Answer:

Option (1) is correct.

Explanation:

Given that,

Annual disposable income = $80,000

Marginal propensity to consume, MPC = 0.8

Autonomous consumption spending = $10,000

Therefore,

annual consumer spending:

C = a + bY

Where,

a = Autonomous consumption spending

b = Marginal propensity to consume

Y = Annual disposable income

C = $10,000 + (0.8 × $80,000)

   = $10,000 + $64,000

   = $74,000

ohaa [14]

Answer:

Total salary expense in week 1 = $440 x 150 = $66,000

Total deductions due to taxes = $121.66 x 150 = $18,249

Actual direct deposit of payroll in week is $66,000 minus $18,249 = $47,751

Explanation:

Number of employees = 150

Hourly wage = $11

Weekly hours worked = 40 hours

Weekly wage = 40 x 11 = $440 per employee

Taxes deduction:

Federal - 15% of gross earnings = $66

State - 5% of gross earnings = $22

FICA - 7.65% of first #128,400 = $33.66

Total deductions = $121.66

Net Earnings = $318.34

Suppose a riskless project requires an initial investment of $10 and will generate a one-time cash inflow of $30 two years later
Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

D. The payback period is less than 2 years.

Explanation:

Discount rate                 5%  

                                        0      1          2

intital investment        -10  

cash flow                       0        30

Total cash flow         -10      0        30

NPV                        17.21  

IRR                                 73%  

Therefore, The NPV is 17.21 and is positive, the statement is True.

IRR > 50%, Therefore the statement made is True

Accounting rate of return = {[(30 - 10)/10]^(1/2)} - 1

                                           = 41% > 0

Therefore, The statement made is true.

Payback period = 2 years, Therefore the statement made is NOT true.

lutik1710 [3]

Answer:

A. NPV for A= $61,658.06

NPV  for B = $25,006.15

B.  1.36

1.17

Project A

Explanation:

Net present value is the present value of after tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.

NPV can be calcuated using a financial calculator

for project A :

Cash flow in

Year 0 = $(172,325)

Year 1 41,000

Year 2 47,000

Year 3 85,295

Year 4 86,400

Year 5 56,000

I = 10%

NPV = $61,658.06

for project B

year 0 = $ (145,960)

Cash flow in

Year 1  27,000

Year 2  52,000

Year 3 50,000  

Year 4 71,000

Year 5  28,000

I = 10%

NPV = $25,006.15

profitability index = 1 + NPV / Initial investment

for project A, PI = $61,658.06 / 172,325 = 1.36

For project B, PI = $25,006.15 / 145,960 = 1.17

The project with the greater NPV and PI should be chosen. this is project A.

To find the NPV using a financial calculator:

1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

2. after inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.  

3. Press compute

If your purchases of shoes increase from 9 pairs per year to 11 pairs per year when your income increases from $19,000 to $21,00
fiasKO [112]

Answer:

Option (a) is correct.

Explanation:

Here, shoes are normal goods as there is a positive relationship between the income level of the consumer and the quantity demanded for shoes. It can be seen that as the income of the consumer increases from $19,000 to $21,000 then as a result the quantity of pairs of shoes demanded increases from 9 to 11 pairs. Normal goods are generally have positive income elasticity of demand.

Therefore, the shoes are normal goods in this case.
