Answer:

option c) $ 12 billion

Explanation:

Data provided :

Required reduction in consumption = $ 36 billion

MPC = 0.75

Now,

Total income  = Required reduction in consumption / MPC

or

the Increase in tax = $ 36 billion / 0.75

or

= $ 48 billion

the government can raise the tax = $ 48 billion - $ 36 billion = $ 12 billion

Hence, the answer is option C

150-seat restaurant $8,000,000 is needed to construct the restaurant; no additional investment is needed in working capital.
goldenfox [79]

Answer:

The answer is $7400000

Explanation:

Solution

Recall that:

There is  no information is given about per unit cost or sales price hence, a reverse calculation is to be made to find out the projected total revenue.

Now,

The reverse calculation to find sales is computed as follows:

Begin from the expected profit + Tax expenses + Interest Expenses + undistributed expenses + variable cost

Thus,

From the calculation of each term is as stated below:

1. The profit expected = 15% return on their investment. it is to be after tax return, total investment = $8000000,

So,

The Profit expected  = $8000000 *15% = $1200000.

2. The tax xxpenses = 25% that is, it should be 25% on taxable profit which is  decreased from it and then net profit after tax is available,

Thus,

we have net profit after tax we can compute the  taxable profit as = $1200000 / 75% = $1600000.  for example, tax amount on taxable profit = $160000 * 25% = $400000.

3. The Interest Expenses = 5% of borrowed fund from bank,

Now,

The  borrowed fund from bank = $2000000 (8000000-6000000)

The expenses interest = $ 100000 ($2000000*5%)

4. Undistributed Expenses is stated as follows:

The Undistributed expenses are given in the question = $2000000.

5. Variable cost that is the labor cost and cost of food :

From the question it is given that it is 50% of the sales, which means the remaining 50% is the contribution.

Now

The contribution on reverse calculation is  computed as:

Profit +taxes + Interest + fixed expenses

Contribution = 1200000 + 400000 + 100000 + 2000000 = $ 3700000,

Thus,

We say,let the sales be 10 , then variable cost be 50 and contribution is 50, that means variable cost = contribution in this case.

so, in proportional calculation , the variable cost = $3700000 .

Thus

The projected sales = expected profit + Tax expenses + Interest Expenses + undistributed expenses + variable cost

The total revenue projected =$1200000+ $ 400000 + $100000 + $ 2000000 +$ 3700000

Therefore, the total revenue projected = $ 7400000

Pettit Ice Cream Company produces various ice cream products for which demand is highly seasonal. The company sells more ice cre
Rashid [163]

Answer:

a) Fixed costs = $22,000

b) $70,000

c) The high low cost method is generally inaccurate because it only considers the extremes, the highest and lowest costs and activity levels. Generally costs are not linear, but they might follow a certain tendency. The advantages of the high low cost method is that it is fairly accurate when costs are stable, plus it is much simpler to calculate.

d) Assuming that costs follow a certain tendency, regression analysis is much more exact since it analyses the relationship between different data and different variables. When you analyze only 2 variables, a linear regression analysis will serve you. but if you need to analyse more than two variables, then you must use a multiple regression analysis.

The R² statistic basically measures how one variable's variance is affected by other variables. E.g. if R² is 0.75, then 75% of the variance of A will be explained by the variance of B.

Explanation:

variable cost using high low cost method = (highest activity cost - lowest activity cost) / (highest activity level - lowest activity level) = ($82,000 - $46,000) / (50,000 - 20,000) = $36,000 / 30,000 gallons of ice cream = $1.20 per gallon of ice cream

fixed costs = $82,000 - (50,000 x $1.20) = $22,000

40,000 gallons

$22,000 + (40,000 x $1.20) = $70,000

how regression analysis improves accuracy of high low cost method

What is the maximum loan amount a bank will provide a borrower under the following circumstances: LTV: 70% Appraised Value: $320
valkas [14]

Answer:

$231,000

Explanation:

The maximum loan amount that the borrower would get from a bank is the 70% of the contract price which is computed thus:

The understanding here is that the bank would provide 70% counterparty funds which is equivalent to 70% of $330,000 i.e $231,000(70%*$330,000).

In other words,the borrower should be willing to provide 30% of $330,000 while the bank complements the borrower's efforts withe balance of 70%
