Answer:

B) -1 percent.

Explanation:

The computation of the federal fund target rate should be given below;

= Real federal fund rate + current inflation rate + (-current inflation rate - real GDP) + 0.5 real GDP

= 3 + 1 + (-1 - 8) + 0.5 × 8

= 4 - 9 + 4

= -1 percent

Hence, the second option is correct

MA_775_DIABLO [31]

The question is incomplete. The complete question is as follows,

The Waverly Company has budgeted sales for the year as follows:

Quarter sales in unit

1=12,000

2=14,000

3=18,000

4=16,000

The ending inventory of finished goods for each quarter should equal 25% of the next quarter's budgeted sales in units. The finished goods inventory at the start of the year is 3,000 units. Scheduled production for the second quarter (in units) is:

a.17,500 units.

b.16,500 units.

c.15,000 units.

d.13,000 units.

Answer:

Production = 15000 Units

Option C is the correct answer

Explanation:

To calculate the scheduled production for the second quarter, we first need to find the opening and ending inventory for the third quarter. The ending inventory for each quarter will become the opening inventory for next quarter. It is mentioned in the question that the ending inventory in each quarter is equal to 25% of the next quarter's budgeted sales. Then,

Ending Inventory First Quarter = 0.25 * 14000  =  3500 units

Ending Inventory Second Quarter = 0.25 * 18000  =  4500 units

The production of units in second quarter can be calculated as follows,

Budgeted Sales  =  Opening Inventory + Production - Closing Inventory

14000 = 3500 + Production - 4500

14000 + 4500 - 3500 = Production

Production = 15000 Units
