Answer: 1. 18 times
2. Park is in better position
Explanation:
1. Times interest earned is a financial ratio that measures interest coverage. It's essentially to check if a company can pay it's debt payments and is calculated by either EBIT or EBITDA divided by the total interest expense. The higher the better and anything above 2.5 times is usually considered.
Calculating would therefore be,
= $6,120,000 /$340,000
= 18 times.
2. As mentioned in the first answer, for the Times interest earned, the higher it is, the more favourable it is. So Park Company will be considered safer and are most definitely in a better or worse position than its competitor to make interest payments if the economy turns bad. The fact that theirs is 18 means that they can pay off their interest expense 5 times more than their competitor who can only repay 12 times.

Answer:
A) They would be indifferent, as Sally's income net of costs equals $25,000.
Explanation:
Sally's economic profit = accounting profit - opportunity costs
- accounting profit = $12,000
- opportunity costs = $25,000 - $15,000 in lost salaries + $2,000 (lost investment revenue) = $12,000
economic profit = $12,000 - $12,000 = $0
Since the economic profit is $0, Sally should be indifferent between running her own business or working for someone else.
Answer and Explanation:
The computation of the effect on real GDP is shown below:
change in GDP is
= Multiplier × change in investment
= 1 ÷ (1 - MPC) × change in investment
= 1 ÷ (1 - 0.65) × $150 billion
= 2 × $150 billion
= $300 billion
And, the marginal propensity to consume is
= Change in spending of consumer ÷ income change
= (2,100 - 1,200) ÷ (4,000 - 3,000)
= 900 ÷ 1,000
= 0.9
