Answer:

a. The GDP price index for 1994, using 2015 as the base year is 62.5.

b. Percentage rise the price level between 1994 and 2015 is 60.0%.

c. We have:

Real GDP in 1994 = $160,000

Real GDP in 2015 = $352,000

Explanation:

Note: The requirements of this question is not complete. The complete requirements of the question are presented before answering the question as follows:

a. What is the GDP price index for 1994, using 2015 as the base year

b. By what percentage did the price level, as measured by this index, rise between 1994 and 2015?

c. What were the amounts of real GDP in 1994 and 2015?

Explanation of the answers is now given as follows:

a. What is the GDP price index for 1994, using 2015 as the base year

GDP price index for 1994 = (Price of a bucket of chicken in 1994 / Price of a bucket of chicken in 2015) * 100 = ($10 / $16) * 100 = 62.5

b. By what percentage did the price level, as measured by this index, rise between 1994 and 2015?

Percentage rise the price level between 1994 and 2015 = ((100 - GDP price index for 1994, using 2015 as the base year) / GDP price index for 1994, using 2015 as the base year) * 100 = ((100 - 62.5) / 62.5) * 100 = 60.0%

c. What were the amounts of real GDP in 1994 and 2015?

Since 2015 is being used as the base year, we have:

Real GDP in 1994 = Number of buckets of chicken produced in 1984 * Price per bucket of chicken in 2015 = 10,000 * $16 = $160,000

Real GDP in 2015 = Number of buckets of chicken produced in 2015 * Price per bucket of chicken in 2015 = 22,000 * $16 = $352,000

What amount needs to be invested today at 6% simple interest in order to have $4000 in 2 years?
garri49 [273]
Data:
A (amount) = ?
P (Principal) = $ 4000
r (rate) = 6% → 0.06
t (time) = 2 years

Formula:
A = P(1+r*t)

Solving:
A = P(1+r*t)
A = 4000(1+0.06*2)
A = 4000(1+0.12)
A = 4000*1.12
\boxed{\boxed{A = \$\:4480}}\end{array}}\qquad\quad\checkmark

Baker Corp. is required by a debt agreement to maintain a current ratio of at least​ 2.5, and​ Baker's current ratio now is 3. B
Orlov [11]

Answer:

$1.67 Million

Explanation:

Current asset = 15 Million    

Current liabiltiy = 15 Million/3

                          = 5 Million    

Let the inventory X can be purchased with short term debt without violation

per current ratio requirement    

(15 + x)/5+x = 2.5    

       15 + x  = 12.5 + 2.5x    

            2.5 = 1.5x    

               x = $1.67 Million

Therefore, $1.67 Million inventory can Baker purchase without violating its debt agreement if their total current assets equal​ $15 million

Identify whether each statement in the following table best illustrates the concept of consumers’ surplus, producers’ surplus, o
Blizzard [7]

Answer:

1. Neither ; 2. Consumer Surplus ; 3. Producer Surplus

Explanation:

Consumer Surplus is the difference between a good's price paid by consumer, & maximum price the consumer is willing to pay for the good.

Producer Surplus is the difference between a good's price received by a seller, & minimum price at which the seller is willing to sell the good.

1. Willing to pay $209 for watch, buyer willing to sell at $196, no trade as price ceiling at $190 : It illustrates neither concept as transaction has not actually occurred, so no price established.

2. Willing to pay $39 for sweater, purchased it for $32 : It illustrates 'Consumer Surplus' case = $7 , as it shows difference between maximum willingness to pay by buyer ($39) & the actual buy price ($32)

3. Willing to sell laptop at $190, sold it at $199 : It illustrates 'Producer Surplus' case = $9 , as it shows difference between minimum willingness to sell price ($190) &  actual sale price ($199)
