. Gwen is leading a meeting and wants to make sure that they stick to the agenda and end on time. What should she do to move the meeting along? a. Say as much as possible during the meeting. b. Move divergent topics to a separate list to be discussed later. c. Not worry so much about time; the most important thing is to make sure that all agenda items are discussed fully. d. Ask anyone who monopolizes the conversation to leave.
Answer:
b.
Explanation:
When leading a meeting with many different topics, the best way to move the meeting along faster so that it ends in time is to move divergent topics to a separate list to be discussed later. This would remove the unimportant topics from that specific meeting and allow the very specific important topics to be discussed thoroughly in that meeting, thus moving it along but still being as efficient as possible. The divergent topics can be scheduled to be discussed at a later date when they are of a higher priority.

Compute the following liquidity ratios for Coca-Cola and for PepsiCo. (Round current ratio to 2 decimal places, e.g. 6.25 and all other answers to 1 decimal place, e.g. 15.1.)
Coca-Cola PepsiCo
(1) Current ratio : 1 : 1
(2) Accounts receivable turnover times times
(3) Average collection period days days
(4) Inventory turnover times times
(5) Days in inventory days days
Answer:
Please find the detailed answer in the explanation section.
Explanation:
1. Current ratio = total current assets ÷ total current liabilities
For Coca-cola: $17,551 ÷ 13,721
= 1.28
For Pepsi : $12,571 ÷ $8,756
= 1.44
2.Accounts receivable turnover times times = Net sales ÷ average (net) accounts receivable
For Coca-cola: $30,990 ÷ $3,424
= 9.1
For Pepsi : $43,232 ÷ $4,654
= 9.3
3. Average collection period days days = (Accounts Receivable ÷ Net sales ) x 365 days
For coca-cola: ($3,424 ÷ 30,990) x 365 days
=40.3 days
For pepsi: ($4,654 ÷ $43,232) x 365 days
= 39.3 days
4. Inventory turnover times = Sales ÷ Inventory
For Coca-cola: $30,990 ÷ $2,271
=13.6
For Pepsi: $43,232 ÷ $2,570
=16.8
5.Days in inventory days = (Average Inventory ÷ Cost of sales) x 365 days
For Coca-cola: ($2,271 ÷ $11,088 ) x365 days
=74.8 days
For Pepsi: ($2,570 ÷ $20,099 ) x365 days
=46.7days
Consider the following scenario and Identify which formal research method would be appropriate.
1. You are preparing a comprehensive report on telecommunication practices in your industry. You need some background information on the history of Internet use in professional environments.
A. Access traditional sources and electronic sources.
B. Conduct primary research for firsthand information.
C. Conduct a scientific experiment. Routine tasks often require informal research methods.
2. Identify which informal research technique would be most appropriate for each situation. After complaining about parking accommodations at your office, you have been asked by your boss to propose a simple solution that will satisfy your coworkers. The best informal information gathering technique for this situation would be to:_______.
A. Talk with your boss.
B. Conduct an informal survey
C. Look in the files.
3. Read the following scenario, and determine which is the best research approach.
While working for an international development agency, you must develop a presentation about primary and secondary education in the Middle East, a topic you are not familiar with. Which is the best research approach?
A. Formal. On the Internet, find statistics gathered by the United Nations showing the dropout rates of students by gender and age. Request that certain reports be sent to you, so you can examine the date yourself.
B. Informal. To get a local perspective on Middle Eastern affous, we nema to a professor there.
C. Informal. To get a local perspective on Middle Easter affairs, conduct a one survey of me who live in the area.
Answer: 1. A. Access traditional sources and electronic sources.
2. B. Conduct an informal survey
3. A. Formal. On the Internet, find statistics gathered by the United Nations showing the dropout rates of students by gender and age. Request that certain reports be sent to you, so you can examine the date yourself.
Explanation:
1. This is a research into the history of the internet in professional Environments. Considering how long the internet has been around which isn't too long but long enough that first hand information is not readily available, consulting Traditional sources and Electronic sources is the best way to go.
It will have information from the past that you can use to come up with a chronological report on the use of the internet in a professional setting.
2. This is not a serious research and involves your immediate surroundings so an informal method can be used. The best informal method would be an informal survey amongst your co-workers who are also affected by the problem. This survey will help you come up with a solution faster and easier because you are getting first hand information from those directly affected.
3. You are working for an International Development Agency and as such can not afford to present information that is false or void of due procedure in way because it will affect the reputation of the Agency if you do so.
For this reason your sources must be formal sources with definite information and the United Nations is a very good source for that. To go a step further you can request reports and double check the figures yourself to ensure that the information used is of the highest quality and accuracy.
The Rehe Comany sells its razors at $3 per unit. The company uses a first-in, first-out actual costing system. A fixed manufacturing cost rate is computed at the end of each year by dividing the actual fixed manufacturing costs by the actual production units. The following data are related to its first two years of operation:
2011 2012
Sales 1000 units
1200 units
Costs:
Variable manufacturing
Fixed manufacturing
Variable operating (marketing)
Fixed operating (marketing)
$ 700
700
1000
400
$ 500

