Answer:

The marginal propensity to consume is <u>92 percent</u>.

Explanation:

Marginal propensity to consume (MPC) refers to the additional expenditure on consumption by consumer as a result of an in national income.

That is, MPC is a measure of the proportion or percentage of the additional income that goes consumption expenditure.

MPC can be calculated using the following formula

MPC = ΔC / ΔY ......................................... (1)

Where;

ΔC = Change in consumption = New consumption - Old consumption = $1,168 - $800 = $368

ΔY = Change in income = New income - Old income = $1,400 - $1,000 = $400

Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:

MPC = $368 / $400 = 0.92, or 92%

Therefore, the marginal propensity to consume is <u>92 percent</u>.

After a product recall triggered by salmonella contamination and repeated violation citations by the health department, Mc Burge
Julli [10]

Answer:

McBurger Inc.

Introduction of Healthylicious-n-Safe

I think that McBurger should launch this new product.  If McBurger can capture more than 28% of the meatless burger market, it can break-even in 12 months and start earning huge profits in 18 months when there will be nil promotion costs.

Explanation:

Annual projected market sales of meatless burger = 1,250,000 boxes

Content of each box of Healthylicious-n-Safe = 8 burgers

Fixed cost per month = $35,000

Total annual fixed cost = $420,000 ($35,000 * 12)

Estimated variable cost of making one burger = $0.875

Estimated variable cost of a box of 8 burgers = $7 ($0.875 * 8)

Cost of promotional campaign in the first 12 months = $275,000

Total annual fixed cost including promotions = $695,000

Expected selling price per box of Healthylicious-n-Safe = $9

Estimated variable cost per box of Healthylicious-n-Safe    7

Contribution margin per box of Healthylicious-n-Safe =   $2

Sales units required to break-even = Total fixed costs/Contribution margin per box

= $695,000/$2 = 347,500 boxes

This sales units break-even point represents 27.8% of the meatless burger market (347,500/1,250,000 * 100)

                    For the year ended December 31, 2017

Sales (5,000 drums × $350)      $1,750,000

Less: Variable cost

Plastic for casing -$185,000

Wages of assembly workers $510,000

Drum stands $230,000

Variable selling costs

Sales commissions $175,000

Total variable cost                                         -$1,100,000

Contribution margin                                        $650,000

Fixed manufacturing costs

Taxes on factory $5,000

Factory maintenance $10,000

Factory machinery depreciation $70,000

Fixed selling and administrative costs

Lease of equipment for sales staff $10,000

Accounting staff salaries $60,000

Administrative management salaries $140,000

Total fixed cost                                                          -$295,000

Net operating income                                                 $355,000

Less: income tax expense at 25%                             -$88,750

Net income                                                                   $266,250

We simply deduct the variable cost and fixed cost from the sales revenue so that the net operating income could come and then deducted the income tax expense so that net income could arrive
