Consider a hypothetical closed economy in which households spend $0.65 of each additional dollar they earn and save the remaining $0.35. The marginal propensity to consume (MPC) for this economy is , and the spending multiplier for this economy is .
Answer:
Marginal propensity to consume or MPC = 0.65
Multiplier or k = 2.85714 rounded off to 2.86
Explanation:
The marginal propensity to consume (MPC) is the proportion of increased disposable income that consumers spend. It is a metric to quantify the induced consumption and how an increase in consumer spending occurs as a result of increase in income.
MPC is calculated as follows,
MPC = Change in consumer spending / change in income
MPC = 0.65 / 1
MPC = 0.65
To calculate the multiplier, we simply use the following formula,
Multiplier or k = 1 / (1 - MPC)
k = 1 / (1 - 0.65)
k = 2.85714 rounded off to 2.86
The marginal propensity to consume is a measure in economics that quantifies induced consumption, or the idea that private expenditure grows in tandem with disposable income.
The spending power is the amount of expendable cash spent on consumption by individuals.
The answers to the questions in the context are:
Marginal propensity to consume or MPC = 0.65
Multiplier or k = 2.85714 rounded off to 2.86
The proportion of extra discretionary income spent by the customer is defined as the level of consumption (MPC).
It's a statistic for measuring induced consumption, or how an increase in consumer spending occurs as a result of an increase in income.
MPC is calculated as follows,
MPC = [tex]\frac{\text{Change in consumer spending}}{\text{change in income}}[/tex]
MPC = 0.65 / 1
MPC = 0.65
To calculate the multiplier:
Multiplier or k = [tex]\frac{1}{1-MPC}[/tex]
k = [tex]\frac{1}{1-0.65}[/tex]
k = 2.85714 rounded off to 2.86
Therefore,
Marginal propensity to consume or MPC = 0.65
Multiplier or k = 2.85714 rounded off to 2.86

You have just joined the project management office after five years of working on projects. One of the things you want to introduce to your company is the need to create and utilize WBSs. Some of the project managers are angry that you are asking them to do "extra work". Which of the following would be the BEST thing you could tell the project managers to convince them to use WBSs?a. Tell them that it is not needed b. Tell them it is required only if the project involves contracts. c. Tell them it is the only way to identify risks. d. Tell them it will prevent work from slipping through the cracks
Answer: d. Tell them it will prevent work from slipping through the cracks
Explanation:
Work Breakdown Structures work to make a large and by extension all projects more manageable by dividing it into different portions that will then be managed individually to ensure that they are accomplished.
With different portions, various team members can be assigned to them which will lead to greater work efficiency as work is done simultaneously on a project.
Due to this division of the project and the micro-management that comes with it, tasks can be better monitored meaning that there will be less chances of work slipping through the cracks because all tasks will be assigned to different portions of the project and can therefore be traced easily and their completion will form part of the completion of a portion.
On the first day of the fiscal year, a company issues a $8,800,000, 7%, 10-year bond that pays semiannual interest of $308,000 ($8,800,000 × 7% × ½), receiving cash of $7,655,303. Required:Journalize the first interest payment and the amortization of the related bond discount.
Answer and Explanation:
The journal entry is shown below:
Interest expense $403,391
To Cash $308,000
To Discount on note payable $95,391
{($8,800,000 - $7,655,303) ÷ 12}
Here we debited the interest expense as it increased the expenses and credited the cash as it decreased the assets and credited the discount on note payable
A customer opens a new margin account with the following position:
Long: 1,000 XYZ Cmn
Mkt Value: $20,000
Debit: $10,000
If the market value rises to $22,000, how much SMA is created?
Answer:
$1,000
Explanation:
The above means that for every $1 increase in the market value in a long margin account, the SMA increases by $0.50
If the market value rises to $22,000, the account will show
Long market value - Debit = Equity % SMA
$22,000 - $10,000 = $12,000
Against $22,00 of market value, 50% can be borrowed or $11,000. Since the debit is $10,000, an additional $1,000 can be borrowed . This is the SMA

