Answer:

A. Interest rates rise.

C. There is an economic boom overseas that raises the incomes of foreign households.

Explanation:

Option A - It is correct because if the interest rate increases, consumer spending will decline. Therefore, the aggregate demand curve will shift to the left.

Option B - If the government reduces the personal income tax, the consumers will spend more, it will lead the aggregate demand to the right. So, it is wrong.

Option C - Foreign households' income will lead to more savings. Therefore, spending will decline. So, it is the correct statement.

Option D - It is incorrect because corporate profit tax will not consider in the aggregate demand.

Lloyd Inc. had sales of $200,000, a net income of //415,000, and the following balance sheet:

Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

The firm's new quick ratio is 2.9

Explanation:

The current ratio is calculated as

Current ratio = Current assets / Current liabilities

2.5 times = (Cash + receivables + Inventories ) / (Accounts payable + Other current liabilities)

2.5 = ($10,000 + $50,000 + Inventories) / $50,000

$60,000 + inventories = $125,000

Inventories = $65,000

Therefore, $85,000 worth of inventories were sold off.

If the funds generated are used to reduce the common equity that is by repurchasing the equity at book value.

Hence, the common equity amounts to $115,000

Calculating the ROE before the inventory is sold off:

ROE = Net income / Stockholder's equity

= $15,000 / $200,000

= 0.075 or 7.5%

Calculating the ROE after selling off the inventory:

ROE = $15,000 / $115,000

= 0.13 or 13%

The firm's new quick ratio is

Quick ratio = (Current assets - Inventories) / Current liabilities

= ($210,000 - $65,000) / $50,000

= 2.9

max fischer is a beekeeper. his annual group insurance costs 11,700. his employer pays 60% of the cost. how much does max pay se

jasenka [17]

To solve for the semimonthly payments on Max's insurance cost:

Annual insurance rate: $11,700

Employer pays 60%

What is Max's amount to pay?

(11,700)(.60) = $7,020

Max's employer pays $7,020

Max pays $4,680 (11,700-7,020)

If Max pay's $4,680 a year and we want to know but he pays semimonthly, or twice a month then we need to divide his annual payment by 24 since there are 12 months and he pays twice a month.

($4,680/24)= $195

Max pays $195 semimonthly for his insurance.

Suppose the rate of return on short-term government securities (perceived to be risk-free) is about 5%. Suppose also that the ex

Natalka [10]

Answer:

The expected rate of return on the market portfolio is 14%.

Explanation:

The expected rate of return on the market portfolio can be calculated using the following capital asset pricing model (CAPM) formula:

Er = Rf + B[E(Rm) - Rf] ...................... (1)

Where:

Er = Expected rate of return on the market portfolio = ?

Rf = Risk-free rate = 5%

B = Beta = 1

E(Rm) = Market expected rate of return = 14%

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

Er = 5 + 1[14 - 5]

Er = 5 + 1[9]

Er = 5 + 9

Er = 14%

Therefore, the expected rate of return on the market portfolio is 14%.
