Answer:
B. Less than 10%
Explanation:
An addition increase by 10 % in the physical capital stock (which is a factor of production consisting of man made goods like machineries and so on) will lead to a less than 10% increase in the Gross domestic product. This is due to the law of diminishing marginal utility which talks about the consumption increases marginal utility from each additional unit declines. Thus, the more the physical capital stock increases, the GDP will increase at a decreasing rate.
Answer:
After tax cost of debt is 4.16%
Explanation:
The yield on the debt which is pre-tax cost of debt can be computed using the rate formula in excel, which is given as follows:
=rate(nper,pmt,-pv,fv)
where nper is the number of coupon payments,this is calculated as 19*2 since it has a semi-annual coupon interest
pmt is the periodic coupon payment 6.1%/2*$2000=$61
pv is the current price of the bond which is $1933
fv is the face value repayable on redemption $2000
=rate(38,61,-1933,2000)
=3.20%
This is semi-annual yield , annual yield is 3.20%*2=6.40%
After tax cost of debt=6.40%*(1-t)
where t is the tax rate at 35%=0.35
after tax cost of debt=6.40%*(1-0.35)
=4.16%
