Question:
If the marginal product of capital net depreciation equals 8 percent, the rate of growth of population equals 2 percent, and the rate of labor-augmenting technical progress equals 2 percent, to reach the Golden Rule level of the capital stock, the ____ rate in this economy must be _____.
A) saving; increased
B) population growth; decreased
C) depreciation; decreased
D) total output growth; decreased
Answer
The correct answer is A) <u>Saving</u> rate of the economy must be i<u>ncreased</u> in order for the economy to reach the Golden Rule Level of the Capital Stock.
Explanation
Golden Rule Level of the Capital Stock is the level at which
MPK = δ,
Where MPK is Marginal Product; and δ the depreciation rate;
so that the marginal product of capital equals the depreciation rate.
In the Solow growth model, a <em>high saving rate results in a large steady-state capital stock and a high level of steady-state output.</em> A low saving rate results to a small steady state capital stock and a low level of steady-state output. Higher saving leads to faster economic growth only in the short run. An increase in the saving rate raises growth until the economy reaches the new steady state. That is, if the economy retains a high saving rate, it will also maintain a large capital stock and a high level of output, but it will not maintain a high rate of growth forever .

A. Assuming that employees would understand the content of the PowerPoint slides
Explanation:
One of the most common mistakes that can be made is assuming that the receiver on the other end of the communication chain would understand quite well, what message, you as the sender, is passing across.
In the scenario cited in the question above, the new benefit offerings that have been developed after the overhauling, of which Mike has taken his time to explain in a power point presentation just few months before employees would be required to enroll for the program, must have been misunderstand by the employees. The multiple emails reveals that the employees do not really understand the content, and this comes as a surprised to Mike. We can infer that Mike must have made the mistake of assuming that the employees would understand the content of the PowerPoint slides.

Cultural capital consists of knowledge about artistic trends and cultural acts that one can use to establish oneself in society, and demonstrate a particular social-standing. It also consists of tastes, preferences, and even ways of speaking, living, and moving.
The term was coined by French sociologist Pierre Bordieu. According to him, cultural capital is a form of class distinction, because the access to certain cultural products depends on variables such as race, ethnicity, income, sex, and religion.
