Because a decrease in real autonomous spending results in a <u>fall</u> in the price level, the ultimate effect on real GDP is<u> smaller</u> that predicted by the multiplier.
Another significant discovery is made by Keynesian economics. You've learnt that Keynesians think fluctuations in total spending are what ultimately determine the level of economic activity in the short run (or aggregate demand).
Assume that full employment prevails in an economy because the macro equilibrium occurs at the potential GDP.
Keynes noted that even while the economy starts at potential GDP, it is improbable that it will stay there because aggregate demand has a propensity to fluctuate.
In 2007, the collapse of the housing market caused a decline in U.S. investment spending. The Great Recession subsequently hit the American economy as a result.

An employer's federal payroll tax responsibilities include withholding from an employee's compensation and paying an employer's contribution for Social Security and Medicare taxes under the Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA).
Employers have numerous payroll tax withholding and payment obligations. Of the utmost importance is the proper payment of what are commonly known as FICA taxes. FICA taxes are somewhat unique in that there is required withholding from an employee's wages as well as an employer's portion of the taxes that must be paid.
The Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA) is the federal law requiring you to withhold three separate taxes from the wages you pay your employees. FICA is comprised of the following taxes:
6.2 percent Social Security tax;
1.45 percent Medicare tax (the “regular” Medicare tax); and
Since 2013, a 0.9 percent Medicare surtax when the employee earns over $200,000.
You must withhold these amounts from an employee's wages.
The law also requires you to pay the employer's portion of two of these taxes:
6.2 percent Social Security tax
1.45 percent Medicare tax (the “regular” Medicare tax).
As you can see, the employer’s portion for the Social security tax and the regular Medicare tax is the same amount that you're required to withhold from your employees' wages. (Different rules apply for employees who receive tips.) There is no employer portion for the 0.9 percent Medicare surtax on high-earning employees.
In other words, you withhold a 6.2 percent Social Security tax from your employee’s wages and you pay an additional 6.2 percent as your employer share of the tax (6.2 employee portion + 6.2 employer portion = 12.4 percent total). Also, you withhold a 1.45 percent Medicare tax from your employee’s wages and you pay an additional 1.45 percent as your employer share (1.45 employee portion + 1.45 employer portion = 2.9 percent total). The total of all four portions is 15.3 percent (6.2 percent employee portion of Social Security + 6.2 percent employer portion of Social Security + 1.45 percent employee portion of Medicare + 1.45 percent employer portion of Medicare = 15.3 percent).
Unlike the other FICA taxes, the 0.9 percent Medicare surtax is imposed on the employee portion only. There is no employer match for the Medicare surtax (also called the Additional Medicare Tax). You withhold this 0.9 percent tax from employee wages and you do not pay an employer’s portion. Also, unlike the other FICA taxes, you withhold the 0.9 percent Medicare surtax only to the extent that wages paid to an employee exceed $200,000 in a calendar year. You begin withholding the surtax in the pay period in which you pay wages in excess of this $200,000 “floor” to an employee and you continue to withhold it each pay period until the end of the calendar year.
Answer:
1. $3.20 x 2.20 = $7.04
2. It will be favorable.
3. It will be unfavorable.
4. Direct material price variance = $22
Direct material quantity variance = 0.48
Explanation:
1. Standard direct cost per unit=cost of direct materials price x direct material standard quantity per unit.
2. It will be favorable because they expected or had budgeted to pay $3.60 per foot for the material but the actual cost became $3.20. So they pay $0.40 less than they had expected to pay.
3. It will be unfavorable because they had planed or budgeted for each unit to use 2.05 feet of leather but they ended up needing 2.20 feet of leather per collar so that means they under budgeted by 0.15 feet.
4. Direct material price variance =( $3.60 x 55) less ($3.20x55)=$22
The total amount that was budgeted or expected to be paid is subtracted from the total actual price that was paid.
Direct material quantity variance = (2.05x$3.20) less (2.20x$3.20)= -0.48
The total direct material quantity that is used is subtracted from the quantity that was expected to be used.
Answer:
the amount of increase in the common stock is $75,000
Explanation:
The computation of the amount of increase in the common stock is shown below;
= Number of shares of common stock sold × stated value per share
= 15,000 shares × $5 per share
= $75,000
Hence, the amount of increase in the common stock is $75,000
