Answer:
This is a recessionary gap of $60 billion.
Simple multiplier = 1/ (1-.75) = 1/.25 = 4
The government would then have to increase its spending on goods and merchandise by total gap divided my simple multiplier.
$60 billion/ 4 = $15 billionTransfer multiplier - Each dollar of a Transfer payment will increase real GDP by Transfer Payment Multiplier
= MPC / (1-MPC) = 0.75 / (1-0.75) = 0.75/0.25 = $3
The government must increase spending on transfer payments by total gap divided by transfer payment multiplier = $60 billion / $3 = $20 billion
Answer:
a. $1,028 million
b. 46.7%
Explanation:
a. Dividends are taken from the retained earnings and net income is added to the retained earnings. The formula for ending retained earnings is;
Ending retained earnings = Opening Retained earnings + Net Income - Dividends
14,329 = 13,157 + 2,200 - Dividends
Dividends = 13,157 + 2,200 - 14,329
Dividends = $1,028 million
b. Dividends as a percentage of income
= 1,028/2,200
= 0.467
= 46.7%
Answer:
C, they analyze police reports about crimes reported by victims
Explanation:
Option A is wrong because is disregard hard crimes that conducted by blue-collar people (such as theft, store robbery, or even gang attacks).
Option B and D are wrong because 'Potential' victims do not always translate to actual victims, This will make the data that collected by the firm become misleading. They wouldn't find out the type of crimes that often happen in real life and wouldn't be able to design a proper solution for them.
Option C is the best choice from the available options. Even though it's not perfect. There are a lot of crimes that often goes unreported by the victims (such as domestic abuse)
Answer: The Ricardian equivalence theorem states that
: <u>"A. an increase in the government budget deficit has no effect on aggregate demand."</u>
Explanation: Ricardian Equivalence establishes that when the government increases the expenses financed with debt to try to stimulate the demand, this increase of the expenses does not produce any change in the demand.
This happens because the increases in the public deficit will be higher taxes in the future. Therefore, taxpayers reduce their consumption and increase their savings in order to offset the cost that will be the future tax increase.
Answer:
C. VL = VU + PV(Tax Shield) - PV(CFD)
Explanation:
The static trade off theory is a theory of capital structure in corporate finance, first proposed by Alan Kraus and Robert H. Litzenberger. The theory emphasizes the trade-offs between the tax benefits of increasing leverage and the cost of bankruptcy associated with higher leverage. The <u>answer is C</u> as we know relative to the unleveraged firm, leverage provides both costs and benefits. The benefits are the tax shields provided by debt.
