Vesna [10]

Answer:

Builtrite has higher than average operating expenses

Explanation:

Subtracting cost of goods sold from net sales will give you gross profit. The reason of high gross profit could be company is able to sell its products at a higher price or it is able to keep its cost of goods sold at a lower level than industry standards.

A higher-than-industry-average gross profit margin increases your chances of generating a net profit provided that you are able to keep your expenses within industry average levels.

Operating profit is the pre-tax profit or in other words it is calculated by subtracting operating expenses from the gross profit. Operating profit margin is equal to operating income divided by the total revenue. A lower operating margin despite of having higher gross profit is because the company is not able to control its operating expenses or in other words they are incurring higher operating expenses as compare to industry.

At your future job, you get an unexpected raise from $50,000 a year to $75,000 a year. With the increased income, you decide to

The Marginal propensity to consume is 0.4

Here, we are calculating the marginal propensity to consume (MPC).

Change in Income = New Income - Old Income

Change in Income = $75,000 - $50,000

Change in Income = $25,000

Change in Consumption = New Consumption - Old Consumption

Change in Consumption = $40,000 - $30,000

Change in Consumption = $10,000

Marginal propensity to consume = Change in Consumption / Change in Income

Marginal propensity to consume = $10,000 / $25,000

Marginal propensity to consume = 2/5

Marginal propensity to consume = 0.4

Therefore, the Marginal propensity to consume is 0.4.
