Answer:
Suppose the economy is experiencing an output gap of –3%
a. Monetary policy or fiscal policy can be used to raise actual output toward potential output when:
The government can increase its spending or reduce taxes, which will shift the IS curve to the right and increase GDP.
The Fed can reduce the interest rate, which will shift the MP curve down and increase GDP.
b. The policies identified in part a,
can be used together to raise actual output toward potential output.
Explanation:
Investment-Savings (IS) curve shows all the levels of interest rates and output (GDP) at which an economy's total desired investment (I) equals its total desired saving (S). This equilibrium can be achieved at a level of interest rate that maximizes output. The IS curve slopes downward, and to the right because at a lower interest rate, investment is higher, which produces more total output (GDP) for the economy.
Answer:
20.1%
Explanation:
In capital asset prcing model (CAPM), cost of equity (or cost of retained earnings in this context) is calculated as below:
<em>Cost of equity = risk-free rate of return + beta x (market index return - risk-free rate of return)</em>
Please note that <em>(market index return - risk-free rate of return)</em> is equal to <em>market risk premium</em>
Putting all the number together, we have:
Cost of equity/retained earnings = 2.5% + 2.2 x 8% = 20.1%
<em>Note: The dividend growth rate, tax rate & stock standard deviation is not relevant in answering the question.</em>
Answer:
Production budget:
Projected sales= 64,000
Ending inventory= 7,000
Beginning inventory= (2,600)
Total= 68,400 units
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Pasadena Candle Inc. projected sales of 64,000 candles for January. The estimated January 1 inventory is 2,600 units, and the desired January 31 inventory is 7,000 units.
Production budget= projected sales + ending inventory - beginning inventory
Production budget:
Projected sales= 64,000
Ending inventory= 7,000
Beginning inventory= (2,600)
Total= 68,400 units
