Suppose that a certain country has an MPC of 0.8 and a real GDP of $400 billion. If its investment spending decreases by $5 billion, what will be its new level of real GDP
Answer: $375 billion.
Explanation:
Using the MPC, one can calculate a multiplier that shows how much GDP changes when there is a change in investment.
Multiplier = 1 / ( 1 - MPC)
= 1 / (1 - 0.8)
= 1 / (0.2)
= 5
Change in GDP = change in investment spending * multiplier
= -5 billion * 5
= -$25 billion
New level of GDP = 400 - 25
= $375 billion.

For bonds issued 2019, the taxpayer must amortize bond premium using which of the following methods?
a. Straight-Line Method
b. Constant Yield Method
c. Activity Depreciation Method
d. Double Declining Balance
Answer:
For bonds issued 2019, the taxpayer must amortize bond premium using the following method:
a. Straight-Line Method.
Explanation:
The premium paid by the taxpayer for a bond represents part of the cost basis of the bond. The bond premium can be tax-deductible at a rate spread out (amortized) over the bond's lifespan. The straight-line method for bond premium amortization is considered to be a simpler method than the effective interest amortization method. While the straight-line amortization divides the bond's total premium over the remaining payment periods, the effective interest, which is more complicated, computes some unique values at all points during the amortization process.
The marginal propensity to consume (MPC) is:_______.A) 0.90.
B) 0.10.
C) 0.80.
D) 0.95.
E) 0.75.
Answer: E) 0.75
Explanation:
Marginal Propensity to Consume measures the amount that a person spends on consumption when their income increases.
It is calculated as;
= change in consumption/ change in income
Income went from $0 to $500 so change = $500
Consumption went from $300 to $675 so change is = $375
MPC = 375/500
= 0.75
Louise purchased her primary residence for $240,000. As part of the closing procedure, she paid $2,300 in a loan origination fee, $750 to a lawyer to review the purchase contract and other closing papers, $150 for a property survey, and $800 for title insurance. She also gave the real estate agent a $75 gift basket in appreciation for his hard work. What is Louise's basis in the residence
Answer:
$241,700
Explanation:
Luoise's basis in her house = purchase price + any costs associated and necessary to complete the purchase process = $240,000 (price of the house) + $750 (lawyer's fees) + $150 (property survey) + $800 (title insurance) = $241,700
In order to determine a house's basis, you must assume that you are purchasing the house using cash, no fees directly related to a mortgage are included, nor gifts to real estate agents.
Gamble Corporation had beginning inventory $100,000, cost of goods purchased $700,000, and ending inventory $140,000. What was Gamble's inventory turnover
Answer:
Inventory turnover= 5.5
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the cost of goods sold using the following formula:
COGS= beginning finished inventory + cost of goods purchased - ending finished inventory
COGS= 100,000 + 700,000 - 140,000
COGS= 660,000
Now, the inventory turnover:
Inventory turnover= Cost of goods sold/ average inventory
Average inventory= (beginning inventory + ending inventory) / 2
Average inventory= (100,000 + 140,000)/2= 120,000
Inventory turnover= 660,000 / 120,000
Inventory turnover= 5.5
How successful is ABC Company relative to the industry average and leaders in the small specialty retail store industry? Write two paragraphs or more. Include ratios found in the IBIS database to support your conclusion.
Answer: The first ratio, which is the current ratio have them sitting at 5.5 when the average for 2016-2017 was 1.7
Explanation:
From doing three ratios, ABC are doing well above average when it comes to the ratios carried out. The first ratio, which is the current ratio have them sitting at 5.5 when the average for 2016-2017 was 1.7 this doesn't mean they are worth meeting up with their target yet but it would require more loans and them building on what they currently have. This ratio informs them on their stand on taking more loans or not.
With an average of 2.0 in the 2016-2017 year, they are at a 1.2. The lower this ratio is the more debt they can put themselves in and not have to worry about if they could pay it off or not

