Answer:

c. Increase by $0.1 trillion

Explanation:

Investment spending Multiplier is a concept in economics that measure how a given change in investment increases output. So if current output of $13.5 trillion must increase to $14 trillion, we employ the multiplier formula to derive what amount of investment spending is needed to get $o.5trillion increase in output.

(change in output)/ (change in investment) = 1/(1-mpc)

Note that mpc means marginal propensity to consume.

Let change in investment = X

change in output = 14 - 13.5 = $0.5trillion

mpc = 0.8

(0.5)/X = 1(1-0,8)

0.5/X = 1/0.2

cross multiply

X = 0.1

Thus the needed change in investment is an increase of $0.1 trillion. In other words, if investment increases by $0.1 trillion, current output will increase from $13.5 trillion to $14 trillion.

You are considering opening a donut restaurant aimed primarily at the breakfast market. You plan to sell donuts, coffee, and oth
stich3 [128]

Answer:

Donuts= 28,571

Explanation:

<u>First, we need to determine the sale proportion of each product:</u>

Other items= 2/5= 0.4

Coffe= 2/5= 0.4

Donut= 1/5= 0.2

<u>Now, we can calculate the break-even point in units for the company as a whole:</u>

Break-even point (units)= Total fixed costs / Weighted average contribution margin

Break-even point (units)= 100,000 / (0.5*0.2 + 0.5*0.4 + 1*0.4)

Break-even point (units)= 100,000 / 0.7

Break-even point (units)= 142,857 units

<u>Now, the number of donuts:</u>

<u />

Donuts= 0.2*142,857

Donuts= 28,571
