Answer:

Spending, production and employment to fall

Explanation:

A stock market crash brings about an economic condition of a recession or a slump.This brings out reduced economic activity and inflationary pressure builds up. This reduces purchasing powers of people and they demand less thus their spending falls. With increasing costs and less demands the firms are forced to cut down on production to combat costs and they also retrench causing unemployment.

Since the economy is at its potential output level, short term expansionary policies may not work.

Hope that helps.

Firm X and Firm Y both sell the same products at the same price; both firms are the same size with identical sales levels; Firm
Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

The options are given below:

A. Firm X

B. Firm Y

C. Same variability of operating profits

D. It would depend on tax effect on taxable income

The correct option is B. Firm Y

Explanation:

This is because firm Y has a higher operating leverage than firm X.

<u>Operating Leverage</u> refers to a cost-accounting formula that measures the degree to which a firm can increase operating income by increasing revenue. Operating leverage actually boils down to the analysis of fixed costs and variable costs, and it is highest in companies that have a high fixed operating costs in comparison with variable operating costs. What this means is that this kind of company makes use of more fixed assets. On the other hand, operating leverage is lowest in companies that have a low fixed operating costs when compared with variable operating costs.

Companies with high operating leverage are capable of making more money from each additional sale if they do not have to incur more costs to produce more sales.

Therefore, from the scenario given above, we can conclude that firm Y has a higher operating leverage than firm X, because firm X has lower fixed costs than firm Y, and a higher variable cost than firm Y as well. Hence, firm Y has the potential to make more operating profits from its business activities.

Tobin Supplies Company expects sales next year to be $500,000. Inventory and accounts receivable will "increase $80,000" to acco
wel

Answer:

External funds needed = $40,000.

Explanation:

An increase in the firm's retained earnings (a component of the shareholder's equity) arises as a result of higher sales volume, thereby making the  Asset = Liability + Shareholder's Equity Equation unbalanced.

Therefore, there must be an increment in the firm's assets by an equal amount in order to re balance the equation. If there is an increase in assets by a greater magnitude than retained earnings increment, the gap is filled by external financing (which is a liability and increases the liability component of the equation).

Net income = Sales * profit margin = $500000*10% = $50000

Dividend= Net income * payout ratio = $50000*20%= $10000

Increase in retained earnings = Net income - Dividend = $(50000-10000)

                                                  = $40000

Increase in assets = $80000

External funds needed = $(80000-40000) = $40,000.

You need some money today and the only friend you have that has any is your miserly friend. He agrees to loan you the money you
Serggg [28]

Answer:

The correct option is (b)

Explanation:

Given:

Monthly payment for 6 months = $30 per month

Time period = 6 month (6 periods)

Monthly interest rate = 2%

In order to compute borrowed amount, present value of these payments need to be computed which is an annuity as same amount of $30 is paid.

Checking PVIFA table for 2%, 6 periods, annuity factor is 5.6014.

Borrowed amount = Monthly payment × PVIFA(2%,6)

                            = 30 × 5.6014

                            = $168.042

Borrowed amount is $168.042 or $168.22 approximately (difference in value due to annuity factor being rounded off)

AysviL [449]

Answer:

The trade in value is higher than the book value by $ 205

Explanation:

Computation of Book value

In a double declining balance method of depreciation, the rate of depreciation is double the straight line rate and is depreciated on a declining balance.

Cost of Equipment                                                                            $ 37,000

Estimated useful life ( Recovery Period)                                             5 years

Straight Line Depreciation rate                                                            20 %

Double declining Method depreciation  rate                                      40 %

Cost                                                                                                     $ 37,000

Depreciation for year 1   at 40 %                                                        <u>$(14,800)</u>

Depreciable basis for year 2                                                              $ 22,200

Depreciation for year 2   at40 %                                                       <u>$ ( 8,880)</u>

Depreciable basis for year 3                                                              $  13,320

Depreciation for year 3   at 40 %                                                        <u>$ (5,328)</u>

Depreciable basis for year 4                                                               $   7,992

Depreciation for year 4   at 40 %                                                        <u>$    3,197) </u>

Depreciable basis for year 5                                                                $  4,795

The depreciable basis for year 5 is the net book value after 4 years

The trade value is                                                                                  $ 5,000

The trade in value is higher by                                                             $     205
