Tax multiplier = -1.5
Tax increase = $200 billion

Therefore, since the multiplier is a negative value, the GDP must have gone down.

GDP = Tax increase/Tax multiplier  = 200/-1.5 = $133.33 billion decrease.
Then, the correct answer is c.

A process has low fixed costs and high variable costs. It is currently capacity-constrained. Will the impact of an efficiency im
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

Small

Explanation:

Fixed costs are the costs that do not change when output level changes, while variable costs are costs that change as output quantity changes.

When a production process is capacity constrained, it implies that there is a factor that does not allow it to produce more output. Examples of such factors are minor bottlenecks, constrained designs and resources, and others.

A process is said to be efficient when it can avoid waste of resources in producing desired output.

Efficiency improvement therefore occurs when more output can be produced with less resources.

In the question, given that the process is currently capacity-constrained, efficiency improvement will result in producing more output at higher costs because of high variable costs despite that the process has low fixed costs.

As a result, the impact of an efficiency improvement will be small because producing more output will result in incurring higher cost due to high variable costs that change as quantity of output changes. That is, the impact of efficiency improvement will be small because high variable costs with low fixed cost will result in higher production cost.

Sage Company had cash receipts from customers in 2020 of $137,920. Cash payments for operating expenses were $84,990. Sage has d
Triss [41]

Answer:

sales revenue for the period: $  143,900

operating expenses:               $   78,000

Explanation:

We solve for sales using the account recievable identity:

beginning account receivable + sales - collection = ending account receivable

12,330 + sales - 137,920 = 18,310

sales = 137,920 + 18,310 - 12,330 = 143,900

Then, for operating expenses, we have a prepaid expenses thus unexpired and therefore, not expenses under accrued accounting.

we solve like this:

beginning prepaid expenses    19,800

payment on expenses              84,990

total expenses payment          104,790

We now subtract the prepaid (unexpired) to get the amount accrued for the period:

104,790 - 26,790 = 78,000

xenn [34]

Answer:

Total yield or rate of return is 0.36 or 36%

Explanation:

To calculate rate of return which is also the total yield on the stock, we will use the following formula,

Total Yield = (D + C) / P0

Where,

  • D represents dividends paid by the stock during the year
  • C is the capital appreciation(pr depreciation) or rise(or fall) in the price of the stock as compared to the purchase price
  • P0 is the purchase price or price in Year 0

Total dividends for the year = 1.5 * 4 = $6

C = 130 - 100 = $30

Total Yield = (6 + 30) / 100

Total yield = 0.36 or 36%

krok68 [10]

Answer:

Dividend yield is 2.91 %.

Explanation:

Dividend yield = Annual Dividend per Share / Stock Price per Share × 100

<em>where,</em>

Annual Dividend per Share = Total Dividends ÷ Total Number of Shares

                                              = $835 ÷ 500

                                              = $1.67

<em>then,</em>

Dividend yield = $1.67 / $57.48 × 100

                        = 2.905 or 2.91 %
