Answer:

$5,000 billion

Explanation:

We know that

Government spending multiplier = 1 ÷ (1 - marginal propensity to consume)

Government spending multiplier = 1 ÷ (1 - 0.50)

Government spending multiplier = 1 ÷ 0.50

So, Government spending multiplier = 2

If the output is increased by $10,000 billion then, the government spending would rise by

= Output ÷ Government spending multiplier

= $10,000 ÷ 2

= $5,000 billion

Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:

d.9.34%

Explanation:

The formula for the weighted average cost of capital is provided below as a starting point for solving this question:

WACC=(weight of equity*cost of equity)+(weight of debt*after-tax cost of debt)

weight of equity=1-debt %=1-50%=50%

weight of debt=50%

cost of equity=13.6%

after-tax cost of debt=7.8%*(1-35%)

after-tax cost of debt=5.07%

WACC=(50%*13.6%)+(50%*5.07%)

WACC=9.34%

The discount rate is computed based on the target or preferred capital structure

Venture capital (VC) firms are pools of private capital that typically invest in small, fast-growing companies that can't raise
sergey [27]

Answera dnd Explanation:

A. The incentive conflict in principal-agent relationship as it concerns venture capitalism is conflict between venture capitalists who are the principals and the managers of the business investment who are the agents. The conflict is that venture capitalists are put to increase value of their investment and make profit while salaried managers are only out to feel their pockets through their managerial role in the company as they do not have an interest in the company and are unaffected by the loss or failure of the company. This is known as the principal agent moral hazard issue in venture capitalism

B. By managers maintaining some ownership in the company, there us reduced conflict as managers now see a reason to make sure company succeeds since they have an interest

Venture capitalists aim to have a seat in the board to make sure managers do not take bad decisions since they are able to veto such decisions

Answer:

2016 Depreciation

Dr depreciation expense $5720

Cr Accumulated depreciation               $5720

2017 Depreciation

Dr depreciation expense $5720

Cr Accumulated depreciation               $5720

Journal entries for 2018 expenditure

Dr repairs and maintenance   $2900

Dr Equipment account             $11850

Cr Cash account                                          $14750

2018 Depreciation

Dr depreciation expense          $4800.83

Cr Accumulated depreciation                     $4800.83

Explanation:

There are two policies for depreciating non-current asset  especially when it is acquired part-way through the year like we have here, namely full year depreciation in the year of purchase and none in the year of disposal or proportional depreciation throughout the useful life,I am adopting the former in this question.

Formula for depreciation=cost-residual value/useful life

Yearly depreciation is ($57200-$0)/10=$5720

However,after two years the book value is calculated thus:

Book value=$57200-($5720*2)=$45760

additional cost incurred in enhancing the capacity of the asset would be added :  $45760 +$11,850=$57610

Since the useful life has also been reviewed up to 12 years, the depreciation from now on is $57610/12=$4800.83
