Answer:

The new equilibrium combination will be at increases I1 to I2, S1 to S2, and r1 to r2.

Explanation:

Saving or national saving of an economy is amount  of national income or gross domestic product (GPD) that is not spent by the government. Using a simple example of a closed economy, i.e. an economy with no foreign trade in terms and imports, this statement can be mathematically as follows:

Y = C + I + G .......................................... (1)

Where,

Y denotes national income (GDP), C denotes consumption, I denotes Investment, and G denotes government spending.

To get investment, equation (1) can be rewritten by making I the subject of the formula as follows:

I = Y - C - G ......................................... (2)

In economics, saving (S) is always equal to investment (I). Therefore, equation (2) can be rewritten by equating it with I as follows:

I = Y - C - G = S

I = S

Both I and S can be written as initial saving (S1) and initial Investment (I1), and we therefore have

I1 = S1 ................................................................. (3)

Equation (3) is an equilibrium E which implies that Investment (I1) is equal to saving (S1) at the initial real interest rate (r1). Real interest here denotes the price for saving and investment.

Since saving of an economy is amount  of national income or GDP that is not spent by the government, a cuts in the government spending will cause saving to rise, i..e. to S2. Since saving and Investment is always equal to investment, Investment will also rise, i.e. to S2. Increase in I1 to I2 and also in S1 to S2, will cause the real interest rate to rise to r2 at E2 which is the new equilibrium combination of real interest rate, saving, and investment

Therefore, the new equilibrium combination of real interest rate, saving, and investment if the government cuts spending, holding other factors constant, will be at increases in I1 to I2, S1 to S2, and r1 to r2.

Rally Quadcopters plans to sell a standard quadcopter (toy drone) for $45 and a deluxe quadcopter for $65. Rally purchases the s
Andrew [12]

Answer:

Rally must sell 1,080 units of Standard and 720 units of Deluxe

Explanation:

                                                  Standard       Deluxe        Total

Sales price per unit                      $45                $65

Less: Variable cost                      ($35)              ($45)

Contribution Margin per  unit       $10                $20

Sales Mix units  (A)                        $3                  $2                $5

Contribution margin                      $30                $40             $70

Weighted average Contribution                                              $14    

per unit C= B/A

Appointment of fixed cost between standard and deluxe

Total Fixed cost = 14,700

Break even point = Fixed cost / Weighted average Contribution  per unit

= 14,700 / 14

= 1,050

Apportionment of Break even point sales between Standard and deluxe in sales mix ratio (3:2)

Standard = 1,050 * 3/5 = 630

Deluxe = 1,050 * 2/3 = 420

Unit to be sold to get desired profit = Fixed cost + Desired profit / Weighted average Contribution per unit

= (14,700 + 10,500) / 14

= 1,800

Apportionment of Units to be sold to get desired profit between Standard and Deluxe in sales mix ratio (3:2)

Standard = 1,800 * 3/5 = 1,080

Deluxe = 1,800 * 2/5 = 720

To reach target operating income, Rally must sell 1,080 units of Standard and 720 units of Deluxe

One of two alternatives will be selected to reduce flood damage in a rural community in central Arizona. The estimates associate
pochemuha

Answer:

Since the incremental B/C of 58.21 is less greater 1, it implies that the alternative that should be selected is Channel.

Explanation:

The alternative that should be selected can be determined using the Benefit-Cost (B/C) analysis as follows:

Incremental B/C = [Incremental Flood damage savings * ((1 + r)^-3 + (1 + r)^-9 + ((1 + r)^-18)] / [Incremental initial cost + (Incremental Annual Maintenance cost * ((1 - (1 / (1 + r))^n) / r))] ............... (1)

Where:

Incremental initial cost = Channel initial cost - Retention pond initial cost = $1,500,000 - $880,000 = $620,000

Incremental Annual Maintenance cost = Channel Annual Maintenance - Retention pond Annual Maintenance = $30,000 - $92,000 = -$62,000

Incremental flood damage savings = Channel Incremental flood damage savings - Retention pond incremental flood damage savings = $625,000 - $200,000 = $425,000

r = Discount rate = 8%, or 0.08

n = number of years = 20

Substituting all the relevant values into equation (1), we have:

Incremental B/C = [425000 * ((1+0.08)^-3 + (1+0.08)^-9 + (1+0.08)^-18)] / [$620,000 - ($62,000 * ((1 - (1 / (1 + 0.08))^20) / 0.08))]

Incremental B/C = $656,340.35 / $11,274.86

Incremental B/C = 58.2127235166936

Rounding to 2 decimal places, we have:

Incremental B/C = 58.21

Since the incremental B/C of 58.21 is less greater 1, it implies that the alternative that should be selected is Channel.

Suppose the reserve requirement is 5​%. What is the effect on total checkable deposits in the economy if bank reserves increase
madam [21]

Answer:

D. ​$1 comma 000 billion increase

Explanation:

The reserve requirement ratio determines the total amount of checkable deposits a bank must keep.

In this case the reserve ratio it's 5%, which means that the total amount of deposits cannot exceed an amount equal to 20 times its reserves.  

If the reserves increase by $50 billion then $50/0,05 = 1.000 billion increase.

Which clause protects proceeds from creditors of the beneficiary?
Inga [223]
The answer is spendthrift clause. It is a trust that is produced for the benefit of a person that gives an independent trustee full authority to make decisions as to how the trust funds may be spent for the benefit of the beneficiary. Creditors of the beneficiary usually cannot reach the money in the trust, and the funds are not actually under the control of the beneficiary. Also,  it prevents the beneficiary's reckless spending of benefits.
