Answer:
(B) $20 billion
Explanation:
Given a certain level of MPC, an increase in government spending (G) by a certain amount translates to an increase in aggregate demand (AD) through the relationship below.
where Δ means <em>change.</em>
<em />
Therefore, given ΔAD of $50 billion, and MPC of 0.6,
= 
= 
= ΔG = 50 * 0.4 = 20
Therefore, increase in government purchases = $20 billion.
Answer:
TRUE
Explanation:
Current Access Control rosters should be authenticated, authorized and accounted for by the manager or their designated representative.
Bio-metrics, Electronic locks, and Smart cards are sensitive data-derivation technologies and since they are applied in a number of sectors - e.g. Telecommunications, Retail, Defense, Healthcare, Hospitality, and Information Technology - current access to devices and software applications should be authenticated by the manager or a designated representative of the manager.
Answer:
preferred habitat
Explanation:
According to the preferred habitat theory, if the expected returns from investment of a particular investment maturity is large enough, investors would shift from their preferred maturities.
In this question, there is a shift from the preferred maturity (short-term securities) to a long-term securities when interest rate changes
The pure expectations theory assumes that bonds of any maturity are perfect substitutes for each other. For example, if an investor buys a 10 year bond and holds it for 1 year, the return is the same as buying a 1 year bond. The theory also assumes that risk premium does not exist and a security only earns its risk free rate
Liquidity premium theory states that risk premium increases with the maturity of a bond. The theory predicts that the yield curve is upward sloping due to liquidity premium
According to the segmented market theory, each bond maturity segment can be thought of as a segment market in which yield are a function of the demand and supply for funds in that maturity.
Answer:
The fixed overhead production-volume variance is $9,000 U
Explanation:
In this question, we are tasked with calculating the fixed overhead production-volume variance.
We start by calculating the fixed overhead applied to production.
mathematically that is equal to : 54,000 * 0.03 * 50 = 81,000
The budgeted fixed overhead = 90,000
Mathematically,
Fixed overhead production-volume variance = Budgeted fixed overhead - fixed overhead applied to production = 90,000 - 81,000 = $9,000 U
