Answer:
$0
Explanation:
The net income is the difference between the sales and total cost which comprises of the variable cost and fixed cost. The sales and variable cost are dependent on the number of units sold.
Let
u = number of units
s = selling price per unit
v = variable cost per unit
F = Fixed cost
I = Net income
I = su - F - vu
but vu = 0.3su
Hence
I = su - 0.3su - F = 0.7su - F
Given that the proposal will increase sales by $12,000,
New sales = su + 12000 ( in $)
and total fixed costs by $8,400
New fixed cost = F + 8400
New variable cost = 0.3( su + 12000) = 0.3su + 3600
New net income = su + 12000 - 0.3su - 3600 - F - 8400
= 0.7su - F
New net income is same as the old net income hence no increase.
Answer: a) -A tax cut
-Additional spending on national park facilities
b) Expansionary fiscal policy
Explanation:
Fiscal Policy refers to how the government of a country is using it's spending and taxes to influence Economic conditions on a Macro level.
The keywords for this question are TAXES and SPENDING.
The means that a Discretionary FISCAL policy includes Taxes and Spending.
Now the way to close the Recessionary gap that is opening is to put more money into the Economy. The Government can do this by REDUCING TAXES which will means people have more money to spend and ADDITIONAL SPENDING on NATIONAL PARK FACILITIES as this means that the government is pumping more money into the Economy.
The discretionary fiscal policy needed to bring the economy closer to potential output is an example of an EXPANSIONARY FISCAL POLICY.
This is where the Government aims to put more money into the economy so that growth can be acheived and they do this by lowering taxes and increasing spending either singularly or simultaneously.
Answer:
Portfolio A and Portfolio B
Explanation:
In this question, we apply the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) formula which is shown below
Expected rate of return = Risk-free rate of return + Beta × (Market rate of return - Risk-free rate of return)
The Market rate of return - Risk-free rate of return) = Market risk premium
Let us assume the market risk premium be X
For Portfolio A:
21% = 8% + 1.3 × X
13% = 1.3 × X
So, the X = 10%
For Portfolio B:
17% = 8% + 0.7 × X
9% = 0.7 × X
So, the X = 12.86%
Based on the market risk premium calculations, we can conclude that Portfolio A should be in short position while Portfolio B should be in long position as portfolio B has higher market risk premium than B
Answer:
(A) Payback period for the machine= 3.5 years
(B) Simple rate of return for the machine= 87.5%
Explanation:
Alesu corporation is considering purchasing a machine that would cost $283,850
The useful life is 5 years
The machine would reduce cash operating costs by $81,100 per year
The salvage value is $107,100
(A) The payback period for the machine can be calculated as follows
= cost/amount of cash flow
= 283,850/81,100
= 3.5 years
(B) The simple rate of return for the machine can be calculated as follows
First we calculate the depreciation expense
= 283,850-107,100/5
= 176,750/5
= 35,350
Annual incremental income= cost savings -depreciation expenses
= 283,850-35,350
= 248,500
Simple rate of return = annual incremental income/cost × 100
= 248,500/283,850 × 100
= 0.875 × 100
= 87.5%
