Answer:
Ending Inventory $ 64,000
Explanation:
To define the final inventory of the company it's necessary to find the cost of good of the period.
As the company had a 43% of gross profit, it means that for every dollar of sales we have 0,43 dollar of Gross Profit, with this value is possible to know the total cost of the goods sold during the period, that it's the difference between Sales Revenue and Gross Profit.
Total Sales Revenue had to be the net value after returns and discounts as it's detailed.
Income Statement
Sales revenue $ 300,000
Cost of goods sold -$ 171,000
Gross Profit $ 129,000 43%
Beginning Inventory $ 60,000
Purchases $ 175,000
Cost of goods sold -$ 171,000
Ending Inventory $ 64,000
Given:
ΔY = $5,000, the change in income
ΔS = 50,000 - 54,000 = - 4,000, the change in savings.
By definition,
MPS (Marginal Propensity to Spend) is
MPS = ΔS/ΔY = -4000/5000 = -0.8
The relation between MPS and MPC (Marginal Propensity to Consume) is
MPS + MPC = 1.
Therefore
MPC - 0.8 = 1
MPC = 1.8
Answer:
MPS = 0.8
MPC = 1.8