Briefly describe the differences among international bond, bank and equity markets. Would you support an MNC that favors financing through bonds issues or would you rather support one
Answer:
Answer to this question is explained below in detail.
Explanation:
This question is not complete. This has two parts a) and b). Part a) is complete and b) is incomplete. I have written down the complete question and will try to answer completely.
a) Briefly describe the differences among international bond, bank and equity markets.
b) Would you support an MNC that favors financing through bonds issues or would you rather support one that favors financing through stock issues?
Solution:
a) We are asked to differentiate between international bond, bank and equity markets.
All three terms are related to raising funds, lending or borrowing to raise the capital for some government or for any company.
Let's start with International Bonds first.
International Bonds : In this globalized world, a company can raise its capital through getting debt in the form of international bonds from international institutions over the assets value of the company. For example: XYZ company has a asset value of 10 million dollars, so it can get international bonds accordingly.
International Equity markets: Again due to interlinked world, companies and institutions all over the world can invest their funds in any company around the globe. And through equity markets companies can sell their shares to raise its capital depending upon the asset value of the company.
International Banks: International banks are international institutions which raise capital in particular country and have branches all over the world. It can lend funds to companies on particular interest rates. Furthermore, all those bonds are generated in these banks as well.
b) Supporting an MNC that favors financing through bonds issues or through equity markets or stock issues will depend on the debt/equity ratio of the company. If it is low, company should go for debt or bond issues. If it is high then it should opt for stock issues.
Tanner takes out a loan today and repays the loan with eight level annual payments, with the first payment one year from today. The payments are calculated based on an annual effective interest rate of 4.75%. The principal portion of the fifth payment is 699.68.
Calculate the total amount of interest paid on this loan.
a) 1239
b) 1647
c) 1820
d) 2924
Answer:
Total interest = 1239.12
Explanation:
Assume;
Loan amount = P
Annual payment = X
P[1st payment] = X/[1+0475]⁸
P[1st payment] = X/[1.0475]⁸
P[5th payment] = X/[1+0.0475]⁴
P[5th payment] = X/[1.0475]⁴
P[5th payment] = 699.68
So,
X = 699.68[1.0475]⁴
X = 842.39
P = (842.39/0.0475)(1 – 1/1.0475⁸)
P = 5,500 (Approx)
Total interest = [842.39 x 8] - 5,500
Total interest = 1239.12

A corporation purchases 20 000 shares of its own $20 par common stock for $35 per share, recording it at cost. What will be the effect on total stockholders' equity?A. Increase by $400,000.B. Increase by $700,000.C. Decrease by $400,000.D. Decrease by $700,000.
Answer:
D. Decrease by $700,000.
Explanation:
The computation of the effect on the total stockholder equity is as follows
Given that
Number of shares is 20,000
Per share $35 recorded at a cost
Own shares at par is $20
As we know that if we purchased our own stock so it would be called as a treasury stock and the same is to be deducted from the shareholder equity as it is a contra equity account that reduce the equity balance
Now the effect would be
= 20,000 shares × $35
= $700,000
Hence, it is decreased by $700,000
The return on total assets is computed by dividing net sales by average total assets. net income by ending total assets. net income by average total assets. net sales by ending total assets.
Answer:
The return on total assets is computed by dividing net income by ending total assets
Explanation:
Here in this question, we are interested in knowing the mathematical formula that can be used to calculate the return on total assists
Mathematically, to calculate the return on total assets, two factors are needed.
These factors are;
i) Company’s net income

What is the coupon rate for a bond with 3 years until maturity, a price of $1,053.46, and a yield to maturity of 6%
Answer:
8%
Explanation:
we can use the approximate yield to maturity formula to calculate the coupon rate:
YTM = {coupon + [(face value - market value) / n]} / [(face value + market value) / 2]
0.06 = {coupon + [(1,000 - 1,053.46) / 3]} / [(1,000 + 1,053.46) / 2]
0.06 x 1,026.73 = coupon - 17.82
61.6038 + 17.82 = coupon
79.42 = coupon
since this is just an approximation, I would guess that the coupon rate is 8%, instead of 7.94%

An investor views a high debt-to-equity ratio and low times-interest-earns ratio as favorable signs of a company's ability to meet its long-term obligations. True False
Answer:
False
Explanation:
Instead the reverse is the case. A high times-interest-earned ratio and a low debt-to-equity ratio is viewed by an investor as favorable signs of a company's ability to meet its long-term obligations. When the two measures are combined and they look favorable, investors are attracted to invest in the said company. So companies should work to ensure that the times-interest-earned ratio is high enough to be attractive to investors.
