Answer: Marginal propensity to consume = $0.60

              Spending multiplier = $2.5

Explanation: The MPC can be calculated using following equation :-

MPC=\frac{change\:in\:consumption}{change\:in\:spending}

MPC=\frac{\$0.60}{\$1}

               = 0.60

Similarly, we can calculate spending multiplier as :-

Spending\:multiplier\:=\:\frac{1}{1-MPC}

Spending\:multiplier\:=\:\frac{1}{1-0.60}

                                            = $2.5

LO 3.4A company sells two products, Model 101 and Model 202. For every one unit of Model 101, they sell they sell two units of M
dexar [7]

Answer:

The sales mix is 1:2.

                           Model 101          Model 102

Selling Price                       21             56

Variable Cost              -14            -35

Contribution Per Unit       7               21

Multiply Sales Mix Ratio       1               2

Weighted Contribution       7                      42

Now add the weighted Contribution to compute Contribution margin per composite unit which is 7+42=$49

Explanation:

I assumed that the cost and selling price here for Model 101 is $14 and $21 respectively. Similarly the cost and selling price of Model 102 is $35 and $56 respectively.

Remember that Contribution margin per composite unit means that we will earn 49 dollars(combined contribution of sales mix) if we sell the sale mix of Model 101 and 102 which is 1:2.

Regardless of the inventory costing system used, cost of goods available for sale must be allocated at the end of the period bet
MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

The correct answer is ending inventory and cost of goods sold

Explanation:

Cost of goods available for sale is defined as the maximum amount of the inventory or the goods which the company could possibly sell during the fiscal or accounting period.

The cost of goods which are available for sale need to be allocated among the cost of goods sold and the ending inventory at the end of the year, where the cost of goods equals to the cost of goods available for sale subtract the ending inventory.

Suppose the price of tomatoes falls, ceteris paribus. Describe the impact the substitution effect and the real income effect wou
mamaluj [8]

Answer:

Ceteris paribus assumption: Demand curves relate the prices and quantities demanded assuming no other factors change

Explanation:

Ceteris paribus is a  Latin phrase meaning “other things being equal”. If all else is not held equal, then the laws of supply and demand will not necessarily hold.

Demand is the amount of some product a consumer is willing and able to purchase at each price.

IMPACT THE SUBSTITUTION EFFECT AND THE REAL INCOME

A substitute is a good or service that can be used in place of another good or service. A lower price for a substitute decreases demand for the other product and increases the quantity demanded for tomatoes

A change in the price of a good or service causes a movement along a specific demand curve, and it typically leads to some change in the quantity demanded, but it does not shift the demand curve.
