Answer:

a. 4%

b. 10%

Explanation:

1. Federal funds target = Real Federal funds rate + Inflation rate + 1/2( inflation gap) + 1/2(output gap)

Inflation gap = Current inflation - inflation target = 2% - 2% = 0

Economy is at full employment so output gap is 0.

= 2% + 2% + 1/2(0) + 1/2 (0)

= 4%

2. Federal funds target = Real Federal funds rate + Inflation rate + 1/2( inflation gap) + 1/2(output gap)

= 2% + 6% + 1/2(6% - 2%) + 1/2(0)

= 10%

Inessa [10]

Explanation:

a. The computation is shown below:

As we know that

Multiplier = 1 ÷ 1 - MPC

1.5  = 1 ÷ 1 - MPC

So, MPC is 0.3333

Now the real GDP is

= Multiplier × Government spending

= 0.3333 × $70 billion

= $105 million

So the change in real GDP is

= $105 million - $70 million

= $35 million

b. The computation is shown below:

As we know that

Multiplier = 1 ÷ 1 - MPC

Multiplier  = 1 ÷ 1 - 0.6

So, multiplier is 2.5

Now the real GDP is

= Multiplier × Government spending

= 2.5 × $16 billion

= -$40 million

c. As we know that

Real GDP = Multiplier × Government spending

$280 billion = Multiplier × $70 billion

So, the multiplier is 4

Now the MPC is

Multiplier = 1 ÷ 1 - MPC

4 = 1 ÷ 1 - MPC

So, the multiplier is 0.75

He is age 20 and single. His only income item is $12,100 interest from a trust fund. NO CONTRIBUTION SINCE HE HAS NO EARNED INCOME

He is age 40 and single. His only income item is a $34,900 share of ordinary income from a partnership. MAXIMUM CONTRIBUTION OF $6,000

He is age 60 and single. His only income item is $21,300 wages from his job. MAXIMUM CONTRIBUTION OF $7,000

He is age 46 and files a joint return with his wife. His sole proprietorship generates a $7,790 loss, and his wife’s salary is $46,700. MR. JANSON CANNOT CONTRIBUTE ANY MONEY TO THE IRA ACCOUNT, BUT HIS WIFE CAN CONTRIBUTE $6,000 ON HER ACCOUNT AND $6,000 ON MR. JANSON'S ACCOUNT.

In 2019, the limit for RA contributions increased by $500 to:

  • under age 50 ⇒ $6,000 per year
  • over age 50 ⇒ $7,000 per year

only earned income can be contributed

Yanka [14]

Answer:

Break-even units = 66.67 units

Explanation:

<em>Break-even point is the level of activity that achieves no profit or loss. At this level profit is zero because the the total revenue is equal to total cost.</em>

<em>The break-even point is calculated as </em>

<em>Units to achieve target profit = (Total general fixed cost for the period + target profit)/ contribution per unit</em>

Contribution per unit = Selling Price - Variable cost

Contribution per unit = 15- (1+3+0.50) = 10.5

Fixed cost = 500 +( 50× 4) = 700

So the units requited to achieve break-even point:

Break-even point =  700/10.5

                            = 66.67 units
