Answer:

option (D) $50 billion.

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Additional investment spending = $20 billion

MPC = 0.6

Now,

Increase in aggregate demand = [1 ÷ (1 - mpc) ] × Investment

or

Increase in aggregate demand =  [1 ÷ (1 - 0.4) ] ×  $20 billion

or

Increase in aggregate demand = (1 ÷ 0.4) × $20 billion

or

Increase in aggregate demand = 2.5 × $20 billion

or

Increase in aggregate demand = $50 billion

Hence.

the correct answer is option (D) $50 billion.

Rylan Corporation received an offer from an exporter for 25,000 units of product at $16 per unit. The acceptance of the offer wi
hammer [34]

Answer: a.$275,000

Explanation:

Let us assume local production sales of 0 for simplicity of analysis.

At 0 there will be no Variable Costs and no fixed costs because they are dependant on the amount of units produced.

If then Rylan Corporation receives 25,000 units at $16 per unit this will change the Variable costs as it will have to incorporate the new units.

The question however says that normal production continues. This means that Fixed costs do not change. That means fixed costs remain at $0.

That means the only change will be the Variable costs of selling 25,000 units.

At a rate of $11 per unit we then have,

= 11 * 25,000

= $275,000

The costs have increased by $275,000 from 0 which means that $275,000 is the Incremental cost.

Note that Fixed and Variable costs of 0 are improbable and we're only used for simpler analysis. Feel free to try the question with other number of units for your own practice. You will arrive at the same answer regardless.

If the rate of inflation is 2.2% per year, the future price pt (in dollars) of a certain item can be modeled by the following ex
postnew [5]

Answer:

1693.25

Explanation:

The computation of the current price of the item and the price 9 years from today is shown below:-

p(t) = 1,200 × (1.039)^t

Now, the current price can be found by putting t = 0

p(0) is

1,200\times (1.039)^0 = $1,200

The price 10 years from today

p(9) is

1,200\times (1.039)^9

Now we will solve the above equation

= 1,200 × 1.411041958

= 1693.25035

or

= 1693.25

avanturin [10]

Answer:

$335,428

Explanation:

The computation of the plane operating cost is shown below:

Plane Operating Cost = Fixed cost + (Variable cost per unit × quantity) + (Variable cost per unit × quantity)

= $41,490 + ( $2,839 × 101 flights) + ($23 × 313 passengers)

= $41,490 + $286,739 + $7,199

= $335,428

We only considered the planned activity as we have to compute the plane operating cost for the planning budget
