5. In order to financially stimulate the nation, the Federal government injected $900 billion dollars into the economy. However, the results were less than spectacular. One reason could have been a failure to understand the marginal propensity to consume. Assume the marginal propensity to consume (MPC) was only 0.3. How much of that $900 billion went to increased consumption? Where did the rest of the money go?

Increased consumption: ________________________

Where did the rest go? _________________________

Using MPC = 0.3, what is the multiplier (the actual numerical value please):

___________________

What was the total change in spending as a result of the stimulus package?

A block with mass m =7.5 kg is hung from a vertical spring. When the mass hangs in equilibrium, the spring stretches x = 0.25 m. While at this equilibrium position, the mass is then given an initial push downward at v = 4.1 m/s. The block oscillates on the spring without friction.

After t = 0.3 s what is the speed of the block?

What is the magnitude of the maximum acceleration of the block?

At t = 0.3 s what is the magnitude of the net force on the block?

Where is the potential energy of the system the greatest?

At the highest point of the oscillation.

At the new equilibrium position of the oscillation.

At the lowest point of the oscillation.

Flaming Foliage Sky Tours is a small sightseeing tour company in New Hampshire. The firm specializes in aerial tours of the New England countryside during September and October, when the fall color is at its peak. Until recently, the company had not had an accounting department. Routine bookkeeping tasks, such as billing, had been handled by an individual who had little formal training in accounting. As the business began to grow, however, the owner recognized the need for more formal accounting procedures. Jacqueline Frost has recently been hired as the new controller, and she will have the authority to hire an assistant.

During her first week on the job, Frost was given the following performance report. The report was prepared by Red Leif, the company’s manager of aircraft operations, who was planning to present it to the owner the next morning. “Look at these favorable variances for fuel and so forth,” Leif pointed out, as he showed the report to Frost. “My operations people are really doing a great job.” Later that day, Frost looked at the performance report more carefully. She immediately realized that it was improperly prepared and would be misleading to the company’s owner.

In spite of several favorable expense variances shown on the report above, the company’s September operating income was only about two-thirds of the expected level. Identify some of the possible reasons.

The variance report is misleading because the activity levels used for the comparison differ.
There is a large unfavorable variance in passenger revenue.
Favorable expense variances have no impact on operating income.
There are unfavorable variances in fixed expenses.

Prepare a revised expense variance report for September, which is based on the flexible budget prepared in part (1).(Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "Favorable" or "Unfavorable". Select "None" and enter "0" for no effect (i.e., zero variance). Round "per air mile" answers to 2 decimal places.)

Jacqueline Frost presented the revised expense report to Leif along with the memo explaining why the original performance report was misleading. Leif did not take it well. He complained of Frost’s “interference” and pointed out that the company had been doing just fine without her. “I’m taking my report to the owner tomorrow,” Leif insisted. “Yours just makes us look bad.” What are Frost’s ethical obligations in this matter? (Select which of the following statements (is) are true by selecting an "X".)

Frost should let Leif decide on the best course of action.
Frost should resign in protest.
Frost should show the owner her memo to Leif as well as the revised expense variance report.
Frost has an ethical obligation to make the owner aware that she believes Leif's analysis is faulty.
