Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

Marginal Propensity to Consume (MPC) = change in consumption  change in disposable income

= $18 billion ÷  $20 billion

= 0.9

Marginal Propensity to Save (MPS) = change in saving ÷ change in disposable income

= $2 billion ÷ $20 billion

= 0.10

b) APC before the increase in disposable income

The average propensity to consume (APC) = Consumption (C) ÷ Disposable income (Y)

= $150 billion ÷ $200 billion

= 0.75

For After the increase in the disposable income, first we have to determine the new disposable income and the  new consumption which is

New disposable income is

= $200 billion + $20 billion

= $220 billion

And,

New consumption is  

= $150 billion + $18 billion

= $168 billion

Now

APC = new consumption ÷new disposable income

= $168 billion ÷ $220 billion

= 0.76

We simply applied the above formulas

Answer: common stockholders

Explanation: Stockholders are in essence the owners of a business. The difference between common stockholders and preferred stockholders when it comes to deciding the fate of the company is that preferred stockholders do not have voting rights while common stockholders do. So, common stockholders elect the board of directors.

Bondholders do not have any say in the running of a business, whatsoever.

alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

Option C Electricity used to run its factories

Explanation:

The reason is that the direct costs are those that are easily attributable to the unit product and the costs that are not directly attributable to the unit product are indirect cost.

So here the salary paid to workers are directly attributable cost because the time taken to produce one unit in modern industry is fixed and determinable so the wage per unit is also fixed. It means it is a direct cost.

The leather used for a unit product of shoe is also determinable and fixed the product and its costs as well. This means we can easily allocate the cost to the unit shoe so it is also direct cost.

Likewise the cost of machines per unit in modern day industries is also determinable. If the machine life is 100,000 units and its price is $200,000 then the cost attributable to unit product of shoe is $2 per unit.

The electricity cost is not attributable to unit product of shoe as this electricity is used for other operations in the factory and this throws cat among the piegons because it is difficult to find how much a product utilizes electricity because their are number of different product produced in the factory and each utilizes electricity differently. So it is not directly attributable and is an indirect cost.

Explanation:

The depreciation base can be expressed;

depreciation base=purchase cost-salvage value

where;

salvage value=$2,000

replacing;

depreciation base=26,000-2,000=$24,000

depreciation base=$24,000

annual depreciation expense=depreciation base/useful life

depreciation base=$24,000

useful life=4 years

replacing;

annual depreciation expense=24,000/4=$6,000

Partial depreciation expense, from October 30 to December 31=2 months

Case: Keller v. Central Bank of Nigeria
Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

1.Parties [Identify the plaintiff and the defendant] - The plaintiff is Henry Keller of H.K.Enterprises and the defendant is Bank of Nigeria and Nigerian individuals Central Bank of Nigeria, Paul Ogwuma, ?Alhaji Rasheed, Alhaji M.A. Sadiq.

2.Facts [Summarize only those facts critical to the outcome of the case] - The case was filed by Keller against the defendants in United States. The case was filed under Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (“RICO”) as the plaintiff found himself a victim of fraud and financial scam.The scam occured when one of the defendants approached the plaintiff who was the sales representative of medical equipments for granting him the distribution rights for Nigeria. The expected amount of money was not transferred in the account of plaintiff inspite of his attempts of meeting the requirements of the defendants. The defendants acted on the behalf of Central Bank of Nigeria and as Nigerian individuals.

3.Procedure [Who brought the appeal? What was the outcome in the lower court(s)?] - The appeal was filed by the defendants Central Bank of Nigeria,?Paul Ogwuma, Alhaji Rasheed, Alhaji M.A. Sadiq. The lower court gave the decision that the claims of fraud and misrepresentation do not hold against the defendants as the plaintiff entered into an arrangement with them which is not legal and as per the rules. However the lower court ruled that immunity cannot be given under FSIA to the defendants as the commercial activity is an exception and claims for violation of RICO are applicable on them.

4. Issue [Note the central question or questions on which the case turns] - The case turns on the appeal of defendants to be granted immunity under Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act. The ruling indicated that the defendants have sovereign authority. Also, the commercial activity clause did not apply in this case as the activity was not done in United States and did not meet the legal standards of a commercial activity.

5.Explain the applicable law(s). - Applicable laws are Common law fraud, violations of RICO(Rackteer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act), Misrepresentation.

6.Holding [How did the court resolve the issue(s)? Who won?] - The court resolved the issue by giving a decision in the favor of defendants by ruling that immunity is given to Foreign nationals under FSIA and dismissed any claims filed against them under RICO.

7.Reasoning [Explain the logic that supported the court's decision] - The logic supporting the court's decision is that the arrangement between the plaintiff and defendants including the signed contract was not as per the laws and rules and was not legally compliant. Moreover the commercial activity was out of bounds for United states so the exception to FISA is not applicable. The defendants claimed that they did not enter into the contract with the plaintiff.
