AlekseyPX

The question is incomplete. The complete question is stated below.

If the marginal propensity to consume is equal to 0.85, then a $500 increase in disposable income leads to a:

a. $400 increase in consumption spending

b. $75 increase in consumption spending

c. $425 increase in personal saving

d. $75 increase in personal saving

Answer:

If a $500 increase causes an increase of $425 in consumer spending, the rest of $75 is the increase in personal saving. Thus, option D is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The marginal propensity to consume or MPC is the percentage of the additional income that will be used for consumption spending. It is a concept that is used to calculate how much of an increase in income will be used in consumption and saving. The formula to calculate MPC is,

MPC = Change in consumer spending / Change in income

0.85 = Change in consumer spending / 500

500 * 0.85 = Change in consumer spending

Change in consumer spending = $425

If a $500 increase causes an increase of $425 in consumer spending, the rest of $75 is the increase in personal saving.

LRQ Inc. issued bonds on April 18, 2006. The bonds had a coupon rate of 5.5%, with interest paid semiannually. The face value of

ankoles [38]

Answer:

$857

Explanation:

Price of the bond is the present value of all cash flows of the bond. These cash flows include the coupon payment and the maturity payment of the bond. Both of these cash flows discounted and added to calculate the value of the bond.

According to given data

Face value of the bond is $1,000

Coupon payment = C = $1,000 x 5.5% = $55 annually = $27.5 semiannually

Number of periods = n = (April 18, 2036 - April 18, 2020) years x 2 = 16 x 2 period = 32 periods

Market Rate = 7% annually = 3.5% semiannually

Price of the bond is calculated by following formula:

Price of the Bond = C x [ ( 1 - ( 1 + r )^-n ) / r ] + [ F / ( 1 + r )^n ]

Price of the Bond = 27.5 x [ ( 1 - ( 1 + 3.5% )^-32 ) / 3.5% ] + [ $1,000 / ( 1 + 3.5% )^32 ]

Price of the Bond = $524.29 + $332.59 = $856.98 = $857
