navik [9.2K]

Answer:

(a) 0.7

(b) 3.33

(d) -$147

(e) -$1 trillion

Explanation:

(a) Marginal propensity to consume (MPC) = 0.7

(b) Multiplier of this economy:

$=\frac{1}{1-MPC}$

$=\frac{1}{1-0.7}$

= 3.33

Initial change in consumption = Change in government purchases × MPC

= $300 × 0.7

= -$210 billion

(d) This decreases income yet again, causing a second change in consumption equal to:

= Initial change in consumption × MPC

= -$210 × 0.7

= -$147 billion

(e) The total change in demand resulting from the initial change in government spending is:

= Change in government purchases × Multiplier

= $300 × 3.33

= -$1 trillion

Last year, a women's professional organization made two small-business loans totaling $23,000 to young women beginning their own

Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

a. Loan amount at 9%=5,000

b. Loan amount at 11%=$18,000

Explanation:

To determine the amount of each loan amount, first we need to derive the following equations;

<em>Step 1: Determine loan amount at 9%</em>

Total Interest=Interest from 9%+interest from 11%

where;

Total interest=$2,430

Interest from 9%=principal amount at 9%×interest rate×number of years

Interest from 11%=principal amount at 11%×interest rate×number of years

and;

Principal amount at 9%=x, interest rate=9/100=0.09, number of years=1

Principal amount at 11%=23,000-x, interest rate=11/100=0.11, number of years=1

replacing;

2,430=(x×0.09×1)+0.11(23,000-x)

2,430=0.09 x+2,530-0.11 x

(0.11 x-0.09 x)=2,530-2,430

0.02 x=100

x=100/0.02

x=5,000

Loan amount at 9%=5,000

<em>Step 2: Determine loan amount at 11%</em>

Use the expression below to determine the loan amount at 11%;

Loan amount at 11%=Total loan amount-loan amount at 9%

where;

Loan amount at 11%=unknown, to be determined

Total loan amount=$23,000

Loan amount at 9%=$5,000

replacing;

Loan amount at 11%=23,000-5,000=$18,000

Loan amount at 11%=$18,000
