Question
Suppose that land is specific to corn, capital is specific to automobiles, labor is mobile between sectors, and payments are as follows:
Automobiles:
Sales revenue = 200;
Payments to labor = 100;
Payments to capital = 100
Corn:
Sales revenue = 200;
Payments to labor = 40;
Payments to land = 160
Suppose price of corn increases by 20%, the price of automobiles increases by 10%, and the wage increases by 15%.
Calculate the Nominal Percentage change on Rental of Land and put your answer in the box below.
(Keep your answer in percentage with 2 decimals. For example, If you got 15.26% , fill in 15.26 in the box below. Do NOT use 0.1526. )

- Which of the following statements is correct? a. The competitive rental rate of machines (capital) is the sum of forgone interest and depreciation costs the machine’s owner must pay for one period. b. In the case of machines that do not depreciate, the competitive rental rate of machines (capital) is equal to forgone interest for an infinitely long time. c. The competitive rental rate of machines (capital) is the cost borne by firms whether they rent the machines they use or own them. d. All of the above.arrow_forwardQuestion 3. Automobile manufacturing is an industry subject to significant economies ofscale. Suppose there are four domestic auto manufacturers, but the demand for domestic autosis no more than 2.5 times the quantity produced at the bottom of the long-run average costcurve. What do you expect will happen to the domestic auto industry in the long run?arrow_forward6. The multiplier effect Consider a hypothetical economy where there are no taxes and no foreign trade, and households spend $0.75 of each additional dollar they earn and save the remaining $0.25. The marginal propensity to consume (MPC) for this economy is 0.75 ; the marginal propensity to save (MPS) for this economy is 0.25 ; and the multiplier for this economy is 4 Suppose investment spending in this economy increases by $100 billion. The increase in investment will lead to an increase in income, generating an increase in consumption that increases income yet again, and so on. Fill in the following table to show the impact of the change in investment spending on the first two rounds of consumption spending and, eventually, on total output and income. Hint: Be sure to enter a negative sign in front of the number if there is a decrease in consumption. Change in Investment Spending = $100 billion First Change in Consumption = billion Second Change in Consumption = 24 billion Total…arrow_forward
- Most economies have a goal of maximizing the average consumption per period. Assume that during each year, an economy saves the same (to be determined) percentage S of its production. During a year in which the beginning capital level is K, a quantity K1y2 of capital is produced. If the economy saves a percentage S of its capital, then during the current year it consumes (1 2 S)K units of capital and, through savings, adds (SK) 1y2 units of capital. Also, during any year, 10% of all capital present at the beginning of the year depreciates or wears out. a. What annual savings percentage S maximizes the long-run average consumption level? Assume that year 50 represents the long run, so that the objective is the consumption level in year 50. You can assume the initial capital is 1 (for some appropriate measurement unit). b. Use SolverTable to see how the optimal value of S depends on the annual depreciation rate.arrow_forwardInterpret this value. Enter your answer for dollar value in whole dollar. For example, an answer of $1.20 million should be entered as 1,200,000, not 1.20.

- Now suppose that annual unit sales, variable cost, and unit price are equal to their respective expected values—that is, there is no uncertainty. Determine the company's annual profit for this scenario. Round answer to a whole number, if needed.$arrow_forwardCalculating LIFO, FIFO, Income and Cash Flows An acquaintance has proposed the following business plan to you. A local company requires a consistent quantity of a commodity and is looking for a reliable supplier. You could become that reliable supplier. The cost of the commodity is expected to rise steadily over the foreseeable future, but the company is willing to pay more than the price that is current at the time. All you would need to do is make an investment, purchase the inventory and then deliver inventory to the company over the following year. One complication is that the commodity is available for purchase only seasonally, so at the end of every year you would need to purchase the supply for the following year. The customer pays promptly on delivery. An initial cash investment of $62,000 would be used to purchase $50,000 of inventory in December 2019. The remaining cash would be held for liquidity needs. In the following year, you would deliver this inventory to the customer.…arrow_forward1. Consider a pure exchange economy with two goods and two consumers. Let F denote food and C denote clothing. Lacy has the utility function U(F, C) = F 1/3 C 2/3 . Roy has the utility function V (F, C) = F 2/3 C 1/3 . Each consumer has an initial endowment consisting of 9 units of F and 9 units of C. Normalize the price of F to one. Let P denote the price of C. (a) Is the initial endowment a Pareto efcient allocation of F and C between the two con sumers? Explain briefy. (b) What is each consumer’s demand for F and C as a function of P? [Hint: the wealth of each consumer is 9 + 9P.] (c) What is the price of C in a competitive equilibrium? (d) What is the allocation of F and C between the two consumers in a competitive equilibrium?arrow_forward
