Answer:
1. Aggregate output demanded is $500 billion. True.
Aggregate Demand (Y) = C + G + I
Y = 40+0.9∗DI + 80 + 20
Y = 40 + 0.9 ∗ (Y−100) + 80 + 20
Y = 50 + 0.9Y
0.1Y = 50
Y = $500 billion
2. Suppose the government decides to increase spending by $10 billion without raising taxes. Because the expenditure multiplier is 10. True.
Expenditure Multiplier = 1 / ( 1 - Marginal Propensity to Consume)
Marginal Propensity to Consume = 0.9 as per the Consumption function.
= 1/ ( 1 - 0.9)
= 10
2. b. this will increase the economy's aggregate output demanded by $100 billion. True.
Change in Aggregate output = Increase in government expenditure * expenditure multiplier
= 10 billion * 10
= $100 billion
3. ... In this case, the economy's aggregate output demanded is $500 billion . True.
Aggregate Demand (Y) = C + G + I
Y = 40+0.9∗DI + 80 + 20
Y = 40 + 0.9 ∗ (0.80∗Y) + 80 + 20
Y = 140 + 0.72Y
0.28Y = 140
Y = $500 billion
4. Given an income tax of 20%, the expenditure multiplier is approximately 3.6. True.
As a result of the new tax, the MPC will become;
= 0.9 * ( 0.80 * Y)
= 0.72Y.
Expenditure Multiplier = 1 / ( 1 - Marginal Propensity to Consume)
= 1/ ( 1 - 0.72)
= 3.57
= 3.6
4. b. Therefore, if the government decides to increase spending by $10 billion without raising tax rates, this would increase the economy's aggregate output demanded by approximately $36 billion. True.
Change in Aggregate output = Increase in government expenditure * expenditure multiplier
= 10 billion * 3.6
= $36 billion
5. A $10 billion increase in government purchases will have a larger effect on output under a fixed tax of $100 billion. True.
When the tax was fixed, an increase in Government purchases of $10 billion resulted in an increase in Aggregate output of $100 billion. When the Government switched to income taxes however, a $10 billion increase in Government spending led to a significantly lesser increase in Aggregate output of $36 billion.
Little Tots Gym has a required rate of return of 13%. The gym is considering the purchase of $12,500 of new equipment. The internal rate of return on the project has been calculated to be 11%. This project:________
Answer:
This project is good and be should be accepted for implementation.
Explanation:
The IRR is the discount rate that equates the present value of cash inflows to that of cash outflows. At the IRR, the Net Present Value (NPV) of a project is equal to zero
If the IRR greater than the required rate of return , we accept the project for implementation
If the IRR is less than that the required rate , we reject the project for implementation
For Little Tots Gym, the IRR of the project (13%) is higher than the required rate of return of 11%, hence the project is good and be should be accepted for implementation
Production possibilities frontiers are usually bowed outward. This is because a. resources are specialized; that is, some are better at producing particular goods rather than other goods. b. of the effects of technological change. c. the opportunity cost of producing a good decreases as more and more of that good is produced. d. the more resources a society uses to produce one good, the fewer resources it has available to produce another good.
Answer:
d. the more resources a society uses to produce one good, the fewer resources it has available to produce another good.
Explanation:
The Production possibilities frontiers is a curve that shows the various combination of two goods a company can produce when all of its resources are fully utilised.
As more quantities of a product is produced, the fewer resources it has available to produce another good. As a result less of the other product would be produced. So, the opportunity cost of producing a good increases as more and more of that good is produced.
Please check the attached image for a diagram of the Production possibilities frontiers

Becker Industries is considering an all equity capital structure against one with both debt and equity. The all equity capital structure would consist of 30,000 shares of stock. The debt and equity option would consist of 15,000 shares of stock plus $255,000 of debt with an interest rate of 8 percent. What is the break-even level of earnings before interest and taxes between these two options
Answer:
The break-even level of earnings before interest and taxes is $47,200
Explanation:
EBIT = Earnings before interest and taxes
EPS = Earnings per share
I = interest
n = number of equity shares
n1, n2 = number of equity shares outstanding after adopting financing plans 1 and 2
n1=30,000
n2= 15,000
Break-even EBIT level is the indifferent point where EPS under alternative financing plan is the same.
Mathematically, the break-even EBIT level is: EBIT/ n1 = (EBIT - I ) / n2
EBIT/30,000 =(EBIT -295,000 x 8%/ 15,000)
EBIT/2 = EBIT - 23,600
2*EBIT - 23,600 x 2 = EBIT
2EBIT - EBIT= 47,200
EBIT= $47,200
Martin and Sons (M and S) currently is an all equity firm with 64,000 shares of stock outstanding at a market price of $25 a share. The company's earnings before interest and taxes are $86,000. M and S has decided to add leverage to their financial operations by issuing $480,000 of debt with a 7% percent interest rate. This $480,000 will be used to repurchase shares of stock. You own 2,700 shares of M and S stock. You also loan out funds at a 7% percent rate of interest. How many of your shares of stock in M and S must you sell to offset the leverage that the firm is assuming
Answer:
810 stocks
Explanation:
M and S can repurchase $480,000 / $25 = 19,200 stocks
the number of shares that you need to sell to offset the firm's leverage = total amount of stocks that you own x (total stocks repurchased / total stocks outstanding before buyback) = 2,700 x (19,200 / 64,000) = 2,700 x 0.3 = 810 stocks
Since your goal is to offset the firm's new leverage, you have to sell a proportional amount of your stocks compared to the whole repurchase transaction.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported the CPI stood at 215.9 in December 2009, while one year earlier it was 210.2. Suppose Janice's nominal income rose by 4% from December 2008 to December 2009 while Jeff's increased by only 2%. By what percentage did each of their real incomes change?
Answer:
Annual rate of inflation = [(215.9 - 210.2) / 210.2] * 100
Annual rate of inflation = 2.7%
Real income change = Nominal income change - inflation rate
Janice Real income change = 4% – 2.7%
Janice Real income change = 1.3%
This means Janice's real income did increase by 1.3%.
Jeff Real income change = 2% – 2.7%
Jeff Real income change = -0.7%
This means Jeff's real income did decrease by 0.7%.

Mason Company paid its annual property taxes of $240,000 on February 15, 20X9. Mason also anticipates that its annual repairs expense for 20X9 will be $1,200,000. This amount is usually incurred and paid in July and August when operations are shut down so that machinery and equipment can be repaired. What amount should Mason deduct for property taxes and repairs in each quarter for 20X9?
Answer:
$360,000 per quarter
Explanation:
we must allocate both property taxes and annual repairs expenses equally to each quarter:
total payments = property taxes + annual repairs = $240,000 + $1,200,000 = $1,440,000
allocation to each quarter = $1,440,000 / 4 quarters = $360,000 per quarter
Accrual accounting states that expenses must be recorded when they occur and not necessarily when they are associated with a cash outflow. Since both payments involve the whole year, they must be distributed equally in all 4 quarters.
