Answer:

the money supply in Macroland will increase from <u>5,000</u> econs to <u>7,000</u> econs

Explanation:

Currently, Macroland's money supply = 2,000 econs held by the public and 3,000 econs held by the banks (= 300 econs x 1/0.1).

In order to determine the increase in the money supply we must multiply the inflow of econs by the money multiplier. The money multiplier = 1 / reserve ratio = 1/0.1 = 10.

Since the government is injecting 200 econs to the economy, the increase in the money supply = 200 econs x 10 = 2,000 econs.

So now, Macroland's money supply will increase from 5,000 to 7,000 econs.

The money multiplier measures the banking system's ability to "create" money. The banking system creates money by first receiving deposits, e.g. you deposit 10 econs in your savings account, and then lending money to another client. The bank will lend 9 econs (-10% required reserve) to John that will purchase a bike. The seller of the bike receives the money form John and deposits the 9 econs in his own bank. Then this second bank will lend 8.10 econs to Sarah. Sarah will use the money to purchase a new computer and a printer from Tom. Tom then deposits the money in his bank, and then his bank lends 7.29 econs to Sally, and the wheel goes on and on.

This money creating process is possible because Macroland uses a fractional banking system, which means that the banks are only required to keep a fraction of total deposits as reserves.

Beasley Company currently sells its products for​ $30 per unit. Management is contemplating a​ 10% increase in the selling price
Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

Selling price per unit (next year) = 30 + 10 % of 30 = $33

Variable cost per unit (next year) = 30 * 40 % = $12

Contribution per unit (next year) = Selling price per unit (next year) - Variable cost per unit (next year) = 33 - 12  = $21

Fixed expenses = $68,250

Break even point (in units) = Fixed expenses / Contribution per unit.

Break even point (in units) = 68,250 / 21 = $3,250

Which of the following statements is true? a. The production budget is not converted into dollars. b. The sales budget includes
Svetllana [295]

Answer:

e. All of these choices are correct.

Explanation:

Note:

Statement a. about production budget is correct as the production budget only estimates number of units to be produced, in quantity and not in dollars and therefore is not converted into dollars.

Statement b. about sales budget is also correct as it shows the quantity in units and also in value.

Statement c. about overhead budget is also correct as the budget segregates variable and fixed overheads properly.

Statement d. about labor budget is correct, as in this budget an average rate is used for calculating the expenses.

Therefore all of the above is correct.

Levart [38]

Answer:

a) Break-even point in dollar for 2017

Contribution margin ratio = Contribution Margin/Sales

C.M Ratio = (Sales - Variable Cost)/Sales

C.M Ratio = $(2,500,000-1,750,000)/2,500,000

C.M Ratio = 0.30 or 30%

Break-even point in dollars = Fixed expense/C.M Ratio

B-E point ($) = $850,000/0.30

= $2,833,333.33

<u>Alternative 1</u>

<em>Sales Price per unit after increasing 20%,</em>

Sales Price = ($5*0.2) + $5 = $6

Total Sales ($) = (Sales Price x Sales Units)

Total Sales ($) = ($6*500,000) =$3,000,000

Contribution margin ratio = Contribution Margin/Sales

C.M Ratio = ($3,000,000- $1,750,000)/$3,000,000

C.M Ratio = 0.42 or 42%

Break-even point in dollars = Fixed expense/C.M Ratio

B-E point ($) = $850,000/0.42

= $2,023,809.52

<u>Alternative 2</u>

<em>Commission</em> = $2,500,000*5% = $125,000

Change in fixed annual salaries = $150,000-$60,000 = $90,000

Total fixed costs after deducting the changes in fixed salaries = $850,000-$90,000 = $760,000

Contribution margin ratio = Contribution Margin/Sales

C.M Ratio = (Sales - Variable Cost - Commission on sales)/Sales

C.M Ratio = ($2,500,000-$1,750,000-$125,000)/$2,500,000

C.M Ratio = 0.25 or 25%

Explanation:

Sales = $2,500,000

Sales Unit = $2,500,000/500,000 = $5

Variable Cost = 1,750,000

Fixed costs = $850,000