Net sales for the year were $1,050,000 and cost of goods sold was $735,000 for the company’s existing products. A new product is presently under development and will have an expected selling price of not more than $68 per unit in order to remain competitive with similar products in the marketplace. Required: a. Calculate gross profit and the gross profit ratio for the year.
Answer:
The answer is:
Gross profit is $315,000
Gross profit ratio is 30 percent
Explanation:
Gross profit equals net sales minus cost of sales
Net sales - $1,050,000
Cost of sales - ($735,000)
Gross profit -. $315,000
Gross profit ratio is:
(Gross profit / net sales) x 100 percent
($315,000 / $1,050,000) x 100 percent
0.3 x 100 percent
30 percent.
So we have:
Gross profit is $315,000
Gross profit ratio is 30 percent
A seller did not submit testing information required in the contract to the buyer, and the project manager did not notice it was not received. After four weeks, the company head asked for the testing information and found out it was not received. The project manager then asked the seller to send the information. The seller argued, "You did not receive the testing reports for four weeks, and you did not say anything. You have therefore waived your rights to ever get them". The seller refused to give the reports without a change to the contract and additional payment. The issue went to court of law to resolve. What do you think was the court's decision? Post what you believe the decision was in this forum post. After posting, review and comment on at least one of your colleagues post. Be sure that you answer any questions that someone else might have made on your post. NOTE: You will not be able to see any other responses until you post your own.
Answer:
Since the testing information is a requirement of the contract, the buyer has the right to request for it accordingly and the seller should not refuse unless fraud is implied. The contract does not specify when a waiver of the right to the testing information should become effective.
The court of law should decide in favor of the buyer's right to receive the testing information from the seller.
Explanation:
Contract terms are agreements and promises that must be followed because they are made for consideration to be given and received. If a contract for the sale of goods includes the submission of some information, this later requirement forms part of the contract and exchange of promises for consideration, and they must be respected and fulfilled, unless there is additional agreement specifying some deadline within which the right to such testing information is waived.

Your auto dealer gives you the choice to pay $15,500 cash now, or make three payments: $8,200 now, $4,200 in one year and $3,200 in two years. If your cost of money (discount rate) is 7.25%, what is the PV of the installment plan?
Answer:
The answer is $14,898.07
Explanation:
Assume that the cost of money (discount rate) of 7.25% is on annual basis.
Present value (PV) of the installment plan is:
PV = Down payment + PV(first installment) + PV(second installment)
= $8,200 + $4,200 / (1 + 7.25%) + $3,200 / (1 + 7.25%)^2 = $14,898.07
Obviously, the three payments option is more lucrative than the 100% down payment one.
he beginning share price for a security over a three-year period was $50. Subsequent year-end prices were $62, $58 and $64. The arithmetic average annual rate of return and the geometric average annual rate of return for this stock were:
Answer:
Arithmetic average rate of return = 9.30%
geometric average annual rate of return = 8.58%
Explanation:
share price at the beginning = $50
time = 3 year
price at the end of year 1 = $62
price at the end of year 2 = $58
price at the end of year 3 = $64
Annual rate of return in year 1 = ($62 / $50 - 1) x 100 = 24%
Annual rate of return in year 2 = ($58 / $62 - 1) x 100 = -6.45%
Annual rate of return in year 3 = \($64 / $58 - 1) x 100 = 10.34%
Arithmetic average rate of return = sum of annual rate of return / 3
Arithmetic average rate of return = (24% + -6.45% + 10.34%) / 3
Arithmetic average rate of return = 9.30%
geometric average annual rate of return = { (1 + r1) x (1 + r2) x (1 + r3) }^1/3 - 1
= (1.24) x (0.9355) x (1.1034)^1/3 - 1 = 8.58%
Your Competitive Intelligence team is predicting that the Digby Company will invest in adding capacity to their Deal product this year. Assume Digby's product Deal invests in increasing its capacity by 10% this year. Because of this new information, your company anticipates all other products in the Core segment will increase their capacity by the same amount. How much can the industry produce in the Core segment the next year
Answer:
13,288
Explanation:
The computation of the amount that industry produced in the core segment is shown below:
It can be determined in two ways i.e.
= 6,444 + 6,444
= 13,288
And, the other method is
= 6,444 × 2
= 13,288
In both the methods, the answer would remain the same
Hence, the 13,288 should be produced by the industry for the next year production
Inventory at the end of April, 2008: 200 unitsExpected demand during April, 2008: 50 unitsProduction expected during April, 2008: 100 unitsWhat was the inventory at the end of March 2008?
Answer:
beginning inventory= 150 units
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Endiing inventory= 200 units
Sales= 50 units
Production= 100
To calculate the beginning inventory, we need to use the following formula:
Production= sales + ending inventory - beginning inventory
100= 50 + 200 - beginning inventory
beginning inventory= 250 - 100
beginning inventory= 150 units

