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

Answer:

rE = 0.1486 or 14.86%

Explanation:

The expected rate of return of a stock is the mean return that is expected to be earned by the stock considering the different scenarios that can occur, the return in these scenarios and the probability of the occurrence of these scenarios. The formula for expected rate of return of stock is,

rE = pA * rA  +  pB * rB  +  ...  + pN * rN

Where,

  • pA, pB, ... represents the probability that scenario A, B and so on will occur or the probability of each scenario
  • rA, rB, ... represents the return in scenario A, B and so on

rE = 0.21 * 0.2  +  0.72 * 0.15  +  0.07 * -0.02

rE = 0.1486 or 14.86%

Production records show that there were 440 units in the beginning inventory, 30% complete, 1,440 units started, and 1,600 units
Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

a. The number of units processed is

= Beginning work in process units + completed and started units - transferred out units

= 440 units + 1,440 units - 1,600 units

= 280 units

b. The material cost per unit is

= Total cost ÷ equivalent units

where,

Total cost is

= Opening work in process + material cost

= $2,220 + $6,610

= $8,830

And, the equivalent units is

= Units transferred out + ending work in process

= 1,600 + 280

= 1,880

So, the material cost per unit is

= $8,830 ÷ 1,880 units

= $4.70

c. The conversion cost per unit is

= Total cost ÷ equivalent units

where,

Total cost is

= Opening work in process + labor cost + overhead cost

= $1,720 + $4,800 + $1,300

= $7,820

And, the equivalent units is

= Units transferred out + ending work in process × completion percentage

= 1,600 + 280 × 40%

= 1,712

So, the material cost per unit is

= $7,820 ÷ 1,712 units

= $4.57
