Answer:
Total annual cash inflow= $5,000
Explanation:
The total annual cash inflow will be the sum of the savings in operating costs and the incremental contribution from the sale of the bagels.
Annual contribution from Bagel = 1,500×$0.90=1350
Operating cost savings = 3,650
Total annual cash inflow = 1,350 + 3,650 =5,000
Total annual cash inflow= $5,000
Answer:
125 pounds
Explanation:
Firstly, we need to know the total product of labor of the five full time workers.
This is equal to 120 * 5 = 600 pounds
The last worker is 150 pounds
The total now is 600 + 150 = 750 pounds
The average product of the six workers will now be 750/6 = 125 pounds
Answer:
See below.
Explanation:
For a, first we calculate the credit multiplier of the economy,
Credit multiplier = 1 / reserve ratio
Credit multiplier = 1 / 0.25 = 4
This means that any change in money supply will be 4 times as much in the economy, hence to induce a change of $120 billion, the Fed will decrease the money supply by 120/4 = $30 billion. This will increase the interest rates just enough to stabilize aggregate demand.
For b, we again start by calculating the credit multiplier.
Credit multiplier = 1/0.10 = 10
Since the Fed want to stimulate investment, it needs to use an expansionary monetary policy.
The Fed thus increases the money supply by 150/10 = $15 billion.
This will have the total effect of 150 billion on the whole thus achieving the Fed's objectives.
Hope that helps.
