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

A portfolio consists of $13,400 in Stock M and $18,900 invested in Stock N. The expected return on these stocks is 8.50 percent
Aneli [31]

Answer:

The expected return on the portfolio is:

10.31% ($3,331.40)

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Portfolio investments:  Expected Returns %   Expected Returns $

Stock M = $13,400           8.50%                           $1,139

Stock N = $18,900          11.60%                           $2,192.40

Total        $32,300          10.31%                           $3,331.40

Total expected returns in percentage is Expected Returns $/Total Investments * 100

= $3,331.40/$32,300 * 100

= 10.31%

b) The expected returns on the portfolio is derived by calculating the expected returns for each investment and summing up.  Then dividing the expected portfolio returns by the portfolio investment.  This yields 10.31% percentage value.

Nikitich [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

A production process usually involves the action of a variety of things that all perform specific functions towards a common goal, usually the production of a finished good or service. This therefor means that a type of management is needed to ensure that all these aspects are handled in such away that the set organizational needs are met. This can be broadly defined as management control. Management control involves the control and operation aspects of a production process to ensure that the organizational goals are met.

One aspect of management control that is very important in the production environment is quality control. Quality control involves the inspection of the production process and the products to determine the quality. The quality of the process and the products is usually measured against set organizational and production standards. This therefor means that if the process or the production quality falls below the standard, then the quality of the product can be said to be low while if the quality meet or surpass the standards then the quality is high.

Quality control helps companies identify areas that need to be improved, thus raising overall product value.
