Answer:
20 years (scenario A) and 16 years (scenario B)
Explanation:
The real GDP will double in "n" number of years, with "n" estimated by interpolation using the formula below.
In the solutions below, we assumed current GDP to be 1, and as a result, the GDP will double to 2.
Scenario A
When you substitute 20 for "n" in the left hand side (LHS) of the equation, you will arrive at 1.99 which is approximately equal to 2. Any number below 20 will result in a number less than 2.
Thus, with an average annual real GDP growth rate of 3.5%, real GDP will double in about 20 years.
Scenario B
When you substitute 16 for "n" in the left hand side (LHS) of the equation, you will arrive at 2.02 which is approximately equal to 2. Any number below 16 will result in a number less than 2.
Thus, with an average annual real GDP growth rate of 4.5%, real GDP will double in about 16 years.
Answer:
III) Increase its gross margin
Explanation:
If the company increases its gross margin, it will have a direct impact on the company's net profit. The higher a company's net profit, the higher its value = higher stock price.
The only option that increases the value of the company is to increase its net profit, since:
- an increase in inventory will result in a lower stock price
- a decrease in the asset turnover ratio will result in a lower stock price
- the issuing of stock dividends will only increase the price of stock in the short run, later the price will adjust down since the company's book value will lower

Price hikes tells us of scarcity of a resource. When the price of a resource or good gets increased or is continuously increasing the price of the resource may show that it is scarce.
Management have to allocate resources in such a way that they do not have to run out of the resources or or they may decide to use substitute resources.
