Answer:
Inflation in 2012:


= 10%
Inflation in 2013:


= 9.09%
Inflation in 2014:


= 5%
Real rate of interest = Nominal - inflation
Given that,
Nominal rate = 8%
Therefore,
Real interest rate is as follows:
2012:
= 8% - 10%
= -2%
2013:
= 8% - 9.09%
= -1.09%
2014:
= 8% - 5%
= 3%
$6000 at 8% grows to:
= 1000 × 1.08
= $6,480 in one year
which is invested again to grow to $6,998.4 in two years
which is invested again to grow to $7,558.272 in three years
so,
Total gain:

= 25.9712%
The price level increases in three years by:


= 26%
So,
Total real rate of return:
= Total gain - Percentage increase in prices
= 25.9712 - 26
= -0.0288%
If at a given time of the day, the state road 408 is higly congested, then it could be considered to possess the properties of a COMMON PROPERTY GOOD.
There are four types of economic goods, these are: public goods, private goods, common property goods and club good.
Common properties goods are those goods which are characterised by rival consumption and non exclusion of non payers. Rival consumption implies that consumption by a user imposes limitations on what others can consume, but a user can not stop another user from enjoying the good. Common property goods are equally owned by everyone and are not controlled by anyone in particular, thus these goods usually need government intervention.
Answer:
correct option is d. two-thirds
Explanation:
given data
accumulated = $12.5 trillion
net worth = 14 percent
solution
here as per statistical data of 4th quarter in year 2015,
that required holding is two third of having home.
and Accumulated equity indicate the demand for housing in the country
so here 1 -
=
rd left out
it is assumed that they should get home at the beginning of 2015 (in the 1st quarter)
so correct option is d. two-thirds
Answer:
At 1.783 or more, the conversion yield better gain than sales the corn
Explanation:
The ethanol conversion become attractive if the cost for doing the conversion are lower than the sale revenue for the product.
<u>total cost: raw materials + conversion cost</u>
corn price: $ 3.75
conversion cost: $ 1.60
Total cost: $ 5.35
<u>output: gallon of ethanol per bushel</u>
3 gallons of ethanol per bushel
total cost / output = 5.35/3 = 1.783 cost per gallon
Answer:
B) diminishing marginal utility
Explanation:
The law of Diminishing marginal utility states that utility falls as consumption increases.
The law of demand states that the higher the price, the lower the quantity demanded and the lower the price, the higher the quantity demanded.
Because of diminishing marginal utility, consumption can be encouraged by reducing price.
As utility falls, consumers would be unwilling to buy more goods at the same price, therefore it would be reasonable to reduce price to encourage consumption.
