calculate mpc when a change in investment spending of $40 million leads to an increase in real gdp by $160 million
Answer:
mpc is equal to 0.75
Explanation:
This can be calculated as follows:
Increase in real gdp = multiplier * change in investment spending ............ (1)
Where;
Increase in real gdp = $160 million
multiplier = ?
change in investment spending = $40 million
By suppressing the million, substitute the values into equation (1) and solve for multiplier, we have:
$160 = mpc * $40
multiplier = $160 / $40 = 4
The multiplier is given as follows:
multiplier = 1 / (1 - mpc) .................... (2)
Substituting multiplier = 4 into equation (2), and solve for mpc, we have:
4 = 1 / (1 - mpc)
4(1 - mpc) = 1
4 - 4mpc = 1
4 - 1 = 4mpc
3 = 4mpc
mpc = 3 / 4
mpc = 0.75
Therefore, marginal propensity to consume (mpc) is equal to 0.75.
banks are financial intermediaries that have customer deposits as its primary asset and loans to borrowers as their primary liability. B. provide liquid assets to lenders and long-term financing to borrowers. C. are types of mutual funds. D. have customer deposits as its primary asset and that provide liquid assets to lenders. E. increase transaction costs to both borrowers and depositors.
Answer:
By a process of elimination, the answer is:
B. provide liquid assets to lenders and long-term financing to borrowers.
Explanation:
A. have customer deposits as its primary asset and loans to borrowers as their primary liability. ⇒ WRONG, IT IS THE OTHER WAY AROUND
C. are types of mutual funds. ⇒ WRONG, MUTUAL FUNDS ARE DIFFERENT THAN BANKS
D. have customer deposits as its primary asset and that provide liquid assets to lenders. ⇒ WRONG, DEPOSITS ARE LIABILITIES
E. increase transaction costs to both borrowers and depositors. ⇒ WRONG, BANKS DECREASE TANSACTION COSTS
Personally, I believe that a better description would be that banks have customer deposits as its primary liabilities and loans to borrowers as their primary assets.
Using activity-based costing, total overhead per unit of Great P model is (rounded to the nearest cent): $42.61. $45.99. $66.73. $61.32.
Answer:
$42.61
Explanation:
The computation of the total overhead cost of Great P model is as follows:
Activity Overhead allocated to Great P
Engineering and Design ($40,,712 × 1440 ÷ 2409 ) $241,920
Quality control ($269,808 × 7,200 ÷ $12,848 ) $151,200
Machinery ($539,616 × 13,440 ÷ 33,726 ) $215,040
Miscellaneous overhead ($134,904 × 14,400 ÷ 26,400 ) $73584
Total $681,744
Now the overhead per unit is
= Total Overhead allocated ÷ Annual sales in units
= $681,744 ÷ 16,000
= $42.61
hence, the first option is correct
Suppose a bank has $600 million in deposits and $30 million in required reserves, and it is holding no excess reserves. What is the required reserve ratio
Answer:
5%
Explanation:
Deposit= $600 million
Required reserve= $30 million
Required reserve ratio= required Reserve/deposit
= 30 million/600 million
= 0.05×100
= 5%
Hence the required reserve ratio is 5%
g At the end of a month, how is over or under applied overhead reported on the financial statements
Answer:
Hie your question has missing information, i tried to look it up online but i could not find it.
Here below is some explanation on the g part of your question on the treatment of over or under applied overhead on the financial statements.
At the end of the reporting period, the entity compares its actual manufacturing overhead to its applied manufacturing overhead (used in determining product cost)
under- applied or over- applied
If actual manufacturing overhead > applied manufacturing overhead, the overheads are under- applied.
and
If actual manufacturing overhead < applied manufacturing overhead, the overheads are over- applied.
reporting on the financial statements
under- applied are added to the cost of sales in the trading account. this increases the costs of sales amount.
under- applied are deducted from the cost of sales in the trading account. this decrease the costs of sales amount
Alternatively,
under -applied overheads are allocated to inventory balances including cost of sales and added to the total of the balances as the end of the period.
and
over -applied overheads are allocated to inventory balances including cost of sales and deducted from the total of the balances as the end of the period.
