Answer:

  • 1800
  • 500
  • Spending multiplier =5 , Tax multiplier =4
  • new GDP =2000 , Increase GDP level = 11.11%
  • new GDP =1800 , Increase in GDP level = 0%

Explanation:

  • Equilibrium GDP = C+I+G+net export

C = private consumption

I = investment

G = government consumption

Net export = export - import

800+400+500+100 = 1800

  • Saving at GDP = (GDP-T-C) +(T-G)

(1800-400-800)+(400-500) = 500

  • SPENDING  MULTIPLIER = 1 / 1 - MPC

= 1 / 1 - 0.8 = 5

        TAX MULTIPLIER = MPC /  1 - MPC

= 0.8/1-0.8

=0.8 / 0.20 = 4

  • New equilibrium GDP = GDP + 200 = 2000

Increase in GDP level = (NEW GDP - OLD GDP / OLD GDP) *100

(2000-1800) / 1800 = 11.11%

  • New Equilibrium GDP = C + I+ G + Net export

(800-200) +400 +(500+200) +100 = 1800

Increase in GDP level = (NEW GDP - OLD GDP / OLD GDP) *100

There is no change in GDP.

According to the _____________ of Alderfer’s ERG theory, an already-satisfied lower-level need can become reactivated when a hig
BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

regression theory

Explanation:

According to the <u>regression theory</u> of Alderfer’s ERG theory, an already-satisfied lower-level need can become reactivated when a higher-level need cannot be satisfied.

Alderfer proposed a regression theory to go along with the ERG theory, where he propounded that <u>when needs in a higher category are not met then individuals redouble the efforts invested in a lower category need.</u>

For example if self-actualization or self-esteem needs in the Maslow's hierarchy of needs are not met then individuals will invest more effort in the physiological and safety category in the hopes of achieving the higher need.

xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

Effect on income= $10,290 increase

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Falcon can handle the special order, and for this order, a variable selling cost of <u>$2 per unit would be eliminated.</u>

<u>Because it is a special order that would not affect current sales, we won't take into consideration the fixed costs.</u>

<u></u>

<u>To calculate the effect on income, we need to use the following formula:</u>

Effect on income= Number of units sold*unitary contribution margin

Effect on income= 1,470*(21 - 14)

Effect on income= $10,290 increase

What is the ending inventory for period 8 when the MPS is 0 units?
KatRina [158]

Answer:

Ending inventory  = 64 units

Explanation:

Given:

Ending inventory for period 7 = 89 units

Forecast demand for period 7 = 120 units

Forecast demand for period 8 = 20 units

Customer order for period 8 = 25 units

MPS = 0 units

Computation:

Ending inventory = Ending inventory for last period + MPS - maximum from (Forecast demand for Current period ,Customer order for current  period)

Ending inventory  = 89 units + 0 - maximum from (20 , 25)

Ending inventory  = 89 units -25 units

Ending inventory  = 64 units
