Answer:

operating leverage= 0.17

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Sales= $400,000

Variable costs= 75% of sales

Operating income= $40,000

To calculate the operating leverage, we need to use the following formula:

operating leverage= fixed costs/total costs

Fixed costs= (400,000*0.25) - 40,000= 60,000

Total costs= 400,000*0.75 + 60,000= 360,000

operating leverage= 60,000/360,000

operating leverage= 0.17

Answer: $7200

From the question, we are informed that most home insurance policies cover jewelry for $1,000 and silverware for $2,500 unless items are covered with additional insurance. If $4,700 worth of jewelry and $6,000 worth of silverware were stolen from a family.

Aleks [24]

Answer:

b) households will save more because they will expect higher taxes in the future

Explanation:

The Ricardian Equivalence proposition is one of the pillars of classical economics, which sadly has proven to not work very well in the real world. According to classical economists, and their quantity theory of money plus the Ricardian Equivalence, recessions do not exist because it is impossible for them to exist. But in the real world, that is not true. Recessions exist, e.g. the US is in a recession since the first quarter of 2020 (even before the current health crisis). When real people lose their jobs or are afraid to lose their jobs, their spending habits change.

On the other hand, when real people get a tax refund or tax cut, they generally spend it, they will not save it to pay future taxes. That is why car sales increase during February after checks form the IRS are handed out.

Theoretically, classical economics is great. The problem is that we are human beings, and as such, our behavior cannot be controlled or determined by what we should or should not do. This is exactly why the velocity of money (quantitative theory of money) is not constant.
