Answer: See explanation

Explanation:

With the information given in the question, the firm should change its spending on labor and capital by increasing its labor and at thesame time, also reducing capital.

This is because since the marginal product of labor is 40 truffles and the price of labor is $10 per unit, it means that 4 truffles/dollar is being spent on labor, while for capital, 3 truffles/dollar is being spent.

shusha [124]

Answer:

x1.044 - x

Explanation:

The formula for calculating compound interest is as below

FV = PV × (1+r)^n

where FV = Future Value

PV = Present Value

r = annual interest rate

n = number of periods

How much would x dollars earn in 1 year at a rate of 4.4% compounded annually?

In this case, PV =X, r =4.4% and n=1

FV = x  x ( 1+4.4/100)^1

Fv = x  x( 1.044)^1

Fv = x1.044

x dollars will earn x1.044 - x

Number of years to double = 70 ÷ Interest rate per year .................... (1)

We can now calculate as follows:

a. A savings account earning 1% interest per year.

Number of years to double = 70 ÷ 1% = 7,000 years

b. A U.S. Treasury bond mutual fund earning 3% interest per year.

Number of years to double = 70 ÷ 3% = 2,333 years

c. A stock market mutual fund earning 8% interest per year.

Number of years to double = 70 ÷ 8% = 875 years

Note:

It can be observed that the higher the interest rate, the lower the number of years it will take the investment to double.
