<span>The marginal propensity to consume is a metric
that quantifies the concept of increase in consumption with an increase in
income. Mathematically MPC is defined as:</span>
MPC = Change in consumption / Change in income
Purchase of goods and services is considered as
consumption, therefore:
Change in consumption = $16 billion
In the government’s perspective, taxes are
considered as income, therefore the problem ask us to find for the necessary change
in tax collection to maintain equilibrium GDP. Substituting the values in the
formula:
0.80 = $16 billion / Change in income
Change in income = $20 billion
<span>Therefore the government should increase the tax collection by $20
billion.</span>
Answer:
Favorable for price and unfavorable for usage.
Explanation:
Provided Information,
Standard Material = 2.2 pounds per unit
Standard cost = $2 per pound
Actual Quantity = 2.3 pounds per unit
Actual cost = $1.95 per pound
In Material Price variance we have = (Standard Price - Actual Price) 
Actual Quantity
Since Standard Price $2 is more than actual price = $1.95 the variance is favorable.
In material quantity variance we have = (Standard Quantity - Actual Quantity) Standard Rate
Since actual quantity used = 2.3 pounds is more than standard 2.2 pounds the variance will be unfavorable
Therefore, Price Variance = Favorable, and Quantity Variance = Unfavorable.
Answer:
The correct answer is Community swimming pools.
Explanation:
Taking into account the duties of public entities that are not susceptible of being assigned to individuals, within the three requests only that of community pools can be privatized due to the low relationship they have with the responsibilities of a public entity of this type.

Answer:
$23,000
Explanation:
current annual sales = 49,000 packs
Selling price of course packs = $14 each
variable cost per pack = $12
Earnings = $75,000
Contribution:
= current annual sales × (Selling price of course packs - variable cost per pack)
= 49,000 packs × ($14 - $12)
= 49,000 packs × $2
= $98,000
Fixed costs of producing the course packs:
= Contribution - Earnings
= $98,000 - $75,000
= $23,000
Answer:
$650,000
Explanation:
The computation of the expected net cash flow for the year 1 is shown below:
= Annual operating cost reduced + expected revenue generated per year in the year 1
= $250,000 + $400,000
= $650,000
By adding the annual operating cost, and the expected revenue generated we get the project expected net cash flow for the year 1
