According to the Money Multiplier theory, the central bank can change the supply of money to the economy by changing the reserve requirements.
What do you mean by Money Multiplier?The total amount of money in a commercial bank is created, in general, the number of stocks multiplied by a set amount of central bank money (multiplier).
If banks do not have excess deposits, the total withdrawal amount is the same as the repayment deadlines. Theoretically, banks will never have a surplus.
[tex]\rm\,money \; multiplier = 1/ r \\\\ \rm\,money \; multiplier = 1/0.25\\\\ \rm\,money \; multiplier = 4\\\\(r = reserve \;requirement)[/tex]
So, if I know that the multiplier rate is 4, then if the central bank creates the reserve requirement at 0.25 then the amount that will be kept as reserve will be 0.25 multiplied by 1000 which is $250.
Thus, the total amount of money that can be created will be a multiplier multiplied by 1,000 which is 4*1,000 = $4,000.

Suppose that, in a competitive market without government regulations, the equilibrium price of milk is $2.50 per gallon.
Complete the following table by indicating whether each of the statements is an example of a price ceiling or a price floor and whether it is binding or non-binding.
Statement Price Control Binding or Not
The government prohibits grocery stores from selling
milk for more than $2.30 per gallon.
The government has instituted a legal minimum price
of $2.30 per gallon for milk.
Due to new regulations, grocery stores that would like
to pay better wages in order to hire more workers are
prohibited from doing so.
Answer:
Price ceiling binding
price floor non binding
price ceiling binding
Explanation:
A price floor is when the government or an agency of the government sets the minimum price of a product. A price floor is binding if it is set above equilibrium price.
The minimum price is $2.30 which is less than the equilibrium price of $2.50. Thus, its a non binding price floor
Price ceiling is when the government or an agency of the government sets the maximum price for a product. It is binding when it is set below equilibrium price.
Effects of a binding price ceiling
1. It leads to shortages
2. it leads to the development of black markets
3. it prevents producers from raising price beyond a certain price
4. It lowers the price consumers pay for a product. This increases consumer surplus
the maximum price is 2.30 which is less than the equilibrium price of $2.50. Thus, its a binding price ceiling
The closer the smoothing constant, ALPHA, is to 0 the greater the reaction to the most recent demand the greater the dampening, or smoothing, effect the more accurate the forecast will be the less accurate the forecast will be
Answer: the greater the dampening, or smoothing effect
Explanation:
The smoothing constant determines the level at which a forecast is influenced by previous observations. It simply determine the sensitivity of forecasts with regards to the changes in demand.
It should be noted that large values of α will lead to a scenario whereby forecasts will be more responsive to the more recent levels. On the other hand, the smaller values will result in a damping effect. Therefore, the closer the smoothing constant to α, the greater the dampening, or smoothing effect.

The conversion cost per equivalent unit for April is
a.$2.81
b.$2.49
c.$2.89
d.$3.24
Answer: c. $2.89 per unit
Explanation:
Using the First-In, First-Out method, we need to find the equivalent units first:
= Equivalent opening units + Units started and completed + Equivalent ending units
= (Opening units left to be completed) + (Units completed - opening units) + (proportion of closing units completed with respect to conversion)
= (3,000 * (1 - 40%)) + (12,000 - 3,000) + (1,000 * 40%)
= 11,200 units
Conversion costs = 32,363
Conversion cost per units:
= 32,363 / 11,200 units
= $2.89 per unit

Variable costs per unit:
Direct materials $ 50
Direct labor $ 20
Variable manufacturing overhead $ 11
Fixed costs:
Fixed manufacturing overhead $ 69,160
The absorption costing method includes all costs related to production, both fixed and variable. The unit product cost is calculated using direct material, direct labor, and total unitary manufacturing overhead.
First, we need to calculate the unitary production cost:
Unit product cost= direct material + direct labor + total unitary overhead
Unitary fixed overhead= 69,160 / 2,470= $28
Unit product cost= 50 + 20 + (11 + 28)= $109
Now, the gross margin:
Unitary Gross margin= selling price - Unit product cost
Unitary Gross margin= 146 - 109
Unitary Gross margin= $37
Total gross margin= 37*2,040
Total gross margin= $75,480

Answer:
C. the income effect only
Explanation:
In microeconomics, the income effect is the change in demand for a good or service caused by a change in a consumer's purchasing power resulting from a change in real income. This change can be the result of a rise in wages etc., or because existing income is freed up by a decrease or increase in the price of a good that money is being spent on
Assume that Zonk is a potential leveraged buyout candidate. Assume that the buyer intends to put in place a capital structure that has 70 percent debt with a pretax borrowing cost of 14 percent and 30 percent common equity. Compute the weighted average cost of capital for Zonk based on the new capital structure.
A. 8.85%.
B. 12.56%.
C. 13.01%.
D. 9.94%.
Answer:
A.8.85%
Explanation:
Computation to determine the weighted average cost of capital for Zonk based on the new capital structure.
First step is to calculate the Cost of equity capital using this formula
Cost of equity capital = Risk free rate + (Beta*Market premium)
Let plug in the formula
Cost of equity capital = 2.3% + (1.13*5.3%)
Cost of equity capital=8.28%
Now let determine theWeighted average cost capital
Weighted average cost capital = [.70*.14*(1-.35)]+(.30*.0828)
Weighted average cost capital= [.70*.14*.65]+.02484
Weighted average cost capital=0.0637+.02484
Weighted average cost capital= .0885*100
Weighted average cost capital= 8.85%
Therefore the weighted average cost of capital for Zonk based on the new capital structure is 8.85%
Concord Corporation took a physical inventory on December 31 and determined that goods costing $225,000 were on hand. Not included in the physical count were $20,400 of goods purchased from Pelzer Corporation, FOB shipping point, and $22,000 of goods sold to Alvarez Company for $31,400, FOB destination. Both the Pelzer purchase and the Alvarez sale were in transit at year-end.
Required:
What amount should Stallman report as its December 31 inventory?
Answer:
$267,400
Explanation:
Calculation to determine What amount should Stallman report as its December 31 inventory?
Using this formula
December 31 inventory=Goods costing on hand+Goods purchased+FOB shipping point
Let plug in the formula
December 31 inventory=$225,000+$20,400+$22,000
December 31 inventory=$267,400
Therefore the amount that Stallman should report as its December 31 inventory is $267,400
