Answer:

The government should <u>LOWER</u> taxes by <u>$25</u> to bring the economy to potential output.

Explanation:

the tax multiplier = -MPC / (1 - MPC) = -0.8 / (1 - 0.8) = -0.8 / 0.2 = -4

if you want to increase GDP by $100 billion, you must cut taxes by $25 billion.

total effect = -$25 billion x -4 = $100 billion increase

that would increase the GDP from its current $300 billion level to $400 billion

Answer:

The simple rate of return is 37.5%

Explanation:

Simple rate of return is the percentage of return on investment that takes the net annual return cash flow of an investment and compare with initial capital of the investment. It is calculated with this formula:

<u>Total annual return - Depreciation expense</u>

                Initial capital outlay

For farmer Joe, the simple rate of return is:

<u>$20,000 + $25,000 + $30,0000 -$0</u>     x   100

                    $200,000

=   <u>$75,000</u>  x 100

   $200,000

= 37.5%

Depreciation expense is assumed to be zero.

lys-0071 [83]
First, calculate the discount.

15% of 1250 is 187.5

Then, subtract 187.5 from 1250.
You get 1062.5

Next, to calculate the sales tax. I'm not 100% sure if you're supposed to do this before the discount or after, I'm just assuming after.

Anyway, 

6.5% of 1062.5 is approxamately 69.06.

Add that to 1062.5 to get the final answer of $1131.56

The computation of the dollar return is shown below:

= (Stock price at the end of the year - Stock price at the beginning of the year + Dividend paid) × number of shares purchased

= ($113.65 - $104.32 +$2.34) × 250 shares

= $11.67 × 250 shares

= $2917.50

We simply added the stock price at the end of the year, dividend paid and deducted the stock price at the beginning of the year, then multiply it with the number of shares purchased so that the correct amount can come.
