Answer:
The correct answer is option C.
Explanation:
A reduction in spending is going to reduce the income of the consumers in the economy. The consumers do not spend all their income but save it partially. The saving is used to create funds which are invested again and lead to increase in output. The rate of consumption depends on the marginal propensity to consume and marginal propensity to save. The marginal propensity to save is 1-MPC. Smaller MPS will cause saving to be less, consequently investment will also be lower.
So, a reduction in the government spending will be more effective in curbing demand-pull inflation if the marginal propensity to consume is higher and marginal propensity to save is smaller.
Answer:
affect nominal but not real variables. This view that money is ultimately neutral is consistent with classical theory.
Explanation:
This idea is held by classical economists (not by most economists) since they believe in the quantitative theory of money:
MV = PQ
- M = quantity of money
- V = velocity of money
- P = price level
- Q = quantity of goods
Classical theory was abandoned 90 years ago (according to classical theory, recessions were not possible and couldn't exist, but then the Great Depression came and the impossible became true). Neo-classical or monetarists appeared in the 1960s, and lately, neo-neo-classical appeared with George W. Bush. The problem with the quantitative theory is that it needs the following things to be true in order to hold, and empirical evidence over the last 90 years showed that none of them are true:
- the velocity of money has to be constant (AND IT IS NOT CONSTANT)
- real output is independent on money supply (NOT TRUE)
- causation goes from money to prices (MODERN ECONOMISTS BELIEVE IT IS THE OTHER WAY)
Answer:
the value of the MktRS (market rate of substitution) is 0
Explanation:
The computation of the market rate of substitution is shown below:
Since it is mentioned that
You like apples half as pears
So the equation would be
X = 1 ÷ 2 Y
X ÷ Y = 1 ÷ 2
Now the market rate of substitution of the price is
= $2 ÷ $4
= 1 ÷ 2
So,
= 1 ÷ 2 - 1 ÷ 2
= 0
Hence, the value of the MktRS (market rate of substitution) is 0
The same is to be considered
Answer:
The answer is 17.67 years.
Explanation:
Present value is $2,500
Future value of the money to be double of the present value. This means the future value will be $5,000($2,500 x 2)
Interest rate is 4%
Number of years or periods to reach this $5,000 is unknown. So we are looking for this.
To compute this number of periods, lets use Financial calculator.
I/Y = 4; PV= -2,500; FV= 5,000; CPT N= 17.67 years.
Therefore, the number of years to accumulate to $5,000 is 17.67 years
Answer:
5,409 books
Explanation:
to calculate break even point in units we can use the following formula:
break even point in units = total fixed costs / contribution margin per unit
- total fixed costs = $53,000
- contribution margin per unit = sales price - variable costs = $12 - $2.20 = $9.80
break even point in units = $53,000 / $9,80 = 5,408.16 ≈ 5,409 books
in $, that would equal = 5,409 books x $12 per book = $64,908
