Answer:

tax increased = $22.22 billion

so correct option is 3. increase taxes by $22.22 billion.

Explanation:

given data

real GDP = $500 billion

employment GDP = $300 billion

marginal propensity = 0.9

solution

we know here that Inflationary gap will be

Inflationary gap = Real GDP - Full-employment GDP

Inflationary gap = $(500 - 300) billion

Inflationary gap = $200 billion

and tax Multiplier is

Tax Multiplier  = \frac{- marginal propensity}{1 - 0.9}

Tax Multiplier  = -9

here negative sign means that decrease real GDP by $9

so tax should be increased by $1

so we can say that decrease real GDP by $200 billion

and  tax should be increased = \frac{200 billion}{9}  

tax increased = $22.22 billion

so correct option is 3. increase taxes by $22.22 billion.

RoseWind [281]

Answer:

option d) approximately 84%

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Mean, m = $92

Standard deviation, s = $13

Now,

we have to calculate percentage of homes will have a monthly utility bill of more than $79 i.e P(X > 79)

also,

P( X > 79) = 1 - P( X < 79)

Z-score for (X = 79 ) = \frac{X-m}{s}

Z = \frac{79-92}{13}

or

Z = -1

From the standard Z value vs P table, we have

P( Z < -1 ) = 0.1587

Thus,

P( X < 79) = P( Z < -1 ) = 0.1587

therefore,

P(X > 79) = 1 - 0.1587

or

P(X > 79) = 0.8413

or

= 0.8413 × 100%

= 84.13%

Hence,

option d) approximately 84%

Other things equal, a firm will have to pay a higher coupon rate on its subordinated debentures than on its second mortgage bond
spin [16.1K]

The statement "Other things equal, a firm will have to pay a higher coupon rate on its subordinated debentures than on its second mortgage bonds."  is True

This is further explained below.

<h3>What is a Mortgage?</h3>

Generally, MBS stands for mortgage-backed securities, which are bonds that are backed by mortgages and other types of real estate loans.

They are produced when a number of these loans, which often have qualities that are comparable to one another, are pooled together.

A company that operates for the purpose of making a profit and is often structured as a partnership in order to carry out the provision of professional services, such as legal or accounting work, is referred to as a firm.

The maximization of profits is the overarching goal of the business, according to the theory of the firm.

In conclusion, It is correct to say that, "all things being equal, a company will be required to pay a greater coupon rate on its subordinated debentures than on its second mortgage bonds."

Pie Co. uses the installment sales method to recognize revenue. Customers pay the installment notes in 24 equal monthly amounts,
Nataliya [291]

Answer:

C. The present value of the remaining monthly payments discounted at 12%.

Explanation:

To answer the question I have used following values to workout

Original Sales Value = 500,000

Interest rate  = 12%

Numbers of periods = 24

First I calculate the Equal annual installment payment by using following excel formula

=PMT(rate,nper,pv,[fv],[type])

Where

PMT = Equal Annual Payment

rate = Interst rate = 12%/12 = 1%

nper = Tota numbers of payment = 24 payments

pv = oroginal sales value = 500,000

FV = Value outstanding after 24 payments = 0

Type = The payment made at the start or end of the year ( 0 for the payment made at the end of the period and 1 for the payment made at the beginning of the period ) = 0

placing values in the formula

=PMT(1%,24,50,000,0,0)

= $23,536.74  

Now use these values to make the schedule which is attached with this answer.

After six Payment

Outstanding value = 385,961.72  

Original sales price = 500,000

Percentage of outstanding balance to original sales value = 385,961.72 / 500,000 = 0.77 = 77%

The reamining balance is above 75% of the original sales price.

Note:

A payment schedule is attached for reference
