To find the answer, we first calculate the multiplier.

By using the equation,

ms= 1 ÷ (1 – MPC)

MPC = marginal propensity to consume = 0.8

ms= 1 ÷ (1 – MPC) = 1 ÷ (1 - 0.8)

= 5

Thus, the multiplier is 5.

An increase in government spending = $600 billion

Now, multiplied $600 billion by the multiplier, which is 5.

$600 billion x 5

= $3,000

Thus, the answer is $3,000 billion increase in real GDP.

A governmental fund Statement of Revenues, Expenditures, and Changes in Fund Balances reported expenditures of $30 million, incl
Gala2k [10]

Answer:

Increase of $1 million.

Explanation:

Depreciation expense = (Capital assets cost - Land cost) ÷ Average Years

                                     = (90 - 10) ÷ 20

                                     = $4 million

Reconciliation from governmental changes in fund balances to governmental activities changes in net assets would reflect:

= capital outlay expenditures - Depreciation expense

= 5 million - 4 million

= $1 million

Therefore, there is an increase of $1 million.

DAR Corporation is comparing two different capital structures: an all-equity plan (Plan I) and a levered plan (Plan II). Under P
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

(a) Under plan 1:

EPS = EBIT ÷ Outstanding shares

       = $600,000 ÷ 205,000

       = 2.93

Under plan 2:

EPS = EBIT ÷ Outstanding shares

       = ($600,000 - $248,000) ÷ 155,000

       = 2.27

(b) Under plan 1:

EPS = EBIT ÷ Outstanding shares

       = $850,000 ÷ 205,000

       = 2.93

Under plan 2:

EPS = EBIT ÷ Outstanding shares

       = ($850,000 - $248,000) ÷ 155,000

       = 3.88

(c) Break-even EBIT is the amount of EBIT in which EPS of plan 1 is equal to the plan 2.

Let x be the break-even EBIT,

\frac{x}{205,000}=\frac{x-3,100,000\times0.08}{155,000}

\frac{155}{205}x=x-248,000

248,000=x[1-\frac{155}{205}]

x = $1,016,800
