = 120000 / 1000 → = 120

b. Location A would be superior if : TC (A) < TC (B)

Hit & Trial method ; taking x = 100

[800000 + 14000 (100) = 220000] < [920000 + 13000 (100) = 2220000]

Location B would be superior if : TC (B) < TC (A)

Hit & Trial method ; taking x = 150

800000 + 14000 (150) = 2900000] > [920000 + 13000 (150) = 2870000]
