Answer:

Explanation:

1. Nominal spending is the total value of output produced or consumed each year.

Year 1 Abby buys 10 ×$1 = $10

Year 2 Abby buys 10 ×$1= $10

⇒ nominal spending= $10

2. Base year - year 1

Consumer price index is a measure of the average change over time in the prices paid by consumers for a market basket of consumer goods and services.

CPI= (prices of the most recent market basket in the particular year/ prices estimate of market basket in base year )x100

However, for multiple products we have to consider the weights of an item.

So, the formula will be:

CPI2= [(P2Red xQ1Red)+ (P2green x Q1green)]/[(P1Red xQ1Red)+ (P1grn x Q1grn)]

CPI2=[ (2 x 10) + (1x0)]/ [(1x10)+(2x0)]

CPI2=20/10=2

Meaning that prices have incresed × 2

3. Real spending is the amount spent in the current year but caliculted at the base year price.

Base year prices:

Red $1

Green $2

Real spending in year 1: (P1red*Q1red) + (P1green*Q1green)

                                     =$1x10 + 0 = $10

Real spending in year 2= (P1redQ2red) + (P1greenQ2green)

                                     = (1x 0) +(2 x 10) = $20

Real spending has increased from $10 to $20

Answer:

$1,284

Explanation:

The computation of the depreciation expense is shown below

= (Cost of diesel-powered tractor - estimated residual value) ÷ (useful operating life)  

= ($208,140 - $2,700) ÷ ($48,000 hours)

= ($205,440) ÷ ($48,000 hours)  

= $4.28 per hour

Now for the month, it would be  

= Operated hours in a month × depreciation per hour

= 300 hours × $4.28

= $1,284

Answer:

Explanation:

Rule 72 can be used calculate number of years that will be required to double GDP.

Number of Years = 72/ 3.5

                             = 22.5

on the given choices,  the closest number of years is 20 years.

Answer:

A. $192,900

Explanation:

In order to compute the total operating expenses for 2018, first, we have to calculate the variable cost per miles and the fixed cost which is shown below:

Variable cost per miles = (High Operating cost - low operating cost) ÷ (High miles - low miles)

= ($225,150 - $180,000) ÷ (85,000 miles -  50,000 miles)

= $45,150 ÷ 35,000 miles

= $1.29 per miles

Now the fixed cost equal to

= High operating cost - (High miles × Variable cost per miles)

= $225,150 - (85,000 miles × $1.29)

= $225,150 - $109,650

= $115,500      

Now the estimated operating expenses would be

= Fixed cost + expected miles × variable cost per miles

= $115,500 + 60,000 × 1.29

= $115,500 + $77,400

= $192,900

Estimated OC  for Really Fast Delivery Services is $192,900

Variable cost as per miles = (High OC - Low OC) / (High miles - Low miles)

Variable cost as per miles = [225,150 - 180,000] / [85,000 -  50,000]

Variable cost as per miles = 45,150 / 35,000  

Variable cost as per miles = $1.29 per miles

Fixed cost  = High OC - (High miles × VC per miles)

Fixed cost = $225,150 - (85,000 × $1.29)

Fixed cost = $115,500      

Estimated OC  = Fixed cost + [Expected miles × VC per miles]

Estimated OC  = $115,500 + [60,000 × 1.29]

Estimated OC = $115,500 + $77,400

Estimated OC  = $192,900

So, Option "A" is the correct answer to the following question.

Answer:

Marginal Propensity to save=0.6

Explanation:

In order to calculate Marginal Propensity of save, we have to find the marginal Propensity to consume.

Marginal Propensity to consume=Consumption Change/Income change

Marginal Propensity to consume=[tex]\frac{\Delta\ Consumption}{\Delta\ income}[/tex]

Change in Consumption=$40,000-$38,000

Change in Consumption=$2000

Change in income=$55,000-$50,000

Change in income=$5,000

Marginal Propensity to consume=[tex]\frac{2000}{5000}[/tex]

Marginal Propensity to consume= 0.4

Now,

Marginal Propensity to consume + Marginal Propensity to save=1

0.4 + Marginal Propensity of save=1

Marginal Propensity of save=1-0.4

Marginal Propensity to save=0.6

Costs incurred by businesses can be classified into fixed or variable costs, and further broken down into manufacturing, selling, or administrative costs, each with specific direct or indirect associations with the production of goods or services.

Businesses incur various types of costs, which can be classified into fixed costs and variable costs. Fixed costs are expenses that do not change with the level of production, such as rent or equipment, while variable costs fluctuate with production levels, like direct materials or commissions. Additionally, costs can be categorized as manufacturing costs (either direct or indirect), selling costs, or administrative costs.

