Answer:
Multiplier effect in the 4th round = 3.58
Explanation:
A change in aggregate demand can create a much greater impact in the equilibrium national income. This is known as the multiplier effect. This occurs when injections of new demand for goods and services into the circular flow of income creates further rounds of spending. For example, if the government spending was on building new affordable houses then the need for housing materials will create demand for wood, cement and other housing supplies. Thus, these businesses will see a rise in sales. Whilst they benefit through profits, their employees would benefit from wages and salaries. As their income rises, they will spend it in the economy, and so will the businesses from their profits. This additional rounds of spending is the multiplier effect.
If a 100 increase creates 33 for the second round, it is 33% (33/100 x 100) i.e. 100 x 33% = 33
This is proven since 33 x 33% = 10.89 in the third round.
Hence, the multiplier effect in the forth round = 10.89 x 33% = 3.58
Answer:
The correct answer is option e.
Explanation:
The GDP of a country is the value of final goods and services produced in the geographical boundaries of a nation in a year. It does not include the value of intermediate goods produced. This is because it may lead to double counting. So the value of intermediate goods is included as a part of the value of the final good. It also does not include the value of services provided by homemakers.
Financial transactions such as purchase and sale of stocks and shares are not included. This is because it does not involve the production of any good or service. Sale of second-hand goods is also not included because of the problem of double counting.
Answer: Direct materials quantity variance.
Explanation:
Direct Material quantity variance is the difference between the actual quantity of materials used in production and the standard quantity that was supposed to be used, multiplied by the standard price of the material.
It is a method that checks the company's efficiency is being able to use raw materials to produce goods. If the Actual quantity needed is greater than the Standard quantity, this will be considered an Unfavorable Variance and mean that the company was not efficient in using the materials.
Causes of this can be low quality of materials and inadequate employee training.
Answer:
$4.50
Explanation:
In order to make a profit from the futures contracts, it would be appropriate to take a long position in the June futures contract(buy) and take a short position in the December futures contract.
The investor would borrow $60 today which would necessitate paying back $60 plus a half-year in interest payment.
loan repayment=$60*(1+5%/2)=$ 61.50
In December, sell crude oil at $66 and repay the loan principal and interest
profit=$66-$61.50=$4.50
Answer:
D) Overhead was underapplied by $4,000.
Explanation:
Overhead is underapplied when the actual balance in the manufacturing overhead control account is larger than the balance in the applied manufacturing overhead account.
In this case, the balance of the manufacturing overhead control is $124,000 while the balance of the applied manufacturing overhead account is $120,000. This means that actual overhead costs were $4,000 higher than budgeted.
