Answer:

MPC = 0.7

MPS = 0.3

APC before the increase in disposable income = 0.875

APC after the increase in disposable income = 0.859

Explanation:

Given that,

Disposable income = $800 billion

Consumption = $700 billion

Savings = $100 billion

Further,

Disposable income increases by $80 billion

Consumption rises by $56 billion

Saving goes up by $24 billion

Therefore,

Marginal propensity to consume(MPC):

= Change in consumption level ÷ Change in disposable income

= $56 billion ÷ $80 billion

= 0.7

So, Marginal propensity to save = 1 - MPC

                                                      = 1 - 0.7

                                                      = 0.3

Average propensity to consume(Before increase in disposable income):

= Consumption ÷ Disposable income

= $700 billion ÷ $800 billion

= 0.875

Average propensity to consume(After increase in disposable income):

= Consumption ÷ Disposable income

= ($700 + $56) billion ÷ ($800 + $80) billion

= $756 billion ÷ $880

= 0.859

Complete the balance sheet and sales information in the table that follows for J. White
deff fn [24]

Answer:

Sales $600,000

Cost of Goods Sold $450,000

Cash $28,000

Accounts payable $110,000

Accounts receivable $60,000

Inventory $120,000

Common Stock $140,000

Fixed Asset $192,000

Total Liabilities and equity $400,000

Explanation:

1.To compute the missing amount of sales, we must look for the data given that has something to do with sales. And the two data given that will give us the hint are the Asset turnover and the total asset.

ASSET TURNOVER = Net Sales / Total Asset

1.5 = Net Sales * $400,000

Net Sales = 1.5 * $400,000

Net Sales = $600,000

To check if the answer is correct:

$600,000 / $400,000 = 1.5 <em>which is equal to the data given</em>

<em />

2. The Sales has been computed above and Gross profit margin on sales is present, these are the hint we needed to compute the Cost of goods sold.

Sales  100%

<u>Less: Gross profit margin on sales 25%</u>

Cost of goods sold ratio on sales 75%

Therefore, $600,000 x 75% (ratio on sales) = $450,000

3.ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

It is impossible to compute the cash based on the data given without the accounts receivable. So, let's compute the accounts receivable beforehand.

The additional hint that we have is the Days sales outstanding (based on 365-day year).

  • Days sales outstanding = Accounts receivable / (Annual credit sales / 365 days)
  • 36.5 days = Accounts receivable / ($600,000 / 365)
  • Accounts receivable = 36.5 * ($600,000 / 365)
  • Accounts receivable = $60,000

<em>To check our answer:</em>

<em>$60,000 / ($600,000 / 365)</em>

<em>$60,000 / 1,643.84</em>

<em>36.5 days</em>

<em />

4. ACCOUNTS PAYABLE

Next missing item that we will compute is the accounts payable. The hint that we have that is related to the computation of accounts payable is the Liability to asset ratio.

FORMULA :

Liability to asset ratio = Total Liabilities / Total Assets

40% = Total Liabilities / $400,000

Total Liabilities = 40% * $400,000

Total liabilities = $160,000

To Check:

<em>$160,000 / $400,000 = 40% which is equal to the data given</em>

<em>Next Step, Compute accounts payable (the only current liability account in the given partial income statement). Long term debt is the only non-current liability on the data given, which means it is the only account that is included in the total liability of $160,000.</em>

<em />

So, $160,000 less $50,000 = $110,000 (accounts payable)

5. CASH

We can now compute the cash based on the accounts already computed above. The additional hint that we have is the quick ratio. Quick ratio is the quotient of Cash & cash equivalent plus Marketable securities (which is not present in the data given, therefore ignore) plus the accounts receivable over the current liability.

Computation:

0.80 = (Cash + Marketable security + Accounts receivable) / current liability

0.80 = (Cash + Accounts receivable) / $110,000

Cash + Accounts receivable = 0.80 * $110,000

Cash + Accounts receivable = 88,000

Cash + $60,000 = $88,000

Cash = $88,000 - $60,000

Cash = $28,000

6. INVENTORY

To compute the inventory, we need the inventory turn-over hint.

Inventory turn-over = Cost of goods sold / Average inventory

3.75 = $450,000 / Ave inventory

Average inventory = $450,000 / 3.75

Average inventory = $120,000

to check:

<em>$450,000 / $120,000 = 3.75 which is equal to the data given</em>

<em />

7. COMMON STOCK

Total asset = Liabilities + Equity

$400,000 = $160,000 +?

$400,000 - $160,000 = $240,000

Equity is composed of common stock and retained earnings. Therefore, $240,000 - $100,000 (Retained earnings) = $140,000 (common stock)

8. FIXED ASSET

It is the only asset account that is missing after we computed cash, accounts receivable and inventory. Therefore total assets less current assets equals fixed assets.

  • $400,000 - ($28,000 + $60,000 + $120,000)
  • $400,000 - $208,000
  • $192,000 (fixed assets)

9. TOTAL LIABILITIES AND EQUITY

Current liability + Non-current liability + Common stock + Retained earnings

$110,000 + $50,000 + $140,000 + $100,000

$400,000

Borrowed 152300 for three years if the qouted rate (apr) is 11.75% and the compounding is daily what is the effective annual rat
Vikki [24]

Answer:

The appropriate response is "12.47%".

Explanation:

The given values are:

Borrowed amount,

= 152300

APR,

= 11.75%

i.e.,

= 0.1175

Now,

The effective annual rate will be:

= (\frac{1+APR}{n} )^n

On substituting the given values, we get

= (\frac{1+0.1175}{365} )^{365}

= (\frac{1.1175}{365} )^{365}

= 1.12466-1

= 0.1247 \ or \ 12.47 \ percent

Sabrina Duncan had gross earnings for the pay period ending 10/15/16 of $5,835. Her total gross earnings as of 9/30/16 were $104
ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

option (A) $212.97

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Gross earnings for the pay period ending 10/15/16 = $5,835

Total gross earnings as of 9/30/16 = $104,400

Social Security tax rate = 6.2%

Now,

Total earnings

= Gross earnings for the pay period ending 10/15/16 + Total gross earnings as of 9/30/16

=  $5,835 + $104,400

= $110,235

since,The Social Security taxes are on a maximum earnings of $106,800 per year

therefore,

Sabrina's Social Security withheld from her 10/15/16 paycheck will be

= ( Total earnings - $106,800 ) × Social Security tax rate

= ( $110,235 - $106,800 ) × 0.062

= $3,435 × 0.062

= $212.97

Hence,

The answer is option (A) $212.97

madam [21]

Answer:

The correct answer is C. firm to the environment.

Explanation:

Currently, when a company begins its usual operations and the one that it will play day by day throughout its existence, it cannot leave aside knowing the role of its company, the environment in which it develops its function as a company or its operation with the environment , and it is essential that the company meets the social responsibility to which it is obliged.

It should always be taken into consideration that the life of the human being is greatly influenced and affected by the environment that surrounds it, so that the proper development and even its survival, depends entirely on the relationship between the company and The environment around us. And as with a coin, which has two sides, exactly the same thing happens between business and environment relationships, since on the one hand our environment provides us with the energy and resources we need to take advantage of them in Our business operations.

While on the other hand, man is also exposed to the possible aggressions that occur in the environment, as in the case of floods, pests, diseases, inclement weather or deprivation of resources, between others. The problem with this is that in our current society, the more it produces the more resources are needed, and the more it consumes the more waste and garbage is generated.
