Answer:

The MPC is 0.8

The multiplier or k is 5

The increase in income would be $20 million.

Explanation:

The marginal propensity to consume (MPC) is the proportion of increased disposable income that consumers spend. It is a metric to quantify the induced consumption and how an increase in consumer spending occurs as a result of increase in income.

MPC is calculated as follows,

MPC = Change in consumer spending / change in income

MPC = 240 / 300

MPC = 0.8 or 80%

To calculate the multiplier, we simply use the following formula,

Multiplier or k = 1 / (1 - MPC)

k = 1 / (1 - 0.8)

k = 5

So, the expenditure multiplier for the economy would be 5.

To calculate the increase in income, we will multiply the investment amount by the expenditure multiplier.

Income increase = 4000000 * 5

Income increase = $20000000 or 20 million

Explanation:

The journal entry is shown below:

Bonds payable A/c Dr $60,000

Premium on bonds payable A/c Dr $10,000

To Common stock A/c $45,000

To Paid in capital in excess of par A/c $25,000

(Being the conversion of bonds is recorded)

The computation is shown below:

For bonds payable

= sixty $1,000 convertible bonds

That means

= 60 × $1,000

= $60,000

For Premium on bonds payable:

= $70,000 - $60,000

= $10,000

For Common stock:

= 9,000 shares × $5

= $45,000

And, the remaining balance is credited to paid in capital in excess of par

Following the information given in the question, Vinfast Co. receives $3,600 cash from FPT Co. for consulting services to be provided evenly over the period November 1, 2021, to April 30, 2022.

= $1200

Therefore, there'll be a debit to the unearned consulting Fees for $1,200. Also, there'll be a credit to the consulting fees earned account by $1200.
