Y = C + I
Y = 50 + 0.75 + 45
Y - 0.75 = 50 + 45
Y (1 - 0.75) = 95
0.25y = 95
Y = 95/0.25
Y = 380

Total budget = N100,000,000

  Portion of pie chart covered in degree = 360

  Expenditure on manufacturing = x/N100,000,000 × 3600 = 360

  3600x = 360 × N100,000,000

  x = 360×N100,000,000/3600

  x=N10,000,000

  Therefore, the budget allocated to Manufacturing is N10,000,000

  Total budget = N100,000,000

  Portion of pie chart covered in degree = 720

  Expenditure on Agriculture = x/N100,000,000 × 3600 = 720

  3600x = 720 × N100,000,000

  x = 720 × N100,000,000/3600

  x = N20,000,000

  Therefore, the budget allocated to Agriculture is N20,000,000

  Ratio of expenditure on Manufacturing to Agriculture;

  Ratio = 10,000,000:20,000,000

  =1:2

The different types of capital include: Fixed capital, which are assets not used up in the course of production. Circulatory or Working capitals are assets which are used up in the process of production Eg. Raw materials, fuel etc Social capital is the assets provided by the government that aid production. Examples include electricity, water etc.

Saving capital is not a type of capital

Occupational distribution of population refers to the classification of the working population into different types of work they engage in. The occupational distribution in any population is influenced by factors which includes: The level of education, Availability of natural resources, The level of technology, The type of production activities.

When a group data is involved, cumulative frequency is used. The formula will be: Median=[(N+1)/2]th

  For member of odd number items. That is, where N is odd

  Median=([N/2]th + [N/2 + 1]th)/2

  For member of odd number items. That is, where N is odd

  Solution:

  From the table, there are 20 members as indicated by the cumulative frequency. Since the members are odd (10) the median age will be ([N/2]th + [N/2 + 1]th)/2

  Median=([10/2]th + [10/2 + 1]th)/2

  =(5th + 6th)/2

  The 5th member is 3 and the 6th member is on 3

  Median=(3 + 3)/2

  =6/2

  Median = 3

number of people who scored above 6=5+4+9+6

  =24

Economics seeks to study the relationship between ends and means. Ends are unlimited while the means are limited. Scarcity means resources are limited in relation to the ends. Economics therefore seek is concerned with allocating limited resources among the competing and unlimited wants.
