Answer:

MPC = 0.8

MPC = 0.2

Explanation:

Marginal propensity to consume is the proportion of an increase in income that is spent on consumption.

Marginal propensity to consume = increase in consumption / increase in disposable income

Marginal propensity to save is the proportion of an increase in income that is saved.

Marginal propensity to save = increase in savings / increase in disposable income

Disposable income is either consumed or saved. so,

Marginal propensity to consume + marginal propensity to save = 1

Marginal propensity to consume = $64 / $80 = 0.8

Marginal propensity to save = $16 / $80 = 0.2

I hope my answer helps you

Answer: MPC = 0.8 ; MPS = 0.2

Explanation:

Given the following ;

Increase in disposable income = $80 billion

Increase in consumption = $64 billion

Increase in savings = $16 billion

The disposable income of a country can be regarded as the that part of a country's or an individual's income which isn't subject to any sort of deduction such tax which one can decide to save, spend on consumption or investment.

Marginal Propensity to Consume(MPC) = ratio of the tendency of an economy or individual to spend on consumption with change in value or amount of disposable income

MPC = Increase in consumption /increase in disposable income

MPC = $64 billion / $80 billion = 0.8

2. Marginal Propensity to Save(MPS) = ratio of the tendency of an economy or individual to save its income with change in value or amount of disposable income

MPS = Increase in saving /increase in disposable income

MPS = $16 billion / $80 billion = 0.2

Summing up both MPS and MPC will always give a value of 1, As disposable income are always placed in either of the two categories : Consumption or Saving.

Answer:

external secondary data

Explanation:

Secondary data is information collected by other people or other sources. The most common secondary data sources are national censuses, sales reports, economic reports, etc.

This type of data is very useful because it can help us to reduce the costs of a marketing research or other types of studies. A lot of information can be found on the internet, but you must try to use only the information that comes from reliable sources.

ollegr [7]

Answer:

The Answer is D: Nominal group technique

Explanation:

From the question, it is clear that the CEO of Mi Ola is encouraging everyone to bring up that idea they have in mind. She is encouraging everyone to make a decision as it is never wrong as long as you're moving. Bounded rationality talks about making rational decisions that will most likely satisfy personal needs. This does not seem to be the kind of statement made here. The statement is like a booster to everyone to come up with ideas, which bring us to the concept of nominal group technique. This technique encourages contributions from an entire team and encourages swift agreement on the relative significance of problems, issues, and solutions.

Anarel [89]

Answer:

Apple Inc.

a. Calculate Apple Inc.'s working capital, current ratio, and acid-test ratio at September 27, 2014, and September 28, 2013. (Round your ratio answers to 1 decimal place. Enter "Working capital" in million of dollars.)

September 2014:

a) Working Capital = Current Assets - Current Liabilities

= $45,660,000 - $34,978,000 = $10,682,000

b) Current Ratio = Current Assets / Current Liabilities

= $45,660 / $34,978 = 1.3 : 1

c) Acid-Test Ratio = Current Assets - Inventory / Current Liabilities

= $45,660 - 930 / $34,978 = 1.3 : 1

September 2013:

a) Working Capital = Current Assets - Current Liabilities

= $41,940,000 - $21,160,000 = $20,780,000

b) Current Ratio  = Current Assets / Current Liabilities

= $41,940 / $21,160 = 2 : 1

c) Acid-Test Ratio Current Assets - Inventory / Current Liabilities

= $41,940 -1,200 / $21,160 = 1.9 : 1

b. Calculate Apple's ROE for the years ended September 27, 2014, and September 28, 2013. (Round your answers to 1 decimal place.)

September 2014

ROE = Net Income/Equity x 100 = $26,050/$77,290 x 100 = 33.7%

September 2013

ROE = Net Income/Equity x 100 = $14,160/$48,050 x 100 = 29.5%

c. Calculate Apple's ROI, showing margin and turnover, for the years ended September 27, 2014, and September 28, 2013. (Round "Turnover" answers to 2 decimal places. Round your percentage answers to 1 decimal place.)

September 2014

ROI = Margin x Turnover = Net Operating Income/Sales x Sales/Average Assets

= ($33,950/$108,400) x ($108,400/$120,880)

= 0.31 x 0.90

= 0.279 = 27.9%

Average Assets = $120,880 ($147,820 + 93,940) /2

September 2013

ROI = margin = turnover = Net Operating Income/Sales x Sales/Average Assets

= ($18,530/$65,370) x ($65,370/$70,880)

= 0.28 x 0.92

= 0.258 = 25.8%

Average Assets = $70,880 ($93,940 + 47,820) /2

b) Working Capital is the excess of current assets over current liabilities.  It shows the amount of finance needed for meeting day-to-day operations of an entity.  Working capital measures a company's liquidity, operational efficiency, and its short-term financial health.  A healthy entity has some excess of current assets over current liabilities in order to continue to run the business operations in the short-run.  Working capital can also be measured in relative terms with the use of ratios, especially the current ratio and the acid-test ratio.

c) ROE means Return on equity.  It is a financial performance measure calculated by dividing net income by shareholders' equity.   Since shareholders' equity is equal to a company's assets minus its debt, ROE is considered as the return on net assets.  As with return on capital, a ROE measures management's ability to generate income from the equity available to it.

d) Return on Investment (ROI) is a financial performance measure which evaluates the efficiency of an investment or compares the efficiency of a number of different investments.  ROI tries to directly measure the amount of return on a particular investment, relative to the investment's cost.  As a financial metric, it measures the probability of gaining a return from an investment.
