Lorenz curves also can be used to provide a relative measure of the distribution of the total assets of a country. Using data in a report by the economic committee of a certain country, an economist produced the following Lorenz curves for the distribution of total assets in the country in 1963 and 1983, shown below. f(x) = x10 Lorenz curve for 1963 g(x) = x13 Lorenz curve for 1983 Find the Gini index of income concentration for each Lorenz curve and interpret the results. .... What is the Gini index for 1963? (Round to three decimal places as needed.) What is the Gini index for 1983? (Round to three decimal places as needed.) Interpret your results. O A. Total assets were more equally distributed in 1963 O B. Total assets were more equally distributed in 1983 O c. Total assets were distributed the same in 1963 as in 1983.

You are considering two savings plans for your future retirement. Option 1: Deposit R1000 at the end of each quarter for the first 12 years. At the end of 12 years, make no further deposits, but leave the amount accumulated at the end of 12 years for the next 13 years. Option 2: Do nothing for the first 12 years.

If your deposits or investments earn at an interest rate of 6% compounded quarterly, which of the following statement is the most accurate? With Option 2, when compared with Option 1, you will be able to accumulate A. R29 863 more at the end of 25 years from now B. R33 424 more at the end of 25 years from now C. R37 090 less at the end of 25 years from now D. R41 526 less at the end of 25 years from now E. None of the above

You inherit $10K when you are 20. What is this worth when you are ready to retire at 65? Assume that the money can be invested at 7%, which is your interest rate for the time value of money. Compare this with an insurance policy that could be purchased with a lump-sum payment of $10K. That policy would pay you $100K at age 65 and your survivors $100K if you die sooner. How much value per year must you put on protecting your survivors for these to be equivalent?
