Calculating the Gini Coefficient from a Lender's Income Share

Match each economic characteristic with the government model it best describes.

Policy Impact on Income Shares

In a simplified economic model, a lender provides capital to a borrower for a project. The project generates a profit rate (R) on the capital, and the lender charges an interest rate (r). The lender's share of the project's net income is the ratio of the interest rate to the profit rate (r/R). The borrower receives the remaining share. If a project has a profit rate of 20% and the interest rate is 5%, what is the borrower's share of the net income?

In an economic model where a lender's income share is determined by the ratio of the interest rate (r) to the profit rate (R), if the borrower's share of the net income is found to be 60%, what can be concluded about the relationship between the interest rate and the profit rate?

Impact of Changing Profitability on Income Distribution

In an economic model where a lender's share of income is defined as the ratio of the interest rate to the project's profit rate, a simultaneous doubling of both the interest rate and the profit rate will result in a larger share of income for the lender.

In an economic arrangement, a lender's share of a project's net income is calculated as the ratio of the interest rate (r) to the project's profit rate (R). If both the interest rate and the profit rate increase by the exact same amount (e.g., both increase by 1 percentage point), under what condition will the lender's share of the income increase?

In an economic model where a lender's income share is determined by the ratio of the interest rate (r) to the profit rate (R), if the borrower's share of the net income is found to be 60%, what can be concluded about the relationship between the interest rate and the profit rate?
