The question is incomplete. The complete question is stated below.

If the marginal propensity to consume is equal to 0.85, then a $500 increase in disposable income leads to a:

a. $400 increase in consumption spending

b. $75 increase in consumption spending

c. $425 increase in personal saving

d. $75 increase in personal saving

Answer:

If a $500 increase causes an increase of $425 in consumer spending, the rest of $75 is the increase in personal saving. Thus, option D is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The marginal propensity to consume or MPC is the percentage of the additional income that will be used for consumption spending. It is a concept that is used to calculate how much of an increase in income will be used in consumption and saving. The formula to calculate MPC is,

MPC = Change in consumer spending / Change in income

0.85 = Change in consumer spending / 500

500 * 0.85 = Change in consumer spending

Change in consumer spending = $425

If a $500 increase causes an increase of $425 in consumer spending, the rest of $75 is the increase in personal saving.

Synovec Co. is growing quickly. Dividends are expected to grow at a rate of 20 percent for the next three years, with the growth
user100 [1]

Answer:

The  current share price is $71.05

Explanation:

P3 = D3(1 + g)/(R – g)

    = D0[(1 + g1)^3](1 + g2)/(R – g)

    = [$1.45*(1.20)^3(1.08)]/(0.11 – 0.08)  

    = $90.20

The price of the stock today is the PV of the first three dividends, plus the PV of the Year 3 stock price given by:  

P0 = $1.45(1.20)/1.11 + $1.45[(1.20)^2]/1.112 + $1.45[(1.20)^3]/1.113 + $90.20/1.113

    = 1.568 + 1.695 + 1.832 + 65.958

    = $71.05

Therefore, The  current share price is $71.05

Answer:

Bribery in the world of business typically happens when an organization or representative of an organization gives financial benefits to an official to gain favor or manipulate a business decision - True.

Bribery is the giving or offering of items of value (especially money) to a government official in exchange for favorable treatment. Bribing is unethical and illegal, but it is common practice in many countries, so common that it is expected.

The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act was implemented in the aftermath of disclosures that businesses were violating the IMA Code of Ethics - True.

In the seventies, U.S. Government investigations found that hundreds of U.S. companies operating abroad had turned to bribery in order to gain the favor of foreing officials. This conduct is related to the statement explained above: bribery is pervasive in many countries around the world.

Managers are required to follow specific rules issued by the IMA for internal financial reporting. - False.

The IMA Code of Ethics does not provide specific rules for financial reporting (these specific rules are found instead either in the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) or in the or in the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS)).

The IMA Code of Ethics instead provides principles, or ethical guidelines, to be followed by participants in the management accounting profession.

Ethics is more than obeying laws - True.

Ethics goes beyond what is legally right, and is more related to what is morally right. An ethical person should do the right thing even if there is no legal code explicitely telling him to do so.

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act addressed public company accounting reform. - True

This act added requirements for public accounting firms, and included legal penalties including possible jail time for certain types of misconduct. The Act was enacted following major accounting scandals such as Enron.

current risk premium = 2.8/2 = 1.4%

Current risk free bond yields 7.8 %
