Explanation:
a. The computation is shown below:
As we know that
Multiplier = 1 ÷ 1 - MPC
1.5 = 1 ÷ 1 - MPC
So, MPC is 0.3333
Now the real GDP is
= Multiplier × Government spending
= 0.3333 × $70 billion
= $105 million
So the change in real GDP is
= $105 million - $70 million
= $35 million
b. The computation is shown below:
As we know that
Multiplier = 1 ÷ 1 - MPC
Multiplier = 1 ÷ 1 - 0.6
So, multiplier is 2.5
Now the real GDP is
= Multiplier × Government spending
= 2.5 × $16 billion
= -$40 million
c. As we know that
Real GDP = Multiplier × Government spending
$280 billion = Multiplier × $70 billion
So, the multiplier is 4
Now the MPC is
Multiplier = 1 ÷ 1 - MPC
4 = 1 ÷ 1 - MPC
So, the multiplier is 0.75
Answer:
Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= $7.53 per direct labor hour
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
The company's executives estimated that direct labor would be $5,130,000 (190,000 hours at $27/hour) and that factory overhead would be $1,430,000 for the current period.
We need to use the following formula:
Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= 1,430,000/190,000= $7.53 per direct labor hour
