thought through one informed by weighing the short and long-run
costs and returns carefully. After thorough deliberation, you
concluded that, it is a necessary investment to make to advance
your career. You were very happy when you estimated that your
life-time total net worth (Nw) will depend on the following factors
in your worth equation:
?? =40,000−0.9?+2.2?+5.4?+1.5?
Where I is your investment or cost of GIMPA education, K is
your knowledge accumulation at GIMPA, E is the overall experience
accumulation at GIMPA and N is the net-working factor at
GIMPA.
a) Provide a detailed interpretation of your life-time worth
equation.
b) Suppose that your investment in GIMPA education is GHc
30,000, your
knowledge accumulation at GIMPA is worth GHc 500,000, your
overall experience accumulation at GIMPA is worth GHc 250,000 and
your net-working factor is worth GHc 500,000, find and explain your
life-time total net worth and elasticities of your knowledge
accumulation, experience accumulation, net- working factor to your
life-time total net worth.
c) Hence, why should you take your knowledge accumulation,
experience accumulation and net-working very seriously during your
