Answer:

France and Russia

Purchasing Power Parity (PPP):

a) Ratio of the dollar-price of vodka in France relative to the dollar-price of vodka in Russia = 2:1

b) For relative PPP to hold, the expected inflation rate in South Africa must be 0.06

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Wine in France = Vodka in Russia

Dollar price of wine in France = 1

Dollar price of wine in Russia = 2

Ratio of the dollar-price of vodka in France relative to the dollar-price of vodka in Russia = 2:1

b) This means that if the price of vodka in Russia is $1 per bottle, for instance, the price of vodka in France will be equal to $2 per bottle.

c) Data and Calculations:

Expected inflation rate in Australia = 0.02

Expected currency appreciation of Australian dollar against that of South Africa = 0.04

For relative PPP to hold, the expected inflation rate in South Africa must be 0.06 (0.02 + 0.04).

d) France and Russia's absolute purchasing power parity will hold when the purchasing power of Francs is exactly equal in France's domestic economy and in the Russian economy, once it is converted into the Russian ruble at the market exchange rate.  For our example, the relative purchasing power parity (RPPP) states that exchange rates and inflation rates (price levels) in Australia and South Africa should equal out over time.

kirill [66]

Answer:

equilibrium GDP increase by 1 as well.

Explanation:

As government spending multiplier is:

1/(1 - marginal propensity to consume)

while taxes is:

marginal propensity to consume / ( 1 - marginal propensity to consume)

the multiplier when considering an increase in government spending financed with taxes will be:

government multiplier - tax multiplier

( 1 - marginal propensity to consume)/ ( 1 - marginal propensity to consume) = 1

as the multiplier is 1 and increase of 1 will mean an increase of 1 unit in the equilibrium GDP as weill

Your goal is to withdraw $25,000 in 10 years. To get the money for this withdrawal, you will make the aforementioned five equal
NikAS [45]

Answer:

the interest rate is missing, so I looked for similar questions and found that the semiannual interest rate is 3%.

first of all, we must determine the amount of money that we need to have in our account in order to be able to withdraw $25,000 in 10 years.

You will start making your semiannual deposits today and they will end in exactly 2 years, so we need to find out the present value of the $25,000 in two years:

PV = $25,000 / (1 + 3%)¹⁶ = $15,579.17

that is now the future value of our annuity due:

FV = semiannual deposit x FV annuity due factor (3%, 5 periods)

$15,579.17 = semiannual deposit x 5.46841

semiannual deposit = $15,579.17 / 5.46841 = $2,848.94
