Answer:
When a financial friction is added to the short-run model it: shifts the MP curve up.
Explanation:
The short-run model, IS/MP model, describes the Investment-Savings/Monetary Policy model used by the US Federal Reserve to decrease the real interest rate through the Federal Funds rate, i.
The Federal Funds rate is the interest rate that commercial banks with excess reserves lend to others in deficit. The resulting shift occasions a decrease in the real interest rate which triggers an increase in the inflation rate, and vice versa. With such short-run changes in the interest rate, inflation and output is influenced in desirable directions by the Federal Reserve as a foundation to achieve long-term shifts in the AD-AS model.
The AD-AS model is a long-term model that describes Aggregate Demand and Aggregate Supply which impact long-term inflation, interest rates, and output.
Answer:
0.25 or 25%
Explanation:
The computation of the gross profit rate is shown below:
Gross profit rate = Gross profit ÷ Net sales revenue
where,
Net sales revenue = Sales revenue - Sales Returns and Allowances - Sales Discounts
= $2,000,000 - $250,000 - $50,000
= $1,700,000
And, the Cost of goods sold is $1,275,000
So, the gross profit is
= $1,700,000 - $1,275,000
= $425,000
So, the gross profit rate is
= $425,000 ÷ $1,700,000
= 0.25 or 25%
The inventory level will be used by an inventory
manager to regulate the optimal time for manufacturing, if they are handling
a manufacturer's warehouse, or to demand more if the product is being stored as
stock at a store.
To solve this:
Get first the Current Assets this solved by multiplying the
current liabilities to the current ratio.
CA = $500 (1.5) = $750
Then get the inventory level by multiplying the current
asset to the product of the current liabilities and quick ratio.
Inventory level = $750 (500 x 1.1) = $412,500
