Answer:

$50 billion

Explanation:

The net effect on aggregate demand of the additional investment spending will be derived by multiplying the increased spending by the Multiplier.

Multiplier = \frac{1}{1-MPC} = \frac{1}{MPS}

Where MPC is the marginal propensity to consumer, and

MPS, the marginal propensity to save.

Therefore the multiplier = \frac{1}{1-0.6} =\frac{1}{0.4} = 2.5

Accordingly, the increase in aggregate demand as a result of the increase in the investment

= 2.5 * $20 billion

= $50 billion

You are considering acquiring a common stock that you would like to hold for one year. You expect to receive both $1.25 in divid
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

The maximum that should be paid for the stock today is $30.23.

Explanation:

The total return on a stock is made up of dividend received on the stock plus the capital gain received from selling the stock. The holding period is one year that means a 10% return on the amount invested in required for one year. We need to calculate the present value of the total of selling price plus the dividend to calculate the price of the stock today. As 10% return is required, the discount rate is also 10%.

PV = (1.25 + 32) / 1.1

PV = 30.227 rounded off to 30.23

Explain what lower of cost or market means in regards to reporting merchandise inventory on the balance sheet.
Degger [83]

Answer and Explanation:

Inventory is an asset and is posted on the asset side of the balance sheet. As per accounting standards regarding inventory valuation, it can be either valued at historical cost or at market price, whichever is lower.

Historical cost is the cost at which asset was acquired. Market price is the price which would be received if the asset is replaced as on the date on which balance sheet is prepared. Inventory is valued at lower of the above mentioned costs.
