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

irina [24]

Answer:

Total Paid in capital = $81100

Total paid in capital and retained earnings = $124800

Total Stockholder's equity are = $114460

Explanation:

given data

Common Stock  = $12 par value 5200 shares

shares issued =  $62400

Paid-in Capital  = $18700

Retained Earnings = $43700

Treasury Stock  470 shares = $10340

to find out

stockholders' equity section of the balance sheet

solution

we get first Total Paid in capital that is

Total Paid in capital = shares issued  + Paid-in Capital   ..............1

Total Paid in capital = $62400  + $18700

Total Paid in capital = $81100

and

Total paid in capital and retained earnings = Total Paid in capital + Retained Earnings    .................2

Total paid in capital and retained earnings = $81100 + $43700

Total paid in capital and retained earnings = $124800

and

so Total Stockholder's equity are = Total paid in capital and retained earnings - Treasury stock   ..................3

Total Stockholder's equity are = $124800 - $10340

Total Stockholder's equity are = $114460

Let A equal the reported inventory value if the lower-of-cost-or-market rule is applied to individual items of inventory while B
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

The correct answer is A will always be equal to or less than B.

Explanation:

In general terms, inventory is valued in terms of cost. But there must be a deviation from the cost basis of the inventory valuation and it must be reduced below cost when the utility of the goods has decreased and its sale product or item value will be less than its cost.

The decrease in the value of inventory below cost can be due to different causes, such as physical deterioration, obsolescence, a drop in the price level, etc. In these situations, the inventory is recorded at its market value. The difference in value (cost-to-market value) is recognized as a loss for the current period. It should be understood that the market value of the inventory must be estimated since the inventory has in fact not been sold. As a general rule, the concept of market value is used in terms of the current replacement cost of inventory, that is, what it will currently cost to purchase or manufacture the item.
