Wendy claims that the right mix of hamburgers and other goods is being produced, but that they are not being produced in the least costly way. Economist assess it in the way of allocative efficiency as well as the productive efficiency.

According to Wendy, allocative efficiency is achieved because the right mix of hamburger is produced, but at the same time  productive efficiency is not achieved because the production is not utilizing cheapest possible means of producing the goods.

Allocative efficiency occurs when  the consumer demand is completely met by the  supply. In the other words, businesses are providing the exact supply which the  consumers want.

Allocative efficiency occurs from the producers side as well as the consumers side. This happens when the demand is fully met, and production is optimized until marginal costs = marginal revenue . It means that no more profits are made.

Productive efficiency occurs when the businesses focuses on producing a good at the lowest possible cost.

The question is incomplete. The complete question is stated below.

If the marginal propensity to consume is equal to 0.85, then a $500 increase in disposable income leads to a:

a. $400 increase in consumption spending

b. $75 increase in consumption spending

c. $425 increase in personal saving

d. $75 increase in personal saving

Answer:

If a $500 increase causes an increase of $425 in consumer spending, the rest of $75 is the increase in personal saving. Thus, option D is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The marginal propensity to consume or MPC is the percentage of the additional income that will be used for consumption spending. It is a concept that is used to calculate how much of an increase in income will be used in consumption and saving. The formula to calculate MPC is,

MPC = Change in consumer spending / Change in income

0.85 = Change in consumer spending / 500

500 * 0.85 = Change in consumer spending

Change in consumer spending = $425

If a $500 increase causes an increase of $425 in consumer spending, the rest of $75 is the increase in personal saving.

Dr Depreciation Expense $8,000

Cr Accumulated Depreciation $8,000

($40,000/5 years)

a2. Computation of the book value at the end of the second year of the equipment's life.

First step is to calculate the First year Book value

First year Book value=$40,000/5 years

First year Book value=$8,000

Second step is to calculate the Second year Book value

Second year Book value=($40,000+$40,000)/5 years

Second year Book value=$80,000/5 years

Second year Book value=$16,000

Now let compute the book value at the end of the second year of the equipment's life.

Book value at the end of the second year=$8,000+$16,000

Book value at the end of the second year=$24,000

Therefore the Book value at the end of the second year will be $24,000
