Answer:
See below.
Explanation:
For a, first we calculate the credit multiplier of the economy,
Credit multiplier = 1 / reserve ratio
Credit multiplier = 1 / 0.25 = 4
This means that any change in money supply will be 4 times as much in the economy, hence to induce a change of $120 billion, the Fed will decrease the money supply by 120/4 = $30 billion. This will increase the interest rates just enough to stabilize aggregate demand.
For b, we again start by calculating the credit multiplier.
Credit multiplier = 1/0.10 = 10
Since the Fed want to stimulate investment, it needs to use an expansionary monetary policy.
The Fed thus increases the money supply by 150/10 = $15 billion.
This will have the total effect of 150 billion on the whole thus achieving the Fed's objectives.
Hope that helps.
Answer:
$10,950 Unfavorable
Explanation:
For computation of flexible budget variance for total costs first we need to find out the standard cost which is shown below:-
Standard cost = (Sold connectors × budgeted variable costs) + Fixed costs per month
= (77 × $150) + $5,500
= $11,550 + $5,500
= $17,050
Flexible budget variance for total costs = Actual cost - Standard cost
= $28,000 - $17,050
= $10,950 Unfavorable
Answer:
The correct option is A,5.72 times
Explanation:
The number of times that interest charges gives a sense of how financial stable is in its ability to pay interest on bonds as at when due.It is key consideration for prospective bondholders when assessing whether to buy bonds in a particular company
Number of times interest charges earned=net income before interest/interest
net income before interest charges=net income+interest charges
net income is $340,000
interest charges=$1,200,000*6%=$72,000
net income before interest charges=$340,000+$72,000=$412,000
number of times interest was earned=$412,000/$72,000=5.72
Answer:
The correct answer would be option C, $26000
Explanation:
There are a lot of costs associated with the production, Advertisement, Sales, etc of a product. These costs acts as the overheads for the company. If there is a cost which cannot be capitalized into Inventory, Prepaid expenses, or fixed assets, it is called as the Period Cost. Good examples of Period costs are Advertisement expenses, Selling Expenses, etc.
In the given question, Office Rent is the such type of a cost which cannot be capitalized into above mentioned accounts. Office Rent comes under the period cost category. So the correct answer is $26000.
