Answer:
If MPC is 0.8, Change in GDP = $500 million
If MPC is 0.95, Change in GDP = $2,000 million
Explanation:
<em>Expenditure Multiplier is the amount by which the real GDP will change if autonomous expenditure changes by a given amount.</em>
It is calculated as follows: 1/(1-MPC).
MPC is the portion of additional income that is spent. If the MPC is 0.8, then the expenditure multiplier will be = 1/(1-0.8) = 5
Using the first scenario with an increase in government spending by $100million, the resulting change in GDP would be
Change in GDP = change in autonomous expenditure × Multiplier
= 100 × 5 = $500 million
<em>Scenario 2, MPC of 0.95</em>
Expenditure Multiplier = 1/(1-0.95) = 20
Change in GDP= 100 × 20 = $2000 million
Answer:
105.88
Explanation:
The consumer price index measures the changes in price of a basket of good. It is used to measure inflation.
CPI = Current year price / base year price x 1000
90/85 x 100 = 105.88
Answer:
See explanation section
Explanation:
Requirement A
Insto Photo Company
Journal Entries
Date Accounts Name Debit Credit
December 1, 2016 Inventory $25,000
Notes payable $25,000
<em>Note</em>: As the merchandise company issued a note for the credit purchase of merchandise inventory, notes payable is used instead of accounts payable.
Dec. 31, 2016 Interest expense $250
Interest payable $250
<em>Note: </em>Adjusting entry is needed as the fiscal year is ended on 31st December, therefore, there will be an accrued interest expense to be paid for one month. The calculation of interest expense = $25,000 × 12% × (30 ÷ 360) [assuming 1 year = 360 days, 1 month = 30 days]. = $250 for one month's accrual.
Requirement B
March 31, 2017 Interest expense $ 750
Interest payable $ 250
Notes payable $25,000
Cash $26,000
<em>Note:</em> At the end of the maturity date, the buyer will pay all the bills of the notes plus interest. Interest payable becomes debit as it did not pay by the buyer on 31st December, 2016. The remaining interest = $25,000 × 12% × (90 ÷ 360) = $750. Total cash will be paid after the maturity = $25,000 + $250 + $750 = $26,000.
Answer: analysis using numerical tools
Explanation:
The main reason for the creation of Antitrust laws was to give power to the government to block some particular mergers and also break up the large firms to smaller ones.
Antitrust regulations would most likely require analysis using numerical tools in order to determine whether or not a merger may enhance competition.
