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 .

The below additional piece of information is missing from the question:
In its 2018 income statement, what amount of interest expense should Hernandez report from this lease transaction?
The interest expense for 2018 is $150,000
Explanation:
Interest expense for 2018 is the implicit interest 10% multiplied by the difference present value of $1,800,000 minus annual payment of $300,000.
In order to compute the interest expense,the annual payment must be deducted first since the annual payment was made at the start of the year,hence interest is only due on the net amount of $1,500,000($1,800,000-$300,000).
Interest expense=$1,500,000*10%=$150,000
Answer:
Visual image personality
Explanation:
In marketing a strong visual image personality can help establish your company's visual identity, e.g. Little Wolf Coffee. The image of the wolf performing funny circus like acts, or just laying around is clearly identified with the coffee brand. It isn't even a complex drawing, sometimes just a few blue lines that resemble a wolf, but the image stuck with the customers.
Answer:
market capitalization = current stock price x total stocks outstanding.
Since we are not given neither the total number of shares outstanding or current stock price, we can use another question as an example.
In the other question, the total number of outstanding shares was 3,225,987 and the current stock price is $20.76. So the current market cap = 3,225,987 x $20.76 = $66,971,490
If the stock price increases by 10% (to $22.836), then Chester's market cap = 3,225,987 x $22.836 = $73,668,639 or $73.7 million.
You can follow the example to determine the market cap in your question.
