Answer:

The correct answer is option b.

Explanation:

An increase in government expenditure will have a smaller effect on the aggregate demand if the MPC is smaller. This happens because the consumers will save the major share of their income and not consume it if MPC is small.  

This will not increase consumer spending as much as they should. And thus aggregate demand will increase by a small amount.  

The change in aggregate demand will also be smaller if the investment is interest elastic. The government increases spending by borrowing from the loanable funds market.  

This increases the demand for loanable funds. The interest rate, as a result, increases. This increase in interest rate makes borrowing costlier for private investors.  

This further causes the investment expenditure to increase as much as it should. And thus aggregate demand will increase by a small amount as well.

Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:

$175,100

Explanation:

Job 523 started on June 1 and ended on July 15

The total cost on July 15 was 10,800

The cost added in July was 164,300

Therefore the debit to cost of goods sold can be calculated as follows.

= 10,800 + 164,300

= 175,100

Hence the debit to cost of goods sold is $175,100

Each of the following documents is used in the control of cash disbursements except a.cash register tapes. b.receiving reports.
GrogVix [38]

Answer: a. cash register tapes.

Explanation:

When you go to a shop and buy something at the till and the cashier prints a receipt and gives it to you, that paper is a cash register tape.

A cash register tape therefore shows the goods sold and the amount the goods were sold at. It is therefore not used as a method of control for cash disbursement which is cash going out of a business but rather for cash that is coming into the business.

Journalizing issuance of stock—at par and at a premium
suter [353]

Answer:

a.

Cash                                                                           27000 Dr

     Common Stock                                                            13500 Cr

     Paid in capital in excess of par-Common stock         13500 Cr

b.

Cash                                                    135000 Dr

     Preferred Stock                                   135000 Cr

Explanation:

a.

When we issue stock at premium, we always record the amount received from such issuance of stock at full. So, the cash account will be debited for 4500 * 6 = 27000

However, we record the common stock issued at par value and the remaining is credited under the reserve account which is Paid in capital in excess of par.

Thus the common stock will be credited by its par value of 4500 * 3 = 13500 and the remaining 4500 * 3 will be credited to the Paid in Capital account.

b.

The par value of the preferred stock is 4500 * 30 = 135000

Thus the preferred stock is issued at par and we simply debit the cash received from the issue and credit the preferred stock.
