If the Ricardian equivalence theorem LOADING... is not relevant, then an income-tax-rate cut A. will result in a multiple time

LenKa [72]

Answer:

The correct answer is D. will result in a multiple times higher decrease in equilibrium real GDP in the short run; however, a tax-rate reduction will increase the automatic-stabilizer properties of the tax system, so equilibrium real GDP would be less stable.

Explanation:

Ricardian Equivalence is an economic theory that suggests that when a government increases expenses financed with debt to try to stimulate demand, demand does not really undergo any change.

This is because increases in the public deficit will lead to higher taxes in the future. To keep their consumption pattern stable, taxpayers will reduce consumption and increase their savings in order to offset the cost of this future tax increase.

If taxpayers reduce their consumption and increase their savings by the same amount as the debt to be returned by the government, there is no effect on aggregate demand.

The fundamental concept of Ricardian equivalence is that it does not matter which method the government chooses to increase spending, whether by issuing public debt or through taxes (applying an expansive fiscal policy), the result will be the same and demand will remain unchanged.

B. Calculate cost of goods sold, selling and administrative expenses, and net income as a percentage of net sales for James Jeans and the two largest competitors; draw conclusions from these results and highlight similarities and differences.

C. Identify the structure of the sales and marketing team of each company, gather information about customer product reviews, and review product warranty claims to understand the comparative performance.

D. Analyze the size of each company's balance sheet and income statement accounts by calculating how much larger or smaller the competitors are compared to James Jeans Co. summarize observations about what might be the reasons for these size differences.

Thus, the vertical analysis approach that will provide the most effective performance evaluation of James Jeans Co. and its two largest competitors is <u>Option B.</u>

UNO [17]

Answer:

A monopolistically competitive industry is characterized by

a. many firms selling products that are similar but not identical.

Explanation:

A monopolistic competition is a form of imperfect competition with many firms operating in the industry. For such an industry, the goods or services are differentiated, such that one firm's goods or services can easily be associated with the producer. This is mostly achieved through branding and the use of trademarks. Each firm, therefore, competes with many other competitors, but they limit their competition by differentiating their products so that consumers would have preference for one against the other, depending on their perceived value.

See the image Below:

Requirement B

LANSBURY INC.

BALANCE SHEET

As at December 31, 2020

Assets

Cash $37,000

Accounts receivable $41,600

Investment $20,400 <em>(Note - 1)</em>

Plant asset $81,000

Less: Accumulated depreciation <u>($11,000) </u>

Book value of Plant asset $70,000

<u>Land $53,000</u>

Total assets $222,000

Liabilities and Stockholders' Equity

Liabilities

Accounts payable $30,000

<u>Notes payable $25,000</u>

<em>Total liabilities $55,000</em>

Stockholders' Equity

Common Stock $120,000

<u>Retained earnings $ 47,000 </u>(Note - 2)

<em>Total stockholders' equity = $167,000</em>

Total liabilities & Stockholders' Equity = $222,000

<em>Note - 1:</em>

Sold investment's cost value calculation -

Selling price = $15,000

<u>Less: Gain on sale = ($3,400)</u>

Cost price = $11,600

Investment during 2019 = $32,000

<u>Sale of Investment (book value) $11,600 </u>

Remaining value of Investment = $20,400

<em>Note - 2:</em>

Beginning $23,200

Add: Net Income $32,000

<u>Less: Dividend ($8,200)</u>

Ending retained earnings = $47,000

Requirement C

1. Cash flow to net income ratio:

It shows how much cash flows from operating activities during the year over a specific net income.

We know, Cash flow to net income ratio = $\frac{Cash flow from operating activities}{Net Income}$

Cash flow to net income ratio = $\frac{19,200}{32,000}$

Cash flow to net income ratio = 60%

2. Operating cash flow ratio:

It shows how much cash flows from operating activities during the year from the use of current liabilities.

We know, Operating Cash flow ratio = $\frac{Cash flow from operating activities}{Current liabilities}$

Operating Cash flow ratio = $\frac{19,200}{30,000}$

Operating Cash flow ratio = 64%

Note: Here, accounts payable is the only current liabilities as notes payable has a long-term value.
