Answer:

A) since the U.S. has a fractional-reserve banking system, the amount of money in the economy depends in part on the behavior of depositors and bankers.

Explanation:

Since US banks operate under a fractional reserve banking system, they have the capacity to create money through the money multiplier, e.g. you deposit $1,000 in bank A, then bank A borrows $850 to Steven and he purchases a new bike from Sarah. Then Sarah deposits the money in bank B, and bank B borrows $722 to George who buys a laptop from Henry. Henry then deposits the money in bank C, and bank C borrows $614 to Susan, and this goes on and on.

The problem that the Fed faces is that in order for the fractional reserve system to work, households must hold their money in banks. Ans that is something that the government cannot control, specially the amount or portion that is deposited. The other players are banks, that ideally should borrow all the money that they are allowed to.

                                                         $                               $

Sales                                          295704                       444

Less Variable Costs                  (138084)                      (311)

Contribution                               157620                        133

Fixed Costs                                 (59850)                     89.86

Net Income                                  97770                       43.14

Part c

Billing`s break even point is 450 units

Part d

                                    Billing Company

     CVP Income for as at September 2017 - Break Even Point

                                                      Total                      Per Unit

                                                         $                               $

Sales                                           199800                       444

Less Variable Costs                  (139950)                      (311)

Contribution                                59850                        133

Net Income                                       0                              0

Explanation:

Part a

Contribution Margin = Contribution/Sales × 100

Therefore contribution margin is  ($444-$311)/$444 * 100 = 29.95% (2 d.p)

Part b

Sales - Variable Cost = Contribution

Net Income  =   Contribution - Total Fixed Costs                            

Part c

Break Even Point is when Billings neither makers a profit or loss.

Break Even Point ( Units) = Total Fixed Cost/Contribution per unit

Therefore Break Even Point (Units) = $59850/$133 = 450 units

Part d

The total and unit CVP should neither reflect a profit or loss at a capacity of 450 units as this is the break even point. In this case profit = nill

When​ Alex's income increased from ​$2,000 to ​$4,000​, he increased his consumption of bagels from 6 to 10 a month and decrease
Oliga [24]

Answer:

For Bagels = 1.33

For Donuts = -1.33

Explanation:

Using the midpoint method, Alex's percentage change in income is given by the difference in income divided by the average income:

\%I =\frac{\$4,000-\$2,000}{\frac{\$4,000+\$2,000}{2}}\\\%I=66.67\%

Alex's percentage change in demand for both bagels and donuts is given by the difference in the quantity consumed divided by the average consumption:

\%B =\frac{10-6}{\frac{10+6}{2}}\\\%B=50.00\%\\\%D =\frac{9-15}{\frac{15+9}{2}}\\\%D=-50.00\%

Alex's income elasticity of demand for bagels and donuts, respectively, is:

E_B=\frac{\%I}{\%B}=\frac{66.67\%}{50\%} \\E_B=1.33\\\\E_D=\frac{\%I}{\%D}=\frac{66.67\%}{-50\%} \\E_D=-1.33

His income elasticity of demand for bagels is 1.33, while for Donuts it is  -1.33.

Your manager wants you to evaluate the difference in cycle time between three different offices. Describe the steps you would ta
oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer:

Cycle time is the shortest period taken to generate a portion of it. It is a time of repeatability. Going to measure order cycle assists in testing operating performance and solecism.

It recognises places in which it needs improvement and adjustment. When evaluating the processing time of 3 distinct headquarters, this will help in understanding the periods and identify areas where every office does not have a job, suggesting reactions to stay at correct margins of operations.

          Measuring operating cycle would include using such a kanban system to note down processes right from taking information from a consumer to the time required for the completed goods to be successful to the consumer. To calculate the period the loop is efficient. What will also be addressed is not whether nonworking times even including holidays will be factored.

The three offices' cycle period should enable the leader evaluate their success all around. Calculated and measured cycle period, the chief may recommend corrective steps and map out a strategy to take benefit of an office 's smaller cycles time relative to another, optimising income and-costs.