(True) or (False)? The gain or loss on the sale of an asset can be calculated as the difference between sale price and accumulated depreciation.
Answer:
False
Explanation:
Rather, gain or loss on the sale of an asset can be calculated as the difference between sale price and net book value (NBV).
The net book value can be calculated by accumulated depreciation from the purcahse price of the assets.
Therefore, gain or loss on the sale of an asset can be calculated using the following fomula:
Gain (loss) on the sale of an asset = Sales price - Net book value

Erkens Company recorded the following events during the month of April: a. Purchased 180,000 pounds of materials on account; the cost was $5.00 per pound. b. Issued 120,000 pounds of materials to production, of which 15,000 pounds were used as indirect materials. c. Incurred direct labor costs of $240,000 and $40,000 of indirect labor costs. d. Recorded depreciation on equipment for the month, $75,700. e. Recorded insurance costs for the manufacturing property, $3,500. f. Paid $8,500 cash for utilities and other miscellaneous items for the manufacturing plant. g. Completed Job H11 costing $7,500 and Job G28 costing $77,000 during the month and transferred them to the Finished goods inventory account. h. Shipped Job G28 to the customer during the month. The job was invoiced at 35% above cost. i. Used 7,700 machine hours during April.
Answer:
Predetermined overhead rate is $30
Explanation:
1- Predetermined Overhead rate is :
Budgeted Factory Overhead / Budgeted Machine hours
$1,980,000 / 66,000 hours = $30 per machine hour.
The predetermined overhead rate is estimated by company management for the per unit overhead. In this case the machine hours are used as cost driver and the estimated overhead is divided by machine hours to identify overhead cost per machine hour.
13. Suppose you are buying your first condo for $440,000, and you will make a $30,000 down payment. You have arranged to finance the remainder with a 30-year, amortized mortgage at a 5.4% interest rate. You will make monthly payments with the first payment due in one month. Assuming that the sellers accept the offer, what will your monthly payments be
Answer:
monthly payments will be $2,302
Explanation:
This question requires us to calculate the monthly payments (PMT) on the mortgage with the following data ;
PV = ($440,000 - $30,000) = $410,000
N = 30 x 12 = 360
P/yr = 12
I = 5.4%
FV = $ 0
PMT = ?
Using a Financial Calculator to input the data as above, the PMT can be determined as $2,302. Therefore, the monthly payments will be $2,302.
Notes
Important to note that we remove the down payment of $30,000 from the principle amount. There is no time value of money effect on this amount.
Also compounding is done monthly thus there are 12 period in the year
If the periodic weighted average inventory costing system is used, how should cost of goods available for sale be allocated at the end of the period? Group of answer choices
Answer:
The cost of goods available for sale is allocated to the cost of goods sold and the ending inventory at the end of the period based on the computation of the weighted average cost per unit.
Explanation:
The allocation of the cost of goods available for sale to the two cost elements must be done at the end of the period. The first step adds up the costs of beginning inventory to the purchases for the period, and then the total is divided by the units of goods available for sale for the period. The resulting mathematical operation becomes the weighted average cost per unit, which is then multiplied by the units to obtain the cost of goods sold and the cost of ending inventory.
Operating activities: Multiple Choice Are the means organizations use to pay for resources like land, buildings and equipment. Involve using resources to research, develop, purchase, produce, distribute and market products and services. Involve acquiring and disposing of resources that a business uses to acquire and sell its products or services. Are also called asset management. Are also called strategic management.
Answer:
B. Involve using resources to research, develop, purchase, produce, distribute and market products and services.
Explanation:
A financial statement can be defined as a written report used by financial experts or accountants to quantitatively describes the financial health of a company. Under the financial statements is a cash-flow statement, which is used to record the cash inflow and cash equivalents leaving a business firm.
Cash flow statement, also known as the statement of cash flows, contains financial information about operating, financial and investing activities.
