Answer:

option (B) 35 years

Explanation:

Given:

Real per capita GDP of Sweden = $50,000

Real per capita GDP of Chile = $25,000

Growth rate of Sweden = 2%

Growth rate of Chile = 4%

As per the Rule of 70, the economy's GDP doubles in \frac{\textup{70}}{\textup{Growth rate}}

Therefore,

The GDP of Sweden will double in = \frac{\textup{70}}{\textup{2}} = 35 years

and,

Chile will double in \frac{\textup{70}}{\textup{4}} = 17.5 years

Therefore,

in 35 years the GDP of Sweden will be $100,000

and,

In 35 years the GDP of Chile will also be ($50,000 in 17.5 years and $100,000 in next 17.5 years) = $100,000

Therefore,

The real GDP per capita in the two nations to converge in 35 years

Hence,

At first we have to find the original net income.

                              Shelhorse Corporation

              Contribution format income statement

              For the year ended, December 31, 20YY

Sales Revenue (6,100 × $260) = $1,586,000

Less: Variable expense (6,100 × $91) = $555,100

Contribution Margin = $1,030,900

Less: Fixed Expense  $366,000

Net Operating Income = $664,900

Requirement 2

As the marketing manager believes that a $23,000 increase in the monthly advertising budget would result in a 150 unit increase in monthly sales, the new sales volume = 6,100 + 150 = 6,250 and new fixed expense = $366,000 + $23,000 = $389,000

                          Shelhorse Corporation

              Contribution format income statement

              For the year ended, December 31, 20YY

Sales Revenue (6,250 × $260) = $1,625,000

Contribution Margin = $1,056,250

Less: Fixed Expense  = $389,000

Net Operating Income = $667,250

The effect on the company's monthly net operating income of this change =  $667,250 - $664,900 = $2,350
