To find the margin of safety in dollars, subtract the breakeven sales from the budged or actual sales.
Current sales are 41,800 units
Break even point in units is 33,900
Cost per unit is $170
(33,900)($170) = $5,763,000
(41,800)($170) = $7,106,000
The margin of safety in dollars is:
$7,106,000 - $5,763,000 = $1,343,000
The answer should be A, as grants and scholarships are easier to attain
It provides the added necessities we need.
Answer:
$100 billion
Explanation:
Real GDP is currently = $13.55 trillion
Potential real GDP = $14.0 trillion
Gap = $500 billion
Government purchases multiplier = 5.0
Tax multiplier = 4.0
To increase aggregate demand by $500 billion, the required increase in government expenditure is:
= (1 ÷ government purchases multiplier) × change in aggregate demand
= (1 ÷ 5) × $500
= $100 billion
Therefore, the government expenditure need to be increased by $100 billion.
