Assume that there is an autonomous increase in investment spending of $20 billion and the MPC is given as 0.4, and assuming taxes, imports, and savings are all equal and no leakages:
Answer:
a. 1.67
b. $33.4 billion
c. A larger MPC
Explanation:
a. The Spending Multiplier is used to calculate how much an Economy increases as a result of an extra dollar being put into it and can be calculated by using the following formula;
= 1 / ( 1 - MPC)
= 1/ ( 1 - 0.4
= 1.67
b. Total Change in GDP = Amount invested * Spending Multiplier
= 20 * 1.67
= $33.4 billion.
c. An Economy is helped when it's GDP increases. A higher Marginal Propensity to Consume (MPC) will help it more in that case because from the formula, a larger MPC would reduce the divisor of 1 resulting in a larger Spending Multiplier which will increase the GDP more per dollar.
To explain further, the MPC measures how much of an extra dollar that people in the Economy spend, if the MPC is higher it means they spend more which will contribute to a rise in Consumption which is part of GDP.

Sufra Corporation is planning to sell 150,000 units for $2.90 per unit and will break even at this level of sales. Fixed expenses will be $93,000. What are the company's variable expenses per unit
Answer:
$2.28
Explanation:
Breakeven point is the number of units produced and sold at which net income is equal to zero.
Breakeven = F / P - V
F = fixed
P = price
V = variable cost
150,000 = $93,000 / $2.90 - V
Multiply both sides of the equation by $2.90 - V
= ($2.90 - V)150,000 = $93,000
$435,000 - 150,000V = $93,000
V = $2.28

Then the Cost driver rate is calculated for each Activity Center. Our question has provided these.
The final step is to allocate the overheads to a particular job using the cost driver rate.
A large company is accused of gender discrimination in wages. The following model has been estimated from the company's human resource information.
In (WAGE) = 1.439 + .0834 EDU + .0512 EXPER + .1932 MALE
Where WAGE is hourly wage, EDU is years of education. EXPER is years of relevant experience, and MALE indicates the employee is male How much more do men at the firm earn, on average?
a) $1.21 per hour more than females
b) 19.32% more than females
c) $19.32 per hour
d) $19, 320 more per year than females^2
Answer: b) 19.32% more than females
Explanation:
According to the model for calculating how wages are paid to employees, there is a .1932 coefficient attached to being a male employee. This means that 0.1932 (19.32% ) is added to an employees salary if they are males. This simply means that males are getting paid 19.32% more than other employees in the company which is this case are females.
Nabors Company reported the following current assets and liabilities for December 31 for two recent years: Dec. 31, Current Year Dec. 31, Previous Year Cash $1,430 $1,710 Temporary investments 3,120 3,840 Accounts receivable 7,150 2,610 Inventory 2,340 2,300 Accounts payable 6,500 5,100 Required: a. Compute the quick ratio on December 31 of both years. If required, round your answers to one decimal place. Quick Ratio December 31, current year December 31, previous year b. Is the quick ratio improving or declining?
Answer:
a. Quick ratio for current year =2.16
Quick ratio for current year =2.05
b. Improving
Explanation:
A.
To find quick ratios we need to divide current assets by current liabilities
Quick Ratio = [tex]\frac{currentasssets}{currentliabilities}[/tex]
Current assets Dec 31 current year Dec 31 previous year
Cash $1,430 $1,710
Temporary investment $3,120 $3,840
Accounts receivable $7,150 $2,610
Inventory $2,340 $2,300
Total current assets $14,040 $10,460
Current liability
Account payable $6,500 $5,100
Quick Ratio [tex]\frac{14040}{6500 }[/tex] [tex]\frac{10460}{5100}[/tex]
Quick Ratio 2.16 2.05
B.
As you can see above that in the previous year Nabors company had a quick ratio of 2.05 but it has slightly increased by 0.11 in the current year.
Answer:
Quick Ratio for the current year = 3.78
Quick Ratio for the previous year = 1.6
Explanation:
Nabors Company
Dec. 31, Current Year Dec. 31, Previous Year
Cash $1,430 $1,710
Temporary investments 3,120 3,840
Accounts receivable 7,150 2,610
Inventory 2,340 2,300
Accounts payable 6,500 5,100
Quick Ratio = Cash + Cash Equivalents + Accounts Receivables/ Accounts Payables
Quick Ratio for the current year = $ 1430+ 3120 + 7150/ 6500
= 24570/6500= 3.78
Quick Ratio for the previous year = $ 1710+ 3840 + 2610/ 5100
= 8160/5100= 1.6
A quick ratio less than 1.0 means that the current liabilities exceed the quick assets. a rule of thumb the quick ratio must have a value greater than 1.0 to conclude that the company is unlikely to face near term liquidity problems. . A value less than 1.0 raises the liquidity concerns unless the a company can generate enough cash from inventory sales or if much of its liabilities are not due until late in the next period.
Similarly a value greater than 1.0 can hide a liquidity problem if payable are due shortly and receivables are not collected late until next period.
It is improving.
Using a payoff matrix to determine the equilibrium outcome Suppose there are only two firms that sell Blu-ray players: Movietonia and Videotech. The following payoff matrix shows the profit (in millions of dollars) each company will earn, depending on whether it sets a high or low price for its players.
Videotech Pricing
High Low
Movietonia Pricing High 11, 11 2, 15
Low 15, 2 8, 8
For example, the lower-left cell shows that if Movietonia prices low and Videotech prices high, Movietonia will earn a profit of $15 million and Videotech will earn a profit of $3 million. Assume this is a simultaneous game and that Movietonia and Videotech are both profit-maximizing firms.
1. If the firms do not collude, what strategies will they end up choosing?
2. The game between Movietonia and Videotech is an example of the prisoners' dilemma.
a. true
b. false
Answer:
pricing low
yes
Explanation:
Game theory looks at the interactions between participants in a competitive game and calculates the best choice for the player.
Dominant strategy is the best option for a player regardless of what the other player is playing.
Nash equilibrium is the best outcome for players where no player has an incentive to change their decisions.
if either firm charges high, they either earn 11 million or 2 million.
if either firm charges low, it would earn either 15 million or 8 million.
because the payoffs of charging low is higher than the payoffs of charging high, the best strategy is for the firms to charge low if there is no cooperation.
the game is a prisoners dilemma because the choice the firms make isn't the choice that will yield the highest payoffs. the choice that would yield the highest payoffs is to both charge high prices.

