Answer:

The appropriate solution is "100 billion".

Explanation:

The given values are:

Recessionary gap (Total change),

= $500

Marginal propensity consume (MPC),

= 0.8

Now,

Multiplier will be:

= \frac{1}{1-MPC}

On putting the value of MPC, we get

= \frac{1}{1-0.8}

= 5

As we know,

⇒ Total \ change=Government \ spending's \ increase\times Multiplier

⇒ Government \ spending's \ increase=\frac{Total \ change}{Multiplier}

On substituting the values, we get

⇒                                                       =\frac{500}{5}

⇒                                                       =100 \ billion

Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

d. Both Ted and Kate are entitled to the dividend.

Explanation:

There are 3 important dates when a corporation declares a dividend:

  1. The declaration date: in this case June 20th. It is the date when the corporation declares that it will pay a certain cash dividend.
  2. The date of record: the date of record is one day after the ex-dividend date, which means that the stockholders that the stock until the ex-dividend date will be entitled to receive the dividend. The stockholders that purchase the stock on the record date or any date after the ex-dividend date, will not be entitled to receive the dividend. In this case, the ex-dividend date was July 11th, and both Ted and Kate purchased the stocks before that date.
  3. The date of payment: the actual date when the dividends are distributed, in this case, August 1st.

Tim babysits for three hours on the weekend. His current babysitting job pays him $7 an hour. He has a new babysitting job offer
weqwewe [10]
Before going to the cost and benefits, lets take a look first at the total of what Tim makes for the two jobs. In the first job, he is paid $7 per hour for 3 hours so that is $21 total for the first job. The second job offer is $10 per hour for two hours so that is $20 for the entire second job offer. If he is going to take the first job, he will have $1 more than the second job, however, he has to work an extra hour. However, if he takes the second job, he receives $1 less but has one hour more for himself. So if he were to take the second job, it will be more beneficial to him because he can get almost the same amount but doesn't need to work as hard

Answer:

Bribery in the world of business typically happens when an organization or representative of an organization gives financial benefits to an official to gain favor or manipulate a business decision - True.

Bribery is the giving or offering of items of value (especially money) to a government official in exchange for favorable treatment. Bribing is unethical and illegal, but it is common practice in many countries, so common that it is expected.

The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act was implemented in the aftermath of disclosures that businesses were violating the IMA Code of Ethics - True.

In the seventies, U.S. Government investigations found that hundreds of U.S. companies operating abroad had turned to bribery in order to gain the favor of foreing officials. This conduct is related to the statement explained above: bribery is pervasive in many countries around the world.

Managers are required to follow specific rules issued by the IMA for internal financial reporting. - False.

The IMA Code of Ethics does not provide specific rules for financial reporting (these specific rules are found instead either in the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) or in the or in the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS)).

The IMA Code of Ethics instead provides principles, or ethical guidelines, to be followed by participants in the management accounting profession.

Ethics is more than obeying laws - True.

Ethics goes beyond what is legally right, and is more related to what is morally right. An ethical person should do the right thing even if there is no legal code explicitely telling him to do so.

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act addressed public company accounting reform. - True

This act added requirements for public accounting firms, and included legal penalties including possible jail time for certain types of misconduct. The Act was enacted following major accounting scandals such as Enron.
