The computation of the gross profit rate is shown below:
Gross profit rate = Gross profit ÷ Net sales revenue
where,
Net sales revenue = Sales revenue - Sales return and allowances - sales discounts
= $160,000 - $3,000 - $7,000

Answer:
$200 million
$30 million
Explanation:
When the requiredreserce ratio is 15 percent or 0.15 , then the money multiplier is (1 / required reserve ratio) or (1/0.15 = 0.67)
Now, change in money supply = money multiplier * open market purchase of government bonds.
Here , the Federal Reserve a $30 million open market purchase Of govemment bonds.
As a result of this;
Money Supply increases by (6.7 * $30 million) = $200 million.
This is the maximum amount the money supply could Increase.
Now, if the bank holds. $30 million as excess reserves, then money supply could increase by as much as $30 million. This is the smallest amount themoney supply could increase.
So, If the required reserve ratio is 15 percent the largest possible increase in the money supply that could result is $200 million- and the smallest possible increase is $30 million.
