Explanation:
a. The computation is shown below:
As we know that
Multiplier = 1 ÷ 1 - MPC
1.5 = 1 ÷ 1 - MPC
So, MPC is 0.3333
Now the real GDP is
= Multiplier × Government spending
= 0.3333 × $70 billion
= $105 million
So the change in real GDP is
= $105 million - $70 million
= $35 million
b. The computation is shown below:
As we know that
Multiplier = 1 ÷ 1 - MPC
Multiplier = 1 ÷ 1 - 0.6
So, multiplier is 2.5
Now the real GDP is
= Multiplier × Government spending
= 2.5 × $16 billion
= -$40 million
c. As we know that
Real GDP = Multiplier × Government spending
$280 billion = Multiplier × $70 billion
So, the multiplier is 4
Now the MPC is
Multiplier = 1 ÷ 1 - MPC
4 = 1 ÷ 1 - MPC
So, the multiplier is 0.75
Answer: B. The firm would install the filter at a cost of $ 300,000.
Explanation:
If the community owns the property rights, they would be able to demand that the firm pay the external cost of $500,000 per year.
If on the other hand the company installed a filter, it would cost them $300,000 but then they would not have to pay the community the $500,000.
The lower cost option would be to install the filter for $300,000 which is what the firm would do.
Answer:
-$414,444.44
Explanation:
The computation of the net present value is shown below:
Net present value = Initial investment + net cash flows ÷ (required rate of return - projected growth rate)
= -$1,570,000 + $104,000 ÷ (12% - 3%)
= -$1,570,000 + $1,155,555.56
= -$414,444.44
Hence, the net present value is -$414,444.44
Since the net present value comes in negative so the project is rejected
Answer:
It is more profitable to continue processing.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
A company has inventory that cost $50,000. Its scrap value is $65,000. The inventory could be sold for $150,000 if manufactured further at an additional cost of $80,000.
Sell for scrap= 65,000 - 50,000= 15,000
Continue processing= 150,000 - 80,000 - 50,000= 20,000
Answer:
Common Resource
public good
private good
Explanation:
A club good is a type of public good. It is excludable but non-rivalrous. For example paid streaming services are an example of a club good. Those who do not subscribe are excluded from using the service. But all subscribers have equal assess to the service
A public good is a good that is non excludable and non rivalrous. Everyone has assess to the statue and because one person is enjoying the view of the clock does not means another person cannot enjoy the view of the clock
A private good is a good that is excludable and rivalrous. They are usually exchanged in the market by private sector businesses. It is only you who purchased the drum set and those you allow that can use the drum set.
A common resource is a good that is non excludable but rivalrous. The bike in the fitness room is an example. Because the gym is open to anyone, it is non excludable. Only one person can use it at a time, thus it is rivalrous
