Answer: (a) $300 million

(b) 52%

Explanation:

Total Government spending in 2010:

= education + welfare and Social Security +  health care +  defense + payments on debt + other

= $320 + $890 + $270 + $120 + $170 + $240

= $2,010 million

Total Government revenue in 2010:

= income tax  + sales tax +  corporate tax + social insurance

= $800 + $270 + $300 + $340

= $1,710 million

Hence, Total government spending is greater than the total government revenue.

So,

Littleland need to borrow =  $2,010 million - $1,710 million

                                           = $300 million

Littleland need to borrow $300 million to finance its government spending.

Total government debt in 2010:

= Total government debt in 2009 + Increase in debt in 2010

= $3.5 billion + $300 million

= $3.5 billion + $0.3 billion

= $3.8 billion

Littleland's debt to GDP ratio At the end of 2010,

=\frac{Debt\ at\ the\ end\ of\ 2010}{GDP\ in\ 2010}

=\frac{3.8 billion}{7.3 billion}

      = 0.52

      = 52%

Martha Manufacturing produces a single product that sells for $80. Variable costs per unit equal $32. The company expects total
garri49 [273]
Each unit sells: $80
Each unit costs to make: $32
Fixed costs: 72,000
Goal: 2,000 units sold

If they meet their goal, let's see how that would go:

(2,000 * 80) - (2,000 * 32) - 72,000 = ?
160,000 - 64,000 - 72,000 = 24,000

24,000 is the profit they would make for hitting their goal.

Question 1:
What is the break-even point? The break-even means they make no money, but they also lose no money. So that final number (24,000) would be 0 instead. How many units would they have to make to hit zero?
(x * 80) - (x * 32) - 72,000 = 0.
80x - 32x = 72,000
48x = 72,000
x = 1500 units

We can verify by using our first formula we've already determined, using this new value for units.
(1,500* 80) - (1,500 * 32) - 72,000 = ?
120,000 - 48,000 - 72,000 = 0? True!

Question 2: If they increase their expenses by 16,000, what is their new break even point?

(x * 80) - (x * 32) - 72,000 - 16000 = 0.
80x - 32x - 88000 = 0
48x = 88000
x = 1833

Question 3: 10% reduction in selling price and 10% increase in sales. (Assuming based off the original formula the problem provided.)

Original: (2,000 * 80) - (2,000 * 32) - 72,000 = ?

10% Reduction in price: 8
80-8 = 72

10% increase in sales: 200
2000 + 200 = 2200

Plugin to our formula:
(2200 * 72) - (2200 * 32) - 72,000 = ?
158400 - 70400 - 72,000 = 16,000

Since this number is positive, this is income. (D)

A firm has adopted a policy whereby it will not seek any additional external financing. Given this, what is the maximum growth r
VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

The maximum growth rate to my calculations is 8.32%, since it is closer to option E), I´d choose E) 8.37%

Explanation:

Hi, in order to find the growth rate given all the info of the problem, we need to use the following formula.

g=b*R

Where:

g = growth rate

b=retention ratio

R = return on equity

Since R = Earnings / Equity, and our dividend payout ratio (equals to 1 - b)our fromula changes to:

g=(1-Payout)*\frac{NetIncome}{Equity}

So, everything should look like this:

g=(1-0.25)*\frac{32,600}{294,000} =0.0832

So, the growth rate is equal to 8.32% but this option is not available, therefore we´ll go for the closest one, that is E) 8.37%.

Best of luck.

Which is a hospital payment monitoring program that contains hospital-specific administrative claims data for a number of CMS-id
Eva8 [605]

First-Look Analysis for Hospital Outlier Monitoring (FATHOM) is a hospital payment monitoring program that contains hospital-specific administrative claims data for a number of CMS-identified problem areas to compare their performance with that of other hospitals.

A Microsoft Access program called FATHOM: First-Look Analysis Tool for Hospital Outlier Monitoring enables CMS to give each State hospital-specific Medicare claims data statistics that show regions with a high payment mistake rate. These target area data act as proxies for payment mistake rates.

An observation that differs greatly from the other data in its set is considered an outlier. To find these entries, an auditor will use a variety of methods, procedures, and tools. Data mining is one such tool that the auditor might use to evaluate information.
