If the currency in circulation is $500 billion, the required reserve ratio is 5 percent, checkable deposits are $700 billion, and excess reserves total $10 billion, then the money multiplier for the M1 is
Answer:
2.35
Explanation:
The computation of the money multiplier for the M1 is shown below:
As we know that
Money supply(M1) = Currency in circulation + Checkable deposits
M1 money supply is = $500 billion + $700 billion
= $1,200 billion
Now the M1 money multiplier is
We know that
Money multiplier = Money supply ÷ Monetary base
where,
Monetary base = Currency in circulation + Bank excess reserves
= $500 billion + $10 billion
= $510 billion
We know that,
Money multiplier = Money supply ÷ Monetary base
= $1,200 ÷ $510
= 2.35

In cost-volume-profit analysis, the unit contribution margin is: Group of answer choices Sales price per unit less unit total cost per unit. Sales price per unit less unit fixed cost per unit. Sales price per unit less total variable cost per unit. )Sales price per unit less cost of goods sold per unit. The same as the contribution margin ratio.
Answer: Sales price per unit less total variable cost per unit.
Explanation:
Cost-volume-profit analysis works by dividing the expenses faced by a business in the production and/ or selling of goods into fixed and variable costs.
To calculate the contribution margin in such a scenario, the Total variable cost incurred per unit is deducted from the sales price per unit. From this figure, the fixed cost can then be subtracted to find the operating income per unit.
If one wants to find the breakeven volume, you can divide the Fixed assets by the Contribution margin.

Bramble Company purchased a new van for floral deliveries on January 1, 2018. The van cost $66000 with an estimated life of 5 years and $13500 salvage value at the end of its useful life. The double-declining-balance method of depreciation will be used. What is the balance of the Accumulated Depreciation account at the end of 2019
Answer:
$42,240
Explanation:
The computation of the balance of the Accumulated Depreciation account at the end of 2019 is as follows;
But before that the depreciation rate is
= 1 ÷ 5 × 2
= 40%
For the first year, the depreciation expense is
= $66,000 × 40%

Identify which statement is a characteristic of long-run for a firm.
A. Time period with at least one fixed element
B. Time period with the least control over constraints
C. Time period of determining quantity and cost that yields the greatest profit
D. Time period when constraints are most likely to be variable
Answer:
D. Time period when constraints are most likely to be variable
Explanation:
The long run period of a firm is when the factors of production such as land, labor , capital etc varies. In this period, a firm is flexible in its production decision due to the variability in the factors of production.
In the long run, a firm has time to build a bigger factory hence respond to changes in demand. Also, the price level(general), expectation, and contractual wages , all adjust to the prevailing economic condition in the long run period.
Answer:
D. Time period when constraints are most likely to be variable
Explanation:
The long run is a period of time in which all factors of production and costs are variable. In the long run, firms are able to adjust all costs, whereas in the short run firms are only able to influence prices through adjustments made to production levels.
