The equilibrium level of real GDP in a country is $480 billion. Suppose that planned investment decreases by $5 billion. This decrease causes real GDP to shift to a new equilibrium level of $470 billion.
A. What will be the size of the spending multiplier for this country?
B. What is the marginal propensity to save (MPS) for this country?

Answer:

A. Spending multiplier for this country = 2

B. Marginal propensity to save (MPS) for this country = 0.5

Explanation:

A. What will be the size of the spending multiplier for this country?

This can be calculated as follows:

Change in real GDP = New real GDP – Old real GDP = $470 billion - $480 billion = -$10 billion

Change in planned investment = -$5 billion

Marginal propensity to spend = Change in planned investment / Change in real GDP = -$5 billion / -$10 billion = 0.5

Spending multiplier for this country = 1 / (1 - Marginal propensity to spend) = 1 / (1 – 0.5) = 1 / 0.5 = 2

B. What is the marginal propensity to save (MPS) for this country?

This can be calculated as follows:

Marginal propensity to save (MPS) = 1 - Marginal propensity to spend

Marginal propensity to save (MPS) = 1 – 0.5

Marginal propensity to save (MPS) = 0.5

The spending multiplier for the country would be 2.

The marginal propensity to save (MPS) for the country would be 0.5

The spending multiplier would be derived after the computation of marginal propensity to spend.

Here, Change in planned investment would be divided by Change in real GDP, that is,

[tex]\frac{-5}{470-480} \\=0.5[/tex]

Therefore, the spending multiplier would be;

[tex]\frac{1}{1-MPS}\\ \frac{1}{1-0.5} \\=2[/tex]

[tex]1-MPS\\=1-0.5\\=0.5[/tex]

A company currently using an inspection process in its material receiving department is trying to install an overall cost reduction program. One possible reduction is the elimination of one inspection position. This position test material has a defective content on the average of 0.04. By inspecting all items, the inspector is able to remove all defects. The inspector can inspect 50 units per hour. The hourly rate including fringe benefits for this position is $9. If the inspection position is eliminated, defects will go into product assembly and will have to be replaced later at a cost of $10 each when they are detected in final product testing.

Required:
a. If the inspector position is eliminated, what will the hourly cost of defects be?
b. Should this inspection position be eliminated?
c. What is the cost to inspect each unit?
d. Is there benefit (or loss) from the current inspection process? How much?

Adams Company has two products: A and B. The annual production and sales of Product A is 2,300 units and of Product B is 1,700 units. The company has traditionally used direct labor-hours as the basis for applying all manufacturing overhead to products. Product A requires 0.3 direct labor-hours per unit and Product B requires 0.6 direct labor-hours per unit. The total estimated overhead for next period is $105,475.
The company is considering switching to an activity-based costing system for the purpose of computing unit product costs for external reports. The new activity-based costing system would have three overhead activity cost pools--Activity 1, Activity 2, and General Factory--with estimated overhead costs and expected activity as follows:
Total Estimated
Overhead
Costs Expected Activity
Product A Product B Total
Activity 1 $32,592 1,600 1,200 2,800
Activity 2 18,564 2,300 800 3,100
General Factory54,319 690 1,020 1,710
Total $105,475
(Note: The General Factory activity cost pool's costs are allocated on the basis of direct labor-hours.)
The overhead cost per unit of Product B under the traditional costing system is closest to:________.
a. $20.30
