Answer:

The correct answer is: 2,000; 0.4

Explanation:

We can write the initial consumption function as,

C = a + bY

8,000 = a + 10,000b

a = 8,000 - 10,000b

The new consumption function is,

14,000 = a + 20,000b

Putting value of a in this function

14,000 = 8,000 - 10,000b + 20,000b

14,000 - 8,000 = 10,000b

b  = \frac{6,000}{10,000}

b = 0.6

Putting the value of b in the initial function,

8,000 = a + 10,000 \times0.6

a = 8,000 - 6,000

a = $2,000

The marginal propensity to consume or b is 0.6.

The marginal propensity to save will be

= 1 - 0.6

= 0.4

VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

$4,697.04

Explanation:

In simple words , this question requires us to find the Future Value in 5 years time. We compound the Present Value using the effective interest rate to determine the Future Value of an investment.

<em>PV = $3,000.00</em>

<em>P/YR = 12</em>

<em>N = 5 x 12 = 60</em>

<em>I = 9 %</em>

<em>PMT = $0</em>

<em>FV = ?</em>

Using a Financial calculator to enter the parameters as above the Future Value (FV) is $4,697.04

therefore,

In 5 years time, you will have $4,697.04.

An end-of-aisle price promotion changes the price elasticity of a good from −2 to −3. Suppose the normal price is $34, which equ
Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

MC = $17

P = $25.5

Explanation:

We proceed as follows;

Firstly calculate MC when e = -2, where MR = MC

(P-MC) / P = 1 / IeI

Here P = $34 and e = -2

(34 - MC) / 34= 1/ I-2I

(34 - MC) / 34= 1 / 2

78-2MC = 34

2MC = 34

MC = 34/2

MC = 17

Now, as we have MC, we will calculate the new price when e = -3

(P-MC) / P = 1 / IeI

(P - 17) / P = 1 / I-3I

(P - 17) / P = 1 / 3

3P -51 = P

2P = 51

P = 51/2

P = 25.5

     To  FICA Social Security taxes

payable at 6.2%                                                                $1,612

     To FICA Medicare taxes

payable at 1.45%                                                                 $377

  To federal income taxes payable                                 $2,000

To employee medical insurance payable                           $429

To  employee union dues payable                                      $180

 Sales Salaries Payable                                                      $21.402

Working :

FICA Social Security taxes = 6.2% x $26,000 = $1,612

FICA Medicare taxes = 1.45% x 26,000 = $377

Salary payable =Sales salaries expense -(FICA Social Security taxes payable + FICA Medicare taxes payable + federal income taxes payable+medical insurance payable  +employee union dues payable  ) = 26,000 - (1612+377+2000+429+180)=$21,402.

Digiron [165]

Date Activities Units Acquired at Cost Units Sold at Retail

May 1 Beginning Inventory 150 units at $10.00  

5 Purchase 220 units at $12.00  

10 Sales  140 units at $20.00

15 Purchase 100 units at $13.00  

24 Sales  90 units at $21.0

Answer:

Value of closing inventory =$1290

Explanation:

<em>Under the LIFO inventory system units of inventory are priced using the price of the most recent batch purchased and this continues in turn.</em>

The value of closing inventory = Total cost of inventory available for sales - cost of goods sold

<em>The cost of inventory sold would be determined as follows:</em>

140 units  :140 × $12=1,680

90 units : 90× $13 = 1,170

Total cost of goods = 1,680 + 1,170  = 2,850

<em>Total cost of inventory available for sales would be equal to :</em>

(150  × $10.00) +  (220  ×$12.00) = 4,140

The value of closing inventory = Total cost of inventory available for sales - cost of goods sold

4,140  - 2,850 = $1290

Value of closing inventory =$1290
