Answer:
The correct answer is: the additional product generated by additional units of an input will eventually diminish.
Explanation:
The law of diminishing marginal returns states that with each additional unit of input employed the marginal product of each additional input will go on declining.
This is why the total product will increase at first but after reaching a certain point it will start declining. The total product will be maximum at the point where the marginal product is zero. When marginal product becomes negative the total product will decline.
Answer:
In real dollars, Babe Ruth's salary = $80,000 / 0.0645 (CPI 1930) = $1,240,000
Since Babe Ruth was the highest paid baseball player back then, if we compare his updated salary to Kershaw's salary, it represents only = $1,240,000 / $33,000,000 = 3.76%.
That means that most of the players' salary raise was due to other factors, not just inflation.
Answer:
3.05%
Explanation:
According to Pure Expectation Theory, the future short term interest rates are actually the forward rates.
Mathematically,
(1 + r2,0)^2 = (1 + r1,0)^1 * (1 + r1,1)^1
Here,
r2,0 is the rate of interest for 2 year treasury security from today
r1,0 is the rate of the interest for 1 year treasury security from today
r1,1 is the rate of the interest for 2 year treasury security from Year 1
By Putting Values, we have:
(1 + r2,0)^2 = (1 + 0.04)^1 * (1 + 0.021)^1
(1 + r2,0)^2 = 1.06184
By taking square-root on both sides, we have:
(1 + r2,0) = 1.0305
r2,0 = 3.05%