Answer:

If all firms in a competitive industry are legally required to meet new regulations that increase their costs of production, the supply of goods would decrease.

Explanation:

Final answer:

New regulations that increase firms' production costs in a competitive industry cause the supply curve to shift left, indicating a lower quantity supplied at any given price, while demand initially remains unchanged. Higher production costs may result in higher prices for consumers, potentially affecting demand over time.

Explanation:

When a competitive industry is required to comply with new regulations that increase their production costs, it impacts the supply of the good in the market. The cost increase typically causes a shift in the supply curve to the left, indicating that the quantity supplied at any given price will be lower. This is due to the higher cost of production making it less profitable or more expensive to produce the same amount of goods. Meanwhile, the demand for the good remains unchanged because the change in regulations affects the production side of the market, not the preferences or purchasing power of consumers.

As a result of this leftward shift in supply, we can expect the market price of the good to increase if demand remains constant. Producers may try to pass on the additional costs to consumers in the form of higher prices. Over time, if the increased prices lead to a decrease in quantity demanded, the demand curve may shift to the left, reflecting a lower quantity of goods demanded at each price.

Answer:

A zero coupon bond:

A. is sold at a large premium.

B. has a price equal to the future value of the face amount given a positive rate of return.

C. can only be issued by the U.S. Treasury.

D. has less interest rate risk than a comparable coupon bond.

E. has a market price that is computed using semiannual compounding of interest.

Answer is : B

Explanation:

In classification of bonds we have a unique type of bond known as Zero-coupon bonds also know as Pure discount bonds, unlike traditional bonds they don’t pay coupon instead they are sold on discount basis and on maturity the bondholder receive a par value, for this reason the price will be at a discount on sale and on maturity be redeemed at par price showing a positive rate of return.

A zero coupon bond is a type of bond that is sold at a large premium and does not make periodic interest payments. It can be issued by various entities and has a market price calculated using compound interest. Compared to coupon bonds, zero coupon bonds have less interest rate risk and their price is determined by the future value of the face amount given a positive rate of return.

A zero coupon bond is a type of bond that is sold at a large premium and does not make periodic interest payments like a traditional coupon bond. Instead, the investor earns interest through the difference between the purchase price and the face value of the bond at maturity. These bonds can be issued by various entities, not just the U.S. Treasury.

Zero coupon bonds have a market price that is computed using compound interest, typically on a semiannual basis. This means that the interest is added to the bond's value, and the interest in the next period is calculated based on this new value.

Zero coupon bonds generally carry less interest rate risk compared to comparable coupon bonds. This is because the investor knows exactly how much they will receive at maturity, regardless of how interest rates fluctuate during the life of the bond.

The price of a zero coupon bond is equal to the future value of the face amount given a positive rate of return. This means that the price depends on the interest rate and the time until maturity. As interest rates increase, the price of the bond decreases, and vice versa.

Answer:

False.

Explanation:

When there is a rightward shift in the demand curve and leftward shift in the supply curve then as a result the equilibrium price of the good increases and the effect on equilibrium quantity is indeterminate because it depends upon the magnitude of the shifts of demand and supply curve.

Hence, the statement is not true.

Answer:

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Amount of ethanol produced by stover-to-ethanol plant, F = 40,000 tonne/ year

Number of functional units, N = 8

Now,

For F < 60,000 tonne/ year

The FCI of the plant is given as

FCI = 458,000 × N × [tex]\text F^{0.3}[/tex]

On substituting the respective values, we get

FCI = 458,000 × 8 × [tex]\text 40,000^{0.3}[/tex]

or

FCI = 3,664,000 × 24.0225

or

FCI = $88018398.52 = $88 Million

Answer:

a.  Portugal has comparative advantage in producing Cheese.

b. Switzerland has comparative advantage in producing Jeans.

c. 8 pairs of jeans per pound of Cheese

   9 pairs of jeans per pound of Cheese

d. The answer is D. 5 Jeans.

e. The answer is B. 1/10 Pound.

Explanation:

a. Portugal can produce 1 pound of Cheese for opportunity cost of 5 pairs of jeans whereas Switzerland can produce 1 pound of cheese for 10 pairs of Jeans, if Portugal imports jeans from Switzerland then it can get 10 jeans against 1 pound of cheese instead of 5 jeans which it can make at his own. So comparatively producing cheese is cheaper for Portugal.

b. referring to the explanation in requirement “a.” above Switzerland has benefit in producing jeans instead of producing Cheese.

c. Portugal can produce 1 pound of cheese for 5 pairs of jeans which suggests that during a trade receiving more than 5 pair of jeans for 1 pound of cheese will be beneficial for Portugal. Similarly Switzerland can produce 1 pound of cheese for 10 pairs of jeans, receiving 1 pound of cheese for less than 10 pairs of jeans can be beneficial for Switzerland.

