rodikova [14]

Answer: $460 billion, but the effect would be larger if there were an investment accelerator.

Explanation:

If the MPC = 0.75 and there is no investment accelerator or crowding out, then a $115 billion increase in the government expenditures would result in the shift in the aggregate demand curve right by:

= $115 billion ÷ (1 - 0.75)

= $115 billion ÷ 0.25

= $115 billion × 1/0.25

= $115 billion / 0.25

= $460 billion.

Therefore, there'll be a shift in the aggregate demand curve right by $460 billion, but the effect would be larger if there were an investment accelerator

Suppose that the bond market and the money market both start out in equilibrium, then the Federal Reserve increases the money su

Trava [24]

Answer:

b) surplus; shortage; up; fall

Explanation:

If the bond market and money market start out at equillibrum, and money supply is increased there will be an excess (surplus) of money over bonds.

That is more money to buy less bonds. The relative scarcity of bonds will result in a shortage (bond supply cannot meet demand).

As a result of the shortage price of bonds will increase because more people are looking for the scarce bonds.

Price of bonds has an inverse relationship with interest. As price increases interest rates will fall.

For example consider a zero coupon bond of $1,000, being sold for low price of $850. On maturity it will yield gain of $150.

If the price rises to $950 the yield will only be $50.

So as price increases and interest (yield) decreases, it will no more be attractive to investors and demand will reduce to meet the available supply of bonds.

The following information is available for Cheyenne Corp..

Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

(a) Earnings per share for 2022 and 2021 for Cheyenne are as follows:

Earnings per share for 2002 = $1.21

Earnings per share for 2001 = $1.10

(b) The current ratio and debt to assets ratio for each year are as follows:

Current ratio for 2002 = 2.40

Current ratio for 2001 = 1.25

Debt to assets ratio for 2002 = 29%

Debt to assets ratio for 2001 = 41%

(c) Free cash flow for each year are as follows:

Free cash flow for 2002 = $63,000

Free cash flow for 2001 = $44,000

Explanation:

(a) Compute earnings per share for 2022 and 2021 for Cheyenne. (Round Earnings per share to 2 decimal places, e.g. $2.78.)

These can be calculated using the following formula:

Earnings per share = (Net income - Preferred dividends) / Average shares outstanding ..................... (1)

Where;

Average common shares outstanding = (Common shares outstanding at beginning of year + Common shares outstanding at end of year) / 2

Using equation (1), we have:

Earnings per share for 2002 = (81,700 - 9,705) / ((42,000 + 77,000) / 2) = $1.21

Earnings per share for 2001 = (51,615 - 9,705) / ((31,700 + 44,500) / 2) = $1.10

(b) Compute the current ratio and debt to assets ratio for each year. (Round ratio answers to 2 decimal places, e.g. 15.25 and percentage answers to 0 decimal places, e.g. 15%.)

These can be calculated using the following formula:

Current ratio = Current assets / Current liabilities ................... (2)

Debt to assets ratio = (Total liabilities / Total assets) * 100 .............. (3)

Using equation (2), we have:

Current ratio for 2002 = 56,880 / 23,700 = 2.40

Current ratio for 2001 = 39,625 / 31,700 = 1.25

Using equation (3), we have:

Debt to assets ratio for 2002 = (70,180 / 242,000) * 100 = 29%

Debt to assets ratio for 2001 = (84,870 / 207,000) * 100 = 41%

(c) Compute free cash flow for each year.

These can be calculated using the following formula:

Free cash flow = Net cash provided by operating activities - Expenditures on property, plant, and equipment .................(4)

Using equation (4), we have:

Free cash flow for 2002 = $91,700 - $28,700 = $63,000

Free cash flow for 2001 = $57,700 - $13,700 = $44,000
