Answer:
$120 billion
Explanation:
Economy operating at $300 billion above its natural level of output.
Marginal propensity to consume, MPC = 3/5 = 0.6
For closing this expansionary gap, the government have to decrease its spending by the amount calculated as follows:
Spending multiplier:
= 1/ (1 - MPC)
= 1/ (1 - 0.6)
= 1/ 0.4
= 2.5
Hence, the government spending reduces by
= Expansionary gap ÷ Spending multiplier
= $300 ÷ 2.5
= $120 billion
Answer:
$102
Explanation:
FUTA tax due from Willow Corporation for 2019, after the credit for state unemployment taxes, can be calculated by deducting the Paid state unemployment tax by the FUTA tax.
DATA
Paid State Unemployment Tax = (7,000+7,000+3,000) x 5.4%
Paid State Unemployment Tax = $918
FUTA tax rate in 2019 = 6%
Solution
FUTA tax (6% x $17,000) = $1,020
FUTA tax due = $1,020 - $918
FUTA tax due = $102
Answer:
7.56%
Explanation:
Calculation for the required return for Smiling Elephant
Using this formula
Required return =D/P0
Where,
D=$6.10
P0=$80.65
Let plug in the formula
Required return =$6.10/$80.65
Required return =0.0756×100
Required return =7.56%
Therefore the Required return for Smiling Elephant Inc will be 7.56%
Answer:
a.
3.51%
b.
0%
Explanation:
a.
First, we need to calculate the YTM of 6 months zero-coupon bond by using the following formula
Price = Face value / ( 1 + YTM )^numbers of years
96.79 = 100 / ( 1 + YTM )^1
1 + YTM = 100 / 96.79
1 + YTM = 1.0331646
Now calculate the YTM of 1 Year zero-coupon bond
93.51 = 100 / ( 1 + YTM )^1
YTM = 1.0331646 - 1
YTM = 0.0331646
YTM = 3.31646%
YTM = 3.316%
1 + YTM = 100 / 93.51
1 + YTM = 1.06940
YTM = 1.06940 - 1
YTM = 0.06940
YTM = 6.940%
YTM = 6.94%
Hence the forward rate is calculated as follow
Forward rate = [ (1 + YTM of 1 year zero coupon bond ) / ( 1 + YTM of 6 months year zero coupon bond ) ] - 1 = ( 1 + 6.94% ) / ( 1 + 3.316% ) = [ 1.0694 / 1.03316 ] - 1 = 1.03508 - 1 = 0.03508 = 3.508% = 3.51%
b.
At the time of inception the formward rate is 0.
Answer:
$82000
Explanation:
Gross income is defined as the total sum of money received (salary, wages, rents, interests and other form of earnings) that an individual or a household receive before any deductions or taxes. Hence,
Given that
Salary = 22000
Alimony = 10000
Punitive damage = 50000
Gross income = 22000 + 10000 + 50000
= $82000
The child support and compensatory damages are not added because they are not taxable.