• 3 pairs of jeans/ pound of cheese will be a loss for Portugal

• 15 pairs of jeans/pound of cheese will be a loss for Switzerland

• 8 pairs of jeans/ pound of cheese will provide gain to both countries

• 9 pairs of jeans/ pound of cheese will again provide gain to both countries  

d. Portugal should trade for more than 5 pairs of jeans for each pound of cheese to gain from the trade because 5 pairs of jeans is the cost it can produce at his own in the country.

e. Switzerland should receive atleast more than 1/10 pound of cheese against 1 pair of jeans to gain from the trade. Because if it produces in his own country 1 pair of jeans equals 1/10 pounds of cheese

(1 Pounds of cheese / 10 Pairs of Jeans)  

Portugal has a comparative advantage in the production of cheese and Switzerland in the production of jeans. Portugal would benefit from trade if it receives more than 5 pairs of jeans for each pound of cheese it exports. Switzerland would benefit if it receives more than 1/10 pound of cheese for each pair of jeans it exports. Trade prices beneficial to both would be 8 or 9 pairs of jeans per pound of cheese.

By comparing the opportunity cost of producing cheese in the two countries, we can tell that Portugal has a comparative advantage in the production of cheese. This is because Portugal only needs to forgo producing 5 pairs of jeans to produce a pound of cheese, while Switzerland has to forgo 10 pairs. On the other hand, Switzerland has a comparative advantage in the production of jeans.

Portugal can indeed gain from specialization and trade as long as it receives more than 5 pairs of jeans for each pound of cheese it exports to Switzerland. This is because Portugal's opportunity cost of cheese is 5 pairs of jeans. So, for the trade to be beneficial, it should receive a price higher than its opportunity cost.

Similarly, Switzerland can gain from trade as long as it receives more than 1/10 pound of cheese for each pair of jeans it exports to Portugal. This is because the opportunity cost for Switzerland of getting one pair of jeans is giving up 1/10 pound of cheese.

So, the prices of trade that would allow both Portugal and Switzerland to gain from trade are 8 pairs of jeans per pound of cheese and 9 pairs of jeans per pound of cheese. This falls in between Portugal's and Switzerland's opportunity costs for cheese.

b. Hold the tires with reasonable care for disposition as the seller instructs.

Explanation:

When goods are non-conforming to contract, the buyer has the right to reject the goods. The seller also has the right to cure the defect or ensure conformity.

1. Buyer's right to reject: In this case the buyer has the right to reject the goods on inspection, and notify the seller within a reasonable amount of time.

2. Seller's right to cure: The seller has the right to cure defect on the goods, and this can be done where there is still time to rectify the defects noticed by the buyer. In this case, the buyer is not due to pay for the goods for the next 30 days.

The seller still has the opportunity to meet the contract standard and close the deal.

So option b is correct. The buyer holds the goods pending decision of seller to either cure defects on goods or retrieve the goods.

Answer:

20.91%

Explanation:

Provided information

Average historical rate of return = 10.1 %

Variance = 0.0116751

By considering the above information, the standard deviation would be

= Square root of Variance

= 10.81%

So the upper percentage range of return would be

= Standard deviation + standard deviation

= 10.81% + 10.1%

= 20.91%

Since we have to find out the upper percentage so we added it otherwise we have to deduct it

Explanation:

This is not the case in case of single-server queuing system

Final answer:

The statement about the average number of customers in the queue being one less than the average number in the system is true for a single-server queuing system.

Explanation:

The statement that the average number of customers in the waiting line is one less than the average number in the system is True. In a single-server queuing system, we typically define two quantities: the average number of customers in the system (L) and the average number of customers in the queue (Lq).

The relationship between these two is given by L = Lq + 1, assuming the server is busy and there is always one customer being served. Customers arriving at the back of the line contribute to Lq, and as they move to the front of the line and receive service, they contribute to L without affecting Lq.

If on average, one customer arrives every two minutes, it does take indeed six minutes on average for three customers to arrive. This can be derived using the theory of queuing systems, which focuses on the analysis of the arrival process and the service mechanism.

The model used here assumes that arrivals are spaced out evenly over time (one every two minutes), a simplification which could be challenged by real-life variances such as peak times or group arrivals.