Use the following information for Meeker Corp. to determine the amount of equity to report. Cash $ 72,000 Buildings 126,500 Land 208,600 Liabilities 131,500 A. $22,600. B. $275,600. C. $407,100. D. $538,600. E. $285,600.
Answer:
$276,500
Explanation:
The computation of the total equity is shown below;
As we know that
Accounting equation is
Total assets = Total liabilities + total stockholder equity
where,
Total assets is
= Cash + land + buildings
= $72,000 + $208,600 + $126,500
= $407,100
And, the total liabilities is $131,500
So, the total stockholder equity is
= $407,100 - $131,500
= $276,500
We simply applied the above formula
The cost of an asset is $ 1 comma 050 comma 000, and its residual value is $ 130 comma 000. Estimated useful life of the asset is ten years. Calculate depreciation for the second year using the doubleminusdecliningminusbalance method of depreciation. (Do not round any intermediate calculations, and round your final answer to the nearest dollar.)
Answer:
$168,000
Explanation:
Depreciation expense using the double declining method = Depreciation factor x cost of the asset
Depreciation factor = 2 x (1/useful life)
Depreciation factor = 2 x (1/10) = 0.2
depreciation expense in year 1 = 0.2 x $1,050,000 =$210,000
book value at the beginning of year 2 = $1,050,000 - $210,000 = $840,000
depreciation expense in year 2 = 0.2 x $840,000 = $168,000

You need to borrow money and you are considering two loans. The terms of the two loans are equivalent with the exception of the interest rates. Loan A offers a stated rate of 3.125% compounded monthly. Loan B offers a stated rate of 3.15% compounded semi-annually. What are the effective annual rates for the loans? Which one do you prefer
Answer:
For Loan A = 3.170%
For Loan B = 3.174%
Loan B has a higher effective annual rate.
Explanation:
The computation of effective annual rates for the loans is shown below:-
For Loan A
We will assume effective annual rate is a
Stated rate(r) = 3.125% compounded monthly
= Number of periods in an year n = 12
So,
(1 + a) = (1 + r ÷ n) × n
= a = (1+0.03125 ÷ 12) × 12 - 1
= 0.03170
or
= 3.170%
For Loan B
We will assume the effective annual rate is b
Stated rate (r) = 3.15% compounded semi annually
= Number of periods in an year n = 2
So
(1 + a) = (1 + r ÷ n) × n
= a = (1 + 0.0315 ÷ 2) × 2 - 1
= 0.03174
or
= 3.174%
From the above calculation we can see that Loan B, is greater than Loan A and has a higher effective annual rate.
A fire has destroyed a large percentage of the financial records of the Excandesco Company. You have the task of piecing together information in order to release a financial report. You have found the return on equity to be 14.9 percent. Sales were $1,750,000, the total debt ratio was .33, and total debt was $651,000.
What is the return on assets (ROA)? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) Return on assets __%
Answer:
10%
Explanation:
For computing the return on assets we have to do the following calculations:
As we know that
Total debt ratio = Total debt ÷ Total assets
0.33 = $651,000 ÷ Total assets
So,
Total assets = $1,972,727.27
Now the total equity is
Total assets = Total debt + Total Equity
$1,972,727.27 = $651,000 + Equity
So,
Equity = $1,321,727.27
Now
ROE = Net income ÷ Equity
0.1490 = Net income ÷ $1,321,727.27
Net income = $196,937
So,
ROA = Net income ÷ Total assets
= $196,937 ÷ $1,972,727.27
= 9.98%
= 10%
Oral Roberts Dental Supplies has annual sales of $5,625,000. 80% are on credit. The firm has $475,000 in accounts receivable. Compute the value of the average collection period.
Answer:
The answer is 38 days
Explanation:
The average collection period is the number of days it takes a company to convert its credit sales to cash
Average collection period = (account receivables/average credit sales) x 360 days
Credit sales = 80% of $5,625,000
=0.8 x $5,625,000
=$4,500,000.
Average collection period is therefore,
($475,000/$4,500,000) x 360 days
=0.10555556 x 360days
=38 days

First, we need to calculate the total overhead cost for order processing:
Wages and salaries= 0.3*420,000= 126,000
Depreciation= 0.25*170,000= 42,500
Occupancy= 0.45*190,000= 85,500
Total= $254,000
Now, using the following formula, we can determine the predetermined overhead rate:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Order processing= 254,000/300= $846.67 per order
_____ illuminates exactly what activities are associated with serving a particular customer and how these activities are linked to revenues and the consumption of resources.
Answer:
Activity based costing
Explanation:
Activity based costing is defined as a method of costing that identifies the activities involved in production in an organisation, and assign cost of the activity to the product.
It provides an objective way of assigning cost. Activities that contribute more to the production of a product will have a higher cost assigned to that product.
Manufacturing companies more accurately assign overhead cost to products.
For example machine hours can be used as a cost driver in the production process. The higher the machine hours of a process the higher the cost of that process assigned to the product.
