Answer:
Income statement prepared under the absorption costing method
Sales 2,600,000
Less: Cost of Goods Sold
Beginning Inventory 0
Add: Cost of Goods Produced
Materials Used 1,218,000
Labor Costs 522,000
Variable Overhead 87,000
Fixed Overhead 130,500
Less: Ending Inventory (1,957,500/4,350)×350 (157,500) 1,800,000
Gross Profit 800,000
Less: Operating Costs:
Selling and Administrative Expenses:
Variable Sales/Administrative Costs (60,000)
Fixed Sales/Administrative Costs (25,000)
Net Profit 715,000
Explanation:
Product/Manufacturing Cost under Absorption Costing = Direct Materials + Direct Labor + Variable Overheads + Fixed Overheads
Period Cost under Absorption Costing = All Non-Manufacturing Expenses
Answer:The marginal propensity to consume (MPC) is 0.65
The multiplier or k = 2.85714 rounded to 2.86
Explanation:
The MPC pertains to the fraction of additional disposable income that consumers choose to spend. It is used to gauge the consumption increase driven by rising income.
MPC can be calculated as follows,
MPC = Change in consumption / change in income
MPC = 0.65 / 1
MPC = 0.65
To derive the multiplier, we apply this formula,
Multiplier or k = 1 / (1 - MPC)
k = 1 / (1 - 0.65)
k = 2.85714 rounded to 2.86
