Cadion co. owned a controlling interest in knieval inc. cadion reported sales of $420,000 during 2011 while knieval reported $280,000. inventory costing $28,000 was transferred from knieval to cadion (upstream) during the year for $56,000. of this amount, twenty-five percent was still in ending inventory at year's end. total receivables on the consolidated balance sheet were $112,000 at the first of the year and $154,000 at year-end. no intra-entity debt existed at the beginning or ending of the year. using the direct approach, what is the consolidated amount of cash collected by the business combination from its customers?

Suppose your rich uncle gave you $50,000, which you plan to use for graduate school. you will make the investment now, you expect to earn an annual return of 6%, and you will make 4 equal annual withdrawals, beginning 1 year from today. under these conditions, how large would each withdrawal be so there would be no funds remaining in the account after the 4th?

Suppose the government enacts a stimulus program composed of $600 billion of new government spending and $300 billion of tax cuts for an economy currently producing a gdp of $14 comma 000 billion. if all of the new spending occurs in the current year and the government expenditure multiplier is 1.5, the expenditure portion of the stimulus package will add nothing percentage points of extra growth to the economy. (round your response to two decimal places.)

Total marketing effort is a term used to describe the critical decision factors that affect demand: price, advertising, distribution, and product quality. define the variable x to represent total marketing effort. a typical model that is used to predict demand as a function of total marketing effort is based on the power function: d = axb suppose that a is a positive number. different model forms result from varying the constant b. sketch the graphs of this model for b = 0, b = 1, 0< b< 1, b< 0, and b> 1. (we encourage you to use excel to do this.) what does each model tell you about the relationship between demand and marketing effort? what assumptions are implied? are they reasonable? how would you go about selecting the appropriate model?
