Answer:

A) A credit to accumulated depreciation of $14.4 Million

Explanation:

The complete journal entry should be:

  • Dr Asset XXX account 24,000,000
  • Cr Accumulated Depreciation account 14,400,000
  • Cr Retained Earnings account 9,600,000

First of all the asset must be recorded at full value.

Accumulated depreciation would be credited for 3 years = ($24 / 5) x 3 = $4.8 x = $14.4

Since the depreciation expense lowered the net profits during 2018, the retained earnings must be adjusted for the remaining value = $24 - $14.4 = $9.8

If the marginal propensity to consume (MPC) is 0.75, and if the goal is to increase real GDP by $400 million, then by how much w
mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

Government spending would have to change by <u>$1.6 billion</u>

Explanation:

The marginal propensity to consume (MPC) refers to the proportion of an increase in aggregate income that is spent on consumption of commodities by a consumer.

Since from the question, we have:

MPC = Marginal propensity to consume = 0.75

The MPC can therefore be used to calculate the fiscal multiplier which measures the effect of government spending on real GDP as follows:

Fiscal multiplier = 1 / (1 - MPC) = 1 / (1 - 0.75) = 1 / 0.25 = 4.0

Therefore, we have:

Change in government spending = Fiscal multiplier * Amount of targeted increase real GDP = 4.0 * $400 million = $1.6 billion

Therefore, government spending would have to change by <u>$1.6 billion</u> to generate $400 million increase in real GDP.

umka2103 [35]
Answer:  $403.20

Explanation:


We use a mortgage calculator to calculate the interest paid in the final payment. Since each repayment is made at the end of year, the repayments are annual payments. So, the calculator should have an annual amortization schedule to solve the problem.

I used http://www.calculator.net/loan-calculator for the calculation because it has an annual payment schedule. Then, I went under the subtitle Paying Back a Fixed Amount Periodically because the payments are equal. In that online calculator, I just input these data:

- Loan Amount: $12,000
- Loan Term: 4 (Loan term is number of years to pay the loan)
- Interest Rate: 11.5%
- Compound: Annually (APY) 
- Pay Back: Every year

Then, I clicked the calculate button and view amortization table. The annual amortization schedule is attached in this answer. 

To determine the interest paid at the final payment, I looked at payment #4 because the final payment is at the 4th year. (The loan is paid in 4 annual payments).

As seen in the attached image, the interest paid in payment #4 is $403.20. Hence, the interest paid in the final payment is $403.20.
