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.

aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

Ans. The amount invested at 13% was $1,595.97 and $14,685.03 were invested at 15%

Explanation:

Hi, you can solve this by using 2 equations, so let X be the portion of the money invested at 15% and Y be the amount invested at 13%. So the equation for the whole amount is:

X+Y=16,281

Now, the problem says that the money that you earn by investing at 15% exceeds the money received as interest in your investment of 13% by $1,995.27, this leads us to the second equation.

0.15X=0.13Y+1995.27

Now, to make it a little more friendly, we just have to go ahead and divide everything by 0.15, so we get.

X=0.8667Y+13,301.8

Now, in our first equation, we substitute X fo 0.8867(Y)+13,301.8 and we will see this.

0.8667Y+13,301.8+Y=16,281

Now, we solve for Y

1.8667Y=16,281-13,301.8

Y=\frac{2,979.2}{1.8667} =1,595.97

So the money invested at 13% was $1,595.97 therefore, the money invested at 15% was $16,281 - $1,595.97 = $14,685.03

And we can check this results like this. The money invested at 15% will return an amount of:

14,685.03*0.15=2,202.75

And the money invested at 13% will return

1,595.97*0.13=207.48

Substracting, we would found that the difference is:

2,202.75-207.48=1,995.27

Best of luck.

Which of the following statements is true of absorption​ costing? A. It considers variable selling and administrative costs as p
Sonja [21]

Answer:

C. It considers fixed manufacturing overhead cost as product costs.

Explanation:

The statement that is true of absorption​ costing is that it considers fixed manufacturing overhead cost as product costs.

Absorption costing uses the concept of cost drivers to ascertain the quantum of fixed manufacturing overhead cost a product generates, and ties that fraction to the product as its own cost.

By so doing, what would ordinarily have been periodic costs that will be apportioned among products become fixed costs that are directly traceable to those products.
