Answer:

$45 billion

Explanation:

As per the data given in the question,

Marginal propensity to consume(MPC) = 0.9

Multiplier = 1 ÷ (1-MPC)

= 1 ÷ (1-0.9)

= 1 ÷ 0.1

= 10

Required change in money supply = $450 billion

Investment needed = Expansion ÷ Multiplier

= $450 ÷ 10

= $45 billion

Therefore, Least amount which can be spent by government to overcome the $450 billion gap = $45 billion

Equipment with an original cost of $75,000 and accumulated depreciation of $20,000 was sold at a loss of $7,000. As a result of
Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

O increase by $48,000

Explanation:

A loss is made on disposal of an asset when the amount received from the disposal is lower than the carrying amount of the asset. The carrying amount or net book value of an asset is the difference between the cost of the asset and its accumulated depreciation.

Hence

Carrying amount = $75,000 - $20,000

= $55,000

Let the amount received on disposal be K

K - $55,000 = -$7,000

K = $55,000 - $7,000

= $48,000

This is the amount received from the disposal and it represents an increase in cash.

LO 8.5Identify several causes of a favorable material quantity variance.
yan [13]

Answer:

Possible causes of material quantity variance:

1. The use of sub-standard material

2. The use of unskilled labour

3.  Wastage of material

Explanation:

Material quantity variance is the difference between standard quantity and actual quantity used multiplied by standard price. The use of sub-standard material reduces the quality of output thereby resulting to unfavorable material quantity variance.  The use of unskilled labour also leads to unfavorable material quantity variance. Wastage of material                                                  due to low quality of inputs also results to unfavorable material quantity variance.

Alpaca Corporation had revenues of $290,000 in its first year of operations. The company has not collected on $18,600 of its sal
Kitty [74]

Answer:

$118,860

Explanation:

Gross Margin:

= Revenue - Cost of Goods Sold

= $290,000 - $100,000

= $190,000

Profit before tax:

= Gross Margin - Salaries - Insurance payment - Interest

= $190,000 - $12,000 - $3,600 - $4,600

= $169,800

Insurance payment: Only half of 2-year payment of 7,200 is relevant for this year.

Net Income:

= Profit before tax - Tax at 30%

= $169,800 - (30% × $169,800)

= $169,800 - $50,940

= $118,860
