The loan carries a 9.25 percent fixed contract rate, amortized monthly over 25 years with a 7-year term. What will be the property’s (annual) debt coverage ratio in the first year of operations? Group of answer choices 1.19 1.40 0.08 0.84

As the marginal propensity to consume (mpc) increases, the multiplier remains the same. increases. decreases. as the marginal propensity to save (mps) increases, the multiplier decreases. increases. remains the same. if the marginal propensity to consume is 0.30, what is the multiplier, assuming there are no taxes or imports? round to the tenths place. given the multiplier that you calculated, by how much will gross domestic product (gdp) increase when there is a $1,000 increase in government spending? $

Ajustification for job training programs is that they improve worker productivity. suppose that you are asked to evaluate whether more job training makes workers more productive. however, rather than having data on individual workers, you have access to data on manufacturing firms in ohio. in particu- lar, for each firm, you have information on hours of job training per worker (training) and number of nondefective items produced per worker hour (output). (i) carefully state the ceteris paribus thought experiment underlying this policy question. (ii) does it seem likely that a firm’s decision to train its workers will be independent of worker characteristics? what are some of those measurable and unmeasurable worker characteristics? (iii) name a factor other than worker characteristics that can affect worker productivity. (iv) if you find a positive correlation between output and training, would you have convincingly established that job training makes workers more productive? explain.

Suppose the government enacts a stimulus program composed of $600 billion of new government spending and $300 billion of tax cuts for an economy currently producing a gdp of $14 comma 000 billion. if all of the new spending occurs in the current year and the government expenditure multiplier is 1.5, the expenditure portion of the stimulus package will add nothing percentage points of extra growth to the economy.
