Answer:

$200 billion

Explanation:

Given that,

Marginal propensity to consume, MPC = 0.8

Real GDP currently being demanded = $14 trillion

Government wants to increase real GDP demanded to $15 trillion.

Multiplier:

=\frac{1}{1 - MPC}

=\frac{1}{1 - 0.8}

= 5

Government wants to increase real GDP by:

= $15 trillion - $14 trillion

= $1 trillion

Therefore, the government has to increase spending:

=\frac{1}{multiplier}\times Desired\ increase\ in\ real\ GDP

=\frac{1}{5}\times 1 trillion

= 0.2 × $1 trillion

= $200 billion

Last year Harrington Inc. had sales of $325,000 and a net income of $19,000, and its year-end assets were $250,000. The firm's t
anzhelika [568]

Answer:

8.94%

Explanation:

Firstly, we will need to find total equity and total debt of Harrington Inc inorder to apply the Dupont equation for getting ROE

Harrington's total debt = 15.00 % × $250,000

= $37,500

Harrington's total equity will be; applying accounting equation

Asset = Liabilities + Owner's equity

Owner's equity = Assets - Liabilities

= $250,000 - $37,500

= $212,500

Therefore, using the Dupont equation, we can calculate the ROE as;

(NI/Sales) × (Sales/Total assets) × (Total assets/Total common equity)

= 19,000/325,000 × 325,000 /250,000 × 250,000/212,500

= 8.94%

Which of the following describes the substitution effect of a price change?A) The change in demand that results from a change in
Liula [17]

Answer:

The answer is D. The change in quantity demanded of a good that results from a change in price, making the good more or less expensive relative to other goods, holding constant the effect of the price change on consumer purchasing power

Explanation:

Substitution effect is a concept in which, as the price of a good or service increases, less of the good or service is substituted for other less expensive.

For example, if the price of Pepsi were to rise, the substitution effect would cause the consumer to buy less of it and substitute more coca-cola for now relatively more expensive Pepsi.

Option A. is wrong because we are talking about the quantity demanded and not just demand. (Please take note).