Operating activities in the statement of cash-flow of a business firm gives a detailed description of the out-flow and in-flow of cash from liabilities and current assets account. Thus, all the net income or cash from all operational business activities of a company is recorded as operating activities.
Hence, operating activities involve using resources to research, develop, purchase, produce, distribute and market products and services. Some examples of operating activities are cash paid as an expense for merchandise, cash revenue generated from the sales of finished goods etc.
In the last reporting period, Helena's Heavenly Fixture Company recorded 100,000 units sold for the first time in the history of the company. The price per unit was $89.99 and variable costs per unit at $36.39. Showing all work in the space provided, compute the contribution margin. Next, compute the fixed costs if the operating income is $4,020,000.
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
For the contribution margin
= Number of units sold × (Selling price - variable cost)
= 100,000 units × ($89.99 - $36.69)
= $5,360,000
Now the fixed cost is
= Contribution margin - operating income
= $5,360,000 - $4,020,000
= $1,340,000
hence, the same is to be relevant
Amy Monroe wants to create a fund today that will enable her to withdraw $25,000 per year for 8 years, with the first withdrawal to take place 5 years from today. If the fund earns 8% interest, how much must Amy invest today
Answer:
$114,047
Explanation:
We are required to find the amount to be Invested today (Present Value)
Summary of the Cashflows are :
Year 0 = $0
Year 1 = $0
Year 2 = $0
Year 3 = $0
Year 4 = $0
Year 5 = $25,000
Year 6 = $25,000
Year 7 = $25,000
Year 8 = $25,000
Year 9 = $25,000
Year 10 = $25,000
Year 10 = $25,000
Year 10 = $25,000
Manually
We can calculate the Net Present Value by discounting each individual payment at their appropriate period and adding up the totals to arrive at the Present Values.
PV = FV / ( 1 + R) ^ n
Where,
FV = the future cash flow stream ($25,000)
R = interest rate 8%
n = year (n = 5 for the first payment)
Financial Calculator
Alternatively we can calculate this using the CF Function of the Financial calculator as follows :
$ 0 = CFj
4 = Nj
$25,000 = CFj
8 = Nj
Shift NPV = $114,047

Quiznos revolutionized the sub sandwich business by introducing "oven roasted" versions of popular sandwiches through a process where the maker of the sandwich would put the sandwich in a conveyor that transported the sandwich through an oven and then on to an employee that assembled the sandwich with customer choice of toppings. Does Quiznos enjoy a sustainable competitive advantage?
Answer:
No
Explanation:
No, Quiznos was able to rise in popularity due to their "oven-roasted" sandwich versions which gave them a competitive advantage, but it is not a sustainable one. Other companies will begin to implement the same strategy/design into their franchises which will take that competitive advantage away from Quiznos. At that point, Quiznos will need to implement a new strategy or idea in order to gain another competitive advantage and increase sales.
Compute ending work in process inventory for a manufacturer with the following information.
Raw materials purchased_____________ $122,200
Direct materials used _________________82,600
Direct labor used_____________________ 55,000
Total factory overhead_______________ 108,300
Work in process inventory, beginning of year________ 29,200
Cost of goods manufactured__________ 234,000
Answer:
the ending work in process is $41,100
Explanation:
The computation of the ending work in process is given below:
= Direct material used + direct labor used + total manufacturing cost + opening work in process - cost of goods manufactured
= $82,600 + $55,000 + $108,300 + $29,200 - $234,000
= $41,100
Hence, the ending work in process is $41,100

A trading firm ABC, Inc. has been in continuous existence for the past 20 years. In the year 2004 it purchased 2000 baseball bats for $ 6 each and sold 1700 of these for $10 each. What was the profit or loss of the firm in 2004
Answer: $6,800
Explanation:
Profit (loss) = Revenue - Cost of goods sold
Cost of goods sold = Purchases - closing stock
= (2,000 * 6) - (300 * 6)
= $10,200
Total Revenue:
= 1,700 * 10
= $17,000
Profit = Revenue - cost of goods sold
= 17,000 - 10,200
= $6,800
(closing stock is 300 because 1,700 units were sold)
