Given the following variables in the open economy aggregate expenditure model, autonomous consumption (c0) = 800, autonomous investment (i0) = 600, government spending (g0) = 1700, export spending (x0) = 700, autonomous import spending (m0) = 400, taxes (tp) = 200, marginal propensity to consume (c1) = 0.75, marginal propensity to invest (i1) = 0.2, and marginal propensity to import (m1) = 0.15. a. calculate the equilibrium level of income for the open economy aggregate expenditure model. (show all your steps carefully.) b. if there is a decrease in the marginal propensity to consume from 0.75 to 0.65, calculate the new equilibrium level of income and the value of the multiplier. (again, show all your steps carefully.)

Alocation analysis has been narrowed down to two locations, akron and boston. the main factors in the decision will be the supply of raw materials, which has a weight of .50, transportation cost, which has a weight of .40, and labor cost, which has a weight of .10. the scores for raw materials, transportation, and labor are for akron 60, 80, and 70, respectively; for boston 70, 50, and 90, respectively. given this information and a minimum acceptable composite score of 75, we can say that the manager should:

Partnerships are the most common type of business firms in the world. t/f

Which of the following statements is correct? a. two firms with identical sales and operating costs but with different amounts of debt and tax rates will have different operating incomes by definition. b. free cash flow (fcf) is, essentially, the cash flow that is available for interest and dividends after the company has made the investments in current and fixed assets that are necessary to sustain ongoing operations. c. retained earnings as reported on the balance sheet represent cash and, therefore, are available to distribute to stockholders as dividends or any other required cash payments to creditors and suppliers. d. if a firm is reporting its income in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, then its net income as reported on the income statement should be equal to its free cash flow. e. after-tax operating income is calculated as ebit(1 - t) + depreciation.
