Answer:The answer is $134billion

Explanation:

Initial increase in spending = $20billion

Marginal propensity to consume = 0.85

To calculate increase in spending, we use the formula for multiplier

K = 1 / 1 - MPC

K = 1 / 1 - 0.85

K = 1/ 0.15

K = 6.66

K = 6.7 approximately

To calculate how much the spending increase

We use the formula

K = change in national income / change in government spending

6.7 = change in national income / $20 billion

We cross multiply

Change in national income = 6.7 × $20billion

Change in national income = 134billion

Therefore the total spending increase by $134billion

A stockbroker predicts whether a stock will go up or down by tossing a coin and so has a 50% chance of making a correct predicti
kolezko [41]

Answer:

A skilled  broker will be right at  60% of time compared to 50%

Explanation:

Solution

Given that:

Now,

Let X  be represented as = number of correct predictions/outcomes

X foll binomial distribution with n = 3 and p = 0.5 for broker who use a toss coin

Thus,

P(X = 3) = p^3 = 0.5^3 which gives us  = 0.125

So,

For a skilled broker, Y goes with the binomial distribution with n = 3 and p is = 0.6

Then,

P(Y = 3) = 0.6^3 = 0.216

We can therefore conclude who is skilled broker by making large number of observations

Hence, we say that a skilled broker will be correct 60% of time compared to 50% .

Lexington Company

Net cash flow from financing activities

Particulars                                                   Amount

Cash received from common stock           $650

Less:Cash paid for repayment of loan        ($1,405)

Ahngram Corp. has 1,000 defective units of a product that cost $3.30 per unit in direct costs and $6.80 per unit in indirect cos
OLga [1]

Answer:

If the units are reworked, income will increase by $5,800.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Number of units= 1,000

Sell as-is= $4.3

Rework cost= $2.8

Selling price= $12.9

<u>Because the original cost will remain constant in both options, we will not take them into account.</u>

Sell as-is:

Effect on income= 1,000*4.3= $4,300

Rework:

Effect on income= 1,000*(12.9 - 2.8)

Effect on income= $10,100

If the units are reworked, income will increase by $5,800.
