Answer:

B) the additional positive value that a person receives from consuming one more unit of a good or service

Explanation:

A benefit is an advantage or gains to someone. In economics, the term marginal refers to an extra unit or one more unit.

Marginal benefit is the additional gain associated with consuming one more unit of a product or service. In this context, the term marginal benefit is used interchangeably with marginal utility. In practice consuming the first unit provides the highest benefit. Continuous consumption result in reduced benefits. In other words, marginal benefits decline with additional consumption.

A firm has a profit margin of 12 percent; total asset turnover of 0.55 and an equity multiplier of 2.2. What is the firm's ROA a

lutik1710 [3]

Answer:

ROA = 6.6%

ROE 14.52%

Explanation:

profit margin = net income / sale = 12%

assets turn over = sales / assets = 0.55

equity mutiplier = assets / equity = 2.2

ROE = return on equity = net income / equity

ROA = return on equity = net income / assets

we use the fraction properties to get ROE and ROA

$\frac{income}{sales} \times \frac{sales}{Assets} =\frac{income}{Assets} \\ 0.12 \times 0.55 = 0.066\\$

ROA = 6.6%

We apply the same property to get ROE

$\frac{income}{assets} \times \frac{assets}{equity} =\frac{income}{equity} \\ 0.066 \times 2.2 = 0.14252\\$

ROE = 14.52%

According to the Mundell–Fleming model, in an economy with flexible exchange rates, expansionary fiscal policy causes net export

maxonik [38]

Answer: Decrease and Increase

Explanation:

According to the Mundell–Fleming model, in an economy with flexible exchange rates, expansionary fiscal policy will cause the net exports to decrease. Expansionary fiscal policy shifts the IS curve rightwards, as a result BOP surplus created in the economy. So, exchange rate decreases to shift the BOP back to its initial position. As a result of lower exchange rate, exports falls. Hence, net exports decreases.

Expansionary Monetary policy will cause the net exports to increases. Expansionary Monetary policy shifts the LM curve rightwards, as a result BOP deficit created in the economy. So, exchange rate increases to shift the BOP back to its initial position. As a result of higher exchange rate, exports increases. Hence, net exports increases.

Consider an economy with a corn producer, some consumers, and a government. In a given year, the corn producer grows 30 million

lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

a. GDP using product approach

There are no intermediate goods inputs. Corn producer grows 30 million bushels of corn and each bushel of corn worth is $5.

GDP = 30 million * $5

GDP = $150 million

GDP using expenditure approach

i) Consumers buy 20 million bushels of corn

Consumption = 20 million * 5

Consumption (C) = $100 million

ii) Corn producer adds 5 million bushels to inventory

Investment = 5 million * $5

Investment (I) = $25 million

iii) Government buys 5 million bushels of corn

Government spending = 5 million * $5

Government spending (G) = $25 million

GDP = C + I + G

GDP = $100 + $25 + $25

GDP = $150 million

GDP using income approach

Profit income = $150 million - $60 million - $20 million

Profit income = $70 million

Government income = Taxes paid by the corn producer = $20 million

GDP = $60 million + $70 million + $20 million

GDP = $150 million

b. Private disposable income = GDP + Net factor payments + Government transfers + Interest on the government debt - Total taxes

Private disposable income = $150 million + 0 + $5 million + $10 million - $30 million

Private disposable income = $135 million

Private savings = Private disposable income - Consumption

Private savings = $135 million - $100 million

Private savings = $35 million

Government savings = Government tax income - Transfer payments - Interest on the government debt - Government spending

Government savings = $30 million - $5 million - $10 million - $5 million

Government savings = $10 million

National savings = Private savings + Government savings

National savings = $35 million + $10 million

National savings = $45 million

Government budget surplus = Government savings = $10 million

Government deficit = (-) $10 million
