Answer: proportion of extra income that is consumed. (D)

Explanation:

The marginal propensity to consume is the proportion of an additional income that an individual consumes.

For example, if a household earns an extra dollar of disposable income, while the marginal propensity to consume is 0.60 this means that at that dollar, the household will spend 60 cents and save 40 cents.

Answer:

d. treasury and top-grade corporate bonds pay interest two times each year

Explanation:

Treasury bonds represent the best solution for investing, having in mind the low-risk aspect and the fact that they are issued by the government. Treasury and top-grade corporate bonds always pay semiannual interests.

Junk bonds should not be even considered in risk-free options, as a junk bond is a bond issued by a struggling company, which may happen not to pay any interest sometimes.

Common stock does not necessarily have to pay quarterly dividends, as some companies pay dividends monthly, or even annually. Also, the risk is still lower in treasury bonds, as common stock becomes questionable in the case of company liquidation. If and when that happens, common stockholders gain rights to company assets only after bondholders and preferred shareholders become paid.

The default risk is present in all bonds, including Yankee bonds, which are issued by foreign companies in the USA.

Suppose a bakery reports this information: beginning raw materials inventory $4,000 ending raw materials inventory 3,000 beginn

photoshop1234 [79]

To calculate cost of direct materials used, you take Purchases of raw materials and subtract the change in raw materials. The idea is that the cost of raw materials used will be however much raw materials decreased during the period plus the purchase of raw materials. Beginning raw materials is 4000, and ending raw materials is 3000, a change of -1000. Purchases of raw materials were 99,000. The Cost of Direct Materials is 99,000 - (-1000) = 100,000.

Radda [10]

Missing information:

total deposits in bank XYZ = $4,000,000

total reserves = $3,800,000

Answer:

the required reserve = $250,000

excess reserves = $4,550,000

Explanation:

required reserve ratio = 5%

the Fed buys $1,000,000 worth of bonds

the $1,000,000 are deposited entirely in bank XYZ

total checkable deposits will increase to $5,000,000

the required reserve = $5,000,000 x 5% = $250,000

excess reserves = total checkable deposits - total loans - required reserves = $5,000,000 - $200,000 - $250,000 = $4,550,000

Suppose Stark Ltd. just issued a dividend of $1.59 per share on its common stock. The company paid dividends of $1.25, $1.33, $1

Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

a) The dividend growth rate is given as D2/D1 - 1

Year Dividend Growth rate

1 $1.25

2 $1.33 ($1.33/ $1.25 - 1) 6.4%

3 $1.4 ($1.4/$1.33 - 1) 5.26%

4 $1.51 ($1.51/$1.4 -1) 7.86%

The arithmetic average growth rate is the average of all the growth rates.

Arithmetic average growth rate = (6.4% + 5.26% + 7.86%) / 3 = 6.51%

The cost of annuity = (cost of common stock / Selling stock price) * 100% + Average growth rate

The cost of annuity = ($1.59 / $40) * 100% + 6.51% = 10.49%

b) The geometric growth rate is given as:

geometric average growth rate =

$(\frac{D_n}{D_o} )^{\frac{1}{n} }-1\\D_n=1.51,D_o=1.25,n=3\\\\Geometric\ growth\ rate=\frac{1.51}{1.25}^{1/3}-1=6.5\%$

The cost of annuity = ($1.59 / $40) * 100% + 6.5% = 10.48%