Suppose the real interest rate is 2.8%, and the inflation rate is 7%. (1) How much do you need to invest now in order to get $100 in a year? Please show two approaches to calculate the answers. (Round your final answer to two decimal places) (2) Suppose the U.S. Treasury issues 5% coupon, 3-year TIPS (Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities). What are the real cash flows on the 3-year TIPS each year? What are the nominal cash flows on the 3-years TIPS each year? (Round your final answers to two decimal places)
Answer:
1)
approach 1, using the approximate real and nominal interest rates:
nominal interest rate = real interest rate + inflation rate = 2.8% + 7% = 9.8%
present value = $100 / (1 + 9.8%) = $91.07
approach 2, using the exact real and nominal interest rates:
(1 + i) = (1 + r) × (1 + π)
(1 + i) = (1 + 2.8%) x (1 + 7%) = 1.09996
i = 1.09996 - 1 = 0.09996 = 9.996%
present value = $100 / (1 + 9.996%) = $90.91
2)
assuming a $1,000 TIPS, nominal cash flow year 1 = $50
new face value = $1,070
nominal cash flow year 2 = $53.50
new face value = $1,144.90
nominal cash flows year 3 = $57.25 + ($1,144.90 x 1.07) = $1,282.29
assuming a $1,000 TIPS, real cash flow year 1 = $50 / 1.07 = $46.73
new face value = $1,070
real cash flow year 2 = $53.50 / 1.07² = $46.73
new face value = $1,144.90
real cash flows year 3 = [$57.25 + ($1,144.90 x 1.07)] / 1.07³ = $1,282.29 / 1.07³ = $1,046.73
Poseidon Marine Stores Company manufactures special metallic materials and decorative fittings for luxury yachts that require highly skilled labor. Poseidon uses standard costs to prepare its flexible budget. For the first quarter of the year, direct materials and direct labor standards for one of their popular products were as follows:
Direct materials: pounds per unit; per pound
Direct labor: hours per unit; per hour
Poseidon produced units during the quarter. At the end of the quarter, an examination of the labor costs records showed that the direct labor cost variance was F. Which of the following is a logical explanation for this variance?
A. The company paid a lower cost for the direct materials than allowed by the standards.
B. The company used a lower quantity of direct materials than allowed by the standards.
C. The company paid a lower cost per hour for labor than allowed by the standards.
D. The company used fewer labor hours than allowed by the standards,
Answer:
The company paid a lower cost per hour for labor than allowed by the standards.
Explanation:
The labour cost variance is the difference between the standard labour cost allowed for the actual hours worked and the actual labor cost for the same hours
The labour cost variance compares the actual cost and the standard cost for the actual labour hours paid for.

Next week, Mortimer is preparing to go to work for the Illinois department of Child Services. He was surprised when his friends told him that he was going to have to pay one percent of his salary to the union that represents the unionized workers that would include Mortimer, whether he joined the union or not - a so-called agency fee to prevent 'free riders'. This was for services provided to Mortimer, including collective bargaining and grievance representation. Mortimer was shocked - no one had told him about this! What advice would you provide to Mortimer?
Answer:
The implication is that the Illinois Department of Child Services is a unionized workplace.
Mortimer will derive better benefits that surpass the costs of membership. He is covered in all collective bargains, even when he resigns his union membership. Unions negotiate for better working conditions, higher pays, and improved benefits.
When Mortimer has any grievance against the department, the union will also represent him, thereby making his life easier since unions can negotiate better with employers than individual workers.
Mortimer is even lucky to find a job at a unionized workplace because the jobs are not usually advertised as union members easily bring in their relatives and friends to occupy such vacancies.
Explanation:
Most of the disadvantages that Mortimer should complain about unions are disadvantages to the employer and not to him as an individual worker. For the employer, the union acts as a form of monopoly that can decide whether the workers would work or not. The unionized workers are not easy to replace with other workers.

D) 5.07%
E) 8.60%
Answer:
5.07%
Explanation:
Given the following parameters from the question:
Number of years = 5
N => Number of compounding periods = 5 * 2 = 10
FV => Face Value = $5,000
PV => Present Value = $4876
Percentage rate = 4.5%
PMT => Annuity Payment = Face Value * percentage
=> 5,000 * 0.045 = 225
Given that, it is semi annual rate, we have 225 / 2 = 112.5
CPT YTM or I/Y => Yield to Maturity = 2.53 * 2 = 5.07%
Hence, the final answer is 5.07%
