(a)Stockholders’ equity
Paid-in capital
Common stock, $10 par
$2,650,000 $2,915,000
In excess of par value $106,000
Total paid-in capital

10×$26,500=$265,000
$2,650,000+$265,000=$2,915,000
$14×$26,500=$371,000-265,000
=$106,000
$265,000+$26,500=$291,500
Answer:
Government spending would have to change by <u>$1.6 billion</u>
Explanation:
The marginal propensity to consume (MPC) refers to the proportion of an increase in aggregate income that is spent on consumption of commodities by a consumer.
Since from the question, we have:
MPC = Marginal propensity to consume = 0.75
The MPC can therefore be used to calculate the fiscal multiplier which measures the effect of government spending on real GDP as follows:
Fiscal multiplier = 1 / (1 - MPC) = 1 / (1 - 0.75) = 1 / 0.25 = 4.0
Therefore, we have:
Change in government spending = Fiscal multiplier * Amount of targeted increase real GDP = 4.0 * $400 million = $1.6 billion
Therefore, government spending would have to change by <u>$1.6 billion</u> to generate $400 million increase in real GDP.
Answer:
The Absolute Advantage Theory assumed that only bilateral trade could take place between nations and only in two commodities that are to be exchanged.
Explanation:
In economics, the principle of absolute advantage refers to the ability of a party (an individual, a firm, or a country) to produce more of a good or service than competitors while using the same amount of resources.
Answer:
Allocative efficiency is about distributing or allocating resources in the best possible manner. E.g. in order to fight the current pandemic, more resources ($) is allocated to different health care institutions.
Productive efficiency is about how a company or a person uses the resources that it has in order to produce the greatest amount of benefits at the lowest possible cost. E.g. in a hospital, if a doctor is able to treat 15 patients per day, his/her productive efficiency will be higher than another doctor that only treats 10 patients per day.
