Answer:
$120 billion
Explanation:
Economy operating at $300 billion above its natural level of output.
Marginal propensity to consume, MPC = 3/5 = 0.6
For closing this expansionary gap, the government have to decrease its spending by the amount calculated as follows:
Spending multiplier:
= 1/ (1 - MPC)
= 1/ (1 - 0.6)
= 1/ 0.4
= 2.5
Hence, the government spending reduces by
= Expansionary gap ÷ Spending multiplier
= $300 ÷ 2.5
= $120 billion
Answer:
Option (A) is correct.
Explanation:
Given that,
2018:
Accounts receivable (net) = $20
Net sales = $115
Cost of goods sold = $60
Net income = $20
Inventory turnover = 5.22
Return on equity = Return on assets × Equity multiple
= 10.3% × 2.36
= 24.308% or 24.3%
Therefore, Dowling's return on equity for 2018 is 24.3%.
