Answer:
A.) supply-side
Explanation:
Fiscal policy in economics refers to the use of government expenditures (spending) and revenues (taxation) in order to influence macroeconomic conditions such as Aggregate Demand (AD), inflation, and employment within a country. Fiscal policy is in relation to the Keynesian macroeconomic theory by John Maynard Keynes.
A fiscal policy affects combined demand through changes in government policies, spending and taxation which eventually impacts employment and standard of living plus consumer spending and investment.
A supply-side economist can be defined as economists who believes that the ability and willingness of the producers of goods and services to manufacture or produce sets the pace for the economic growth of a country.
This ultimately implies that, increasing the supply of goods and services would cause an economic growth for a country.
Hence, a supply-side fiscal policy is typically designed to create an outward shift in the production possibilities curve (PPC) and shift the aggregate supply (AS) curve to the left.
Generally, a supply-side fiscal policy takes a longer period of time to affect the economy of a country.
Answer: $300,000
Explanation:
As overhead is applied on the basis of direct labor cost, the overhead rate for the period is:
= Overhead / Direct labor cost * 100%
= 5,340,000 / 890,000 * 100%
= 600%
If direct labor cost is $50,000 then overhead applied will be:
= Direct labor cost * Overhead rate
= 50,000 * 600%
= $300,000
Answer : Premium Pricing.
Companies manufacturing or selling designer apparel, custom jewellery or exclusive paintings usually have a unique brand. These companies usually have their own signature brands that have a big competitive advantage. Hence they charge higher prices.
Answer:
$3,168
Explanation:
We will receive $4000 in future (after 4 years time) which means all we want to know is the amount that we Derek must deposit today.
This present value of the $4000 payment received after 4 years from today can be calculated using the following formula:
Present value = Future Value / (1 + r)^n
Here
Future Value is $4000
r is 6%
n is 4 years
So by putting values, we have:
Present value = $4000 / (1 + 6%)^4 Years
Present value = $3,168
Answer:
The risk free rate is 6.50%
Explanation:
The required rate of return is the minimum return that investors demand/expect on a stock based on the systematic risk of the stock as given by the beta. The expected or required rate of return on a stock can be calculated using the CAPM equation.
The equation is,
r = rRF + Beta * (rM - rRF)
Where,
- rRF is the risk free rate
- rM is the return on market
As we know the figures for r, Beta and rM, we will input these figures in the equation to calculate risk free rate.
Let risk free rate be x.
0.135 = x + 1.4 * (0.115 - x)
0.135 = x + 0.161 - 1.4x
0.135 - 0.161 = x - 1.4x
-0.026 = -0.4x
-0.026 / -0.4 = x
x = 0.065 or 6.50%
r = 0.1475 or 14.75%
