Answer:
Potential increase in income = $500 million
Explanation:
Expenditure Multiplier is the amount by which the real GDP will change if autonomous expenditure changes by a given amount.
The real GDP will change in greater proportion or magnitude as a result of a unit change in any of the component aggregate expenditure. This is called the multiplier effect
The expenditure multiplier is calculated as follows: 1/(1-MPC).
MPC is the portion of additional income that is spent. If the MPC is 0.8, then the expenditure multiplier will be = 1/(1-0.8) = 5
Using the with an date from the question in government spending by $million, the resulting change in GDP would be
Change in GDP = change in autonomous expenditure × Multiplier
= 100 × 5 = $500 million
Potential increase in income = $500 million

51 - 50 = 1 oranges
3. Sancho deposits $500 in a bank account today which pays 4 percent interest, compounded annually. The amount of interest Sancho earns in year 4 will be:
Answer:

If a stock with a beta of 1.4 is expected to return 18% when Treasury bills yield 6%, what is the expected return on the market portfolio
Answer:
14.57%
Explanation:
A stock has a beta of 1.4
The expected return is 18%
The risk free rate is 6%
Therefore, the expected return on the market portfolio can be calculated as follows
18%= 6% + 1.4(market return-6%)
18%= 6% + 1.4market return - 8.4
18%= 6-8.4 + 1.4market return
18%= -2.4% + 1.4market return
18%+2.4%= 1.4market return
20.4= 1.4market return
market return= 20.4/1.4
= 14.57%
Hence the expected return on the market portfolio is 14.57%

Answer:
less reliable than the appraiser's.
Explanation:
in such a scenario the broker's opinion of value will be less reliable than the appraiser's.

An economist estimated that the price elasticity of demand for new cars to be 0.87 if the price of cars declines by 40%. One would expect the quantity of new cars to:______
Answer:
% change in quantity =34.8%
Explanation:
Price elasticity of demand (PED) is the degree of responsiveness of demand to a change in price.
Where a percentage change in price produces a more than a proportional change in quantity, we say the product is price elastic. On the other hand, where a change in price produces a less than a proportional change in quantity demand, then demand is price inelastic
PED is computed as follows:
PED = % change in quantity /% change in Price
PED = 0.87
% change in Price = 40%
% change in Quantity =?
0.87 = y/40%/
Cross mulitiplying, we have
y = 0.87 × 40 = 34.8
Dividing both sides by 0.87
y = 34.8
% change in quantity = 34.8
% change in quantity =34.8
Adison Winery had beginning long-term debt of $39,476 and ending long-term debt of $44,875. The beginning and ending total debt balances were $48,835 and $53,888, respectively. The company paid interest of $4,327 during the year. What was the company's cash flow to creditors?
Answer:
The answer is -$1,072
Explanation:
The company's cash flow to creditors is the total amount of money paid to the creditors. It is a cash outflow because money goes out of the company to pay the creditors.
Company's cash flow to creditors = Interest paid - (ending long-term debt - beginning long-term debt)
$4,327 - ($44,875 - $39,476)
$4,327 - $5,399
= -$1,072
Note: The answer is in negative.

"A $10,000 municipal bond with 5 years to maturity is purchased in the primary market at 105. The bond is sold after 2 years at 103. The taxable gain or loss is:"
Answer:
Taxable loss is $200
Explanation:

Answer:
Net operating income= $83,714
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Sales= $515,000.
Variable costs are 44 percent of sales

Explanation:
The given table can be presented as follows;
Mars[tex]{}[/tex] [tex]{}[/tex]Venus
Food [tex]{}[/tex] Clothing Food [tex]{}[/tex] Clothing
0 [tex]{}[/tex] 30 0 [tex]{}[/tex] 40

8 [tex]{}[/tex] 6 16 8
10 0 20 [tex]{}[/tex] 0
From the attached chart as produced in Excel, the trend lines and their equation for Mars and Venus can be seen
The relationship between Clothing, y and Food, x production for Mars is given as follows;
y = -3·x + 30
The relationship between Clothing, y and Food, x production for Venus is given as follows;
y = -2·x + 40
Therefore since a given decrease in food production results in a higher increase in Cloth production for Mars than for Venus, Mars should specialize in the production of clothing.
