Answer:

25%

Explanation:

The contribution margin ratio is shown below:

Contribution margin ratio = (Contribution margin) ÷ (Sales volume) × 100

where,

Contribution margin = Sales revenue - variable cost

The variable cost is = $799,000 × 75% = $599,250

And, the sales revenue is $799,000

So, the contribution margin is

= $799,000 - $599,250

= $199,750

And, Contribution margin ratio = (Contribution margin) ÷ (Sales revenue) × 100

= $199,750 ÷ $799,000

= 25%

In a small, closed economy, national income (GDP) is $ 400.00 million for the current quarter. Individuals have spent $ 150.00 m

Mashcka [7]

Answer:

The amount spent in this economy in the said quarter is $100,000,000.00

Explanation:

However, in closed economies what it simply means is that there are no exports and imports.

Investment (I) = business investment plus residential investment plus inventory investment. Government Purchases (G) = general government consumption plus general government investment. Net Exports (NE) = exports minus imports plus net tourism.

∴ to calculate the amount of money spent on this closed economy, I will use the Expenditure Approach formula for GDP and make Investment the subject of the formula which is

GDP formula is used which states that total output/GDP (Y) is equal to Consumption (C) + Investment (I) + Government Spending (G) + Net exports (NX). Where net exports is exports (X) minus imports (M): NX = X – M.

Where:

GDP (Y) = C + I + G + (X-M)

Where:

GDP (Y) = $400,000,000.00

C = $150,000,000.00

I = 0

G = $150,000,000.00

(X-M) = 0

GDP (Y) = C + I + G + (X-M) =

$400,000,000.00 = $150,000,000.00 + (I) + 150,000,000.00 + (X-M)

Making (I) the subject of the Formula

GDP- C -G = I

∴ $400,000,000.00 - $150,000,000.00 - $150,000,000.00 = I

∴ $400,000,000.00 - $300,000,000.00

= $100,000,000.00

The amount spent in this economy in the said quarter

= $100,000,000.00.

Note: I did not add the Tax because I used the Expenditure approach method which does not include the tax values while the Income Approach method does include it but excludes Export and Import values.

The College Bookstore sells a unique calculator to college students. The demand for this calculator has a normal distribution wi

Strike441 [17]

Answer:

Option (A) is correct.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mean daily demand, M = 20 calculators per day

Standard deviation, SD = 4 calculators per day

Lead time for this calculator, L = 9 days

z-critical value (for 95% in-stock probability) = 1.65 (From z tables)

Normal consumption during lead-time:

= Mean daily demand × Lead time

= 20 × 9

= 180 units of calculator

Safety Stock = z value × SD × L^(0.5)

= 1.65 × 4 × (9)^(0.5)

= 1.65 × 4 × 3

= 19.8 units

Reorder Point = Normal consumption during lead-time + Safety Stock

= 180 units + 19.8 units

= 199.8 or 200 units (Approx)
