Answer:

a. 7.71%

b. $57.57

Explanation:

a. The computation of discount rate is shown below:-

Discount rate = Risk free rate of return + Market Risk Premium × Beta

Here Common stock will have the same market risk as S&P 500 i.e Beta of Common Stock is 1

= 1.5% + 7.6 × 1

= 7.71%

b. The computation of stock price is shown below:-

Stock price = Expected Stock Value at year End ÷ (1+ Discount rate) + Expected Dividend ÷ (1 + Discount Rate)

= $60 ÷ (1 + 7.71%) + $2 ÷ (1 + 7.71%)

= $60 ÷ 1.0771 + 2 ÷ 1.0771

= $55.71 + $1.86

= $57.57

what happens to aggregate output if both taxes and government spending are lowered by $300 billion and mpc
Papessa [141]

Answer:

The answer is:

1. consumers' expenditure increases by $150 billion

2. output will decrease by $600 billion

Explanation:

Tax impact:

$300 billion x 0.5

= $150 billion.

If taxes are lowered by $300 billion, consumers' expenditure increases by $150 billion because with lower tax, there is money money to be spent because their disposable income has increased.

Government spending impact:

$300/(1-0.5)

$300/0.5

=$600 billion.

Due to government spending that has increased by this amount, output will decrease by this amount too because government has directly competed with firms that should have used this money to increase the total output.

Therefore, net effect on total output is $300billion($600 - $300)

Companies report prior period adjustments, net of any income tax effects in the single-step income statement.
A single step income statement is one of two commonly used formats for the income statement or profit and loss statement. It uses only one subtraction to arrive at net income. On the other hand, a multi-step statement reveals the company's gross profit, which is the difference between its sales revenue and its cost of goods sold, and operating profit, which is the difference between its gross profit and its operating expenses.
