Answer:

MPC = 0.75

Explanation:

Marginal Propensity to Consume (MPC) is a part of Keynesian macroeconomic theory and is calculated by the change in consumption divided by the change in income. It quantifies the increased consumption which occurs with an increase in disposable income

MPC = \frac{/Δconsumption}{/Δincome}

MPC = \frac{90}{120}

MPC = 0.75

Anna71 [15]

Answer:

$1,443.75

Explanation:

The total cost for paving Sam's portion of the road = $35 per linear foot x 110 front feet =  $3,850

If the city is going to pay 25% of the total cost, then it will pay $962.50, that would leave a total of $2,887.50 to be paid between Sam and his front neighbor. So Sam's share = $2,887.50 / 2 = $1,443.75

Greg sold an apartment building he owned for 20 years. He paid $100,000 for it, and made $300,000 worth of improvements. His dep
Marat540 [252]

Answer:

Greg’s capital gain on the apartment = $590,000

Explanation:

Purchase Cost = $100,000

Improvements = $300,000

Total Initial cost = Purchase Cost + Improvements

Total Initial cost = $100,000 + $300,000

Total Initial cost = $400,000

Depreciation for 20 Years = Depreciation per annum * 20

= $2,500 * 20

= $50,000

Net Book value after 20 Years = Initial cost - Depreciation for 20 Years

= $400,000 - $50,000

= $350,000

Capital Gain = Net Sale - Net Book Value

When Net Sale = Sale Price - Commission

= $1,000,000 - $ 60,000

= $940,000

Hence, Capital Gain = Net Sale - Net Book Value

Capital Gain = $940,000 - $350,000

Capital Gain = $590,000

You are trying to decide between a par value corporate bond carrying a coupon rate of 6.25% per year and a par value municipal b
FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

D.

Municipal bond because the equivalent taxable yield is 6.6%

Explanation:

we should make the important difference that municipal bonds are tax free while corporate bonds don't.

Therefore we should solve for the after tax rate fo the corporate bond:

pretax (1-t) = after tax -rate\\0.0625(1-0.28) = 0.0625(0.72) = 0.045

The corporate bond as a yield of 4.5% after taxes which is lower than the municipal bond. This make it more attractive

We can also solve for the pre-tax rate of the municipal bond:

pretax(1-t) = after tax - rate\\pretax (1-0.28) = 0.0475\\pretax = 0.0475/0.72 = 0,065972 = 0.066

the municipal bonds would be equivalent to a 6.6% corporate bonds.

This makes option D correct.

You’ve just joined the investment banking firm of Dewey, Cheatum, and Howe. They’ve offered you two different salary arrangement
creativ13 [48]

Answer:

Option 2 is slightly better.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

They’ve offered you two different salary arrangements. You can have $85,000 per year for the next two years, or you can have $74,000 per year for the next two years, along with a $20,000 signing bonus today.

To determine which of the options is better, we need to calculate the present value. To do this we will assume an interest rate of 10% per year compounded annually.

PV= FV*(1+i)^n

<u>Option 1:</u>

PV= 85000/1.10 + 85,000/1.10^2= $147,520.66

<u>Option 2</u>:

PV= 20,000 + 74,000/1.10 + 74,000/1.10^2= 148,429.7

Option 2 is slightly better.
