What is the name of the Department that controls the Finances for the United States.

What disadvantage a They would be ineligible to receive b. They would receive only a partal benefit for as long as they collect

ArbitrLikvidat [17]

The correct answer is B:They would receive only a partial benefit for as long as they collect Social Security. The age at which Americans are eligible to receive full Social Security benefits is 65. The earliest age, assuming one is not disabled, one can apply for Social Security is 62. However, if an individual claims Social Security early between the ages of 62-64, it will be at a reduced rate.

You are asked to make comparisons of two pairs of countries. The first pair are the Latin American countries of Chile and Argent

aleksklad [387]

Answer:

Part a: According to Solow model higher per capita real GDP will be in Chile because of its highest saving rate.

Part b: The per capita capital stock or the labour ratio is the primary factor for these differences in the simple Solow model.

Explanation:

Part a:

According to Solow model higher per capita real GDP will be in Chile because of its highest saving rate.

In Solow model the GDP per capita is defined as

$y=k^{\alpha}=f(k)$

Also the steady state path is given as

$sf(k)=(s+n)k\\\frac{s}{s+n}=\frac{k^*}{f(k^*)}\\\frac{s}{s+n}=\frac{k^*^{\alpha-1}}{k^*}\\\frac{s}{s+n}={k^*^{\alpha-2}}$

As all other parameters are same thus the country with higher value of s will have a higher per capita GDP.

According to the Solow model, higher saving rate means larger capital stock and high level of output at the steady state.

Higher saving rate leads to faster growth in Solow model. So there is higher per capita real GDP for the country that has higher saving rate.

Part b:

In Simple Solow Model, the steady state per Capita GDP, $y^*$ is the function of the steady state per capita capital stock given as $k^*$

Now this indicates that

$y^*=f(k^*)$

where f is an increasing concave function i.e. f'>0 and f''<0

Thus the sole dependence of per capita GDP is on per capita capital stock.

Thus the per capita capital stock or the labour ratio is the primary factor for these differences in the simple Solow model.

A 10 year 7% municipal bond, quoted on a 5.00 basis, is priced at 104. A 10 year 6% municipal bond, quoted on a 5.00 basis, is p

goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer:

D. 102.2

Explanation:

Using a simultaneous equation

Since the year is constant

We will use the the basis and municipal bond as our variables

So equation 1 = 7x+5y=104

Eqn ii= 6x + 5y= 101

Using eliminating method

X=3

Substitute for x in equation 1 to get the value of y

7(3) + 5y=104

5y=104-21

Y=16.6

To get the price for the percent of 6.40 at 5% basis substitute for the value of X and Y respectively in the both equation

6.4x+5y=?

6.4(3) + 5(16.6)=

19.2+83=102.2

Colt1911 [192]

Answer: Developers can spend $55316.9

Explanation:

EAR = $[e^{Annual percentage rate} -1]\times 100$

Effective Annual Rate= $(e^{(9/100)} -1)\times 100$

Effective Annual Rate% = 9.42

$PV_{Ordinary Annuity} = C\times [\frac{(1-(1+\frac{i}{100} )^{-n} )}{(i/100)} ]$

where;

C = Cash flow per period

i = interest rate

n = number of payments

$PV = 3500\times [\frac{(1-(1+\frac{9.42}{400} )^{-5\times 4} )}{(9.42/400)} ]$

PV = $55316.9