1. Prepare income statements based on variable costing for each of the two years.
2. Prepare income statements based on absorption costing for each of the two years.
3. Prepare a numerical reconciliation and explanation of the difference between operating income for each year under absorption costing and variable costing.
4. Critics have claimed that a widely used accounting system has led to undesirable buildups of inventory levels. (a) Is variable costing or absorption costing more likely to lead to such buildups? Why? (b) What can be done to counteract undesirable inventory buildups?
Answer:
2011 2012
Sales 1000 units 1200 units
Production 1400 1000
Costs:
Variable manufacturing $700 $500
per unit $0.50
Fixed manufacturing $700 $700
Variable operating (marketing) $1000 $1200
Fixed operating (marketing) $400 $400
cogs under absorption costing 2011 = ($1,400 / 1,400) x 1,000 = $1,000
cogs under absorption costing 2012 = $400 + ($1,200 / 1,000) x 800 = $1,360

Gross margin: $2,000 $2,240
Operating costs: ($1,400) ($1,600)
Net operating income: $600 $640
3. Under variable costing, closing inventory = 400 units x $0.50 (variable production costs per unit) = $200.
Under absorption costing, closing inventory = 400 units x $1 (production cost per unit) = $400
Since closing inventory is $200 higher under absorption costing, then net operating income during 2011 increases by $200.
4. a) Variable costing is more likely to result in inventory buildups. Since variable costing determines the value of closing inventory only using variable manufacturing costs, their value is much lower. E.g. in this case the value of closing inventory 2011 under variable costing is $200, while under absorption costing it is $400. This means that less costs are transferred from one year to another.
b) Cost of goods sold must include all production costs (both variable and fixed). This way COGS costs cannot be over estimated during one year and under estimated the next.

At Jose's Bakersfield Espresso, Jose charges $3.50 for an average cup of espresso. If his fixed cost (salary, insurance, etc.) are $100,000 a year, and the variable cost for each cup of espresso are $1.25.
A) State the total fixed cost
B) State the variable cost
C)State the price
D) Given the available data, at what quantity will Jose's Bakersfield Espresso break even?
Answer:
A. $100,000
B. $1.25 per unit
C. $3.5 per unit
D. Break even point = 44,444 units
Explanation:
Break even point denotes that level of sales at which total costs equal or even total revenues.
Contribution represents the sales revenue in excess of variable costs to cover up for fixed costs.
Break even point in units = [tex]\frac{Fixed\ Cost}{Contribution\ per\ unit}[/tex]
Contribution per unit = Selling price per unit - Variable cost per unit
Contribution per unit = $3.50 - $1.25 = $2.25
Break even point = [tex]\frac{100,000}{2.25}[/tex] = 44,444 units approx.
Marina had an accident with her car and the repair bill came to $900. She didn't have any emergency fund money and no extra
money in her monthly budget, so she ended up borrowing from a pay-day loan company. As long as she can pay the loan back at
the end of the 30 day period she won't be charged any interest, technically. However, she did have to pay an $18 processing fee
per $100 that she borrowed.
If she were to consider the processing fee to represent interest paid in her formula, what would she discover to
be the annual interest rate she was charged on her short term loan?
Answer:
216%
Explanation:
Ordinary interest is computed on the basis of a 360-day year, so Marina's borrowing period is 1/12 of a year. The annual rate is then 12 times the rate Marina pays for 30 days:
12 × 18/100 = 216/100 = 216%
Marina would discover the annual interest rate is 216%.
Which of the following statements is CORRECT? a. If a company follows a policy of "matching maturities," this means that it matches its use of short-term debt with its use of long-term debt. b. If a company follows a policy of "matching maturities," this means that it matches its use of common stock with its use of long-term debt as opposed to short-term debt. c. Net working capital is defined as current assets minus the sum of payables and accruals, and any decrease in the current ratio automatically indicates that net working capital has decreased. d. Although short-term interest rates have historically averaged less than long-term rates, the heavy use of short-term debt is considered to be an aggressive strategy because of the inherent risks associated with using short-term financing. e. Net working capital is defined as current assets minus the sum of payables and accruals, and any increase in the current ratio automatically indicates that net working capital has increased.
Answer: d. Although short-term interest rates have historically averaged less than long-term rates, the heavy use of short-term debt is considered to be an aggressive strategy because of the inherent risks associated with using short-term financing.
Explanation:
Using short term financing is generally considered to be an aggressive strategy and is more often than not frowned upon by investors.
This is because of the reputational risk involved. A company that keeps using short term financing gives off the impression that it is barely keeping afloat and therefore relying on short term loans to continue functioning.
Other risks involved include, short term loans are usually given in small quantities so they cannot be used effectively as they will bareky go anywhere in terms of investment and their payback installment schedule can be in weeks instead of months like long term financing which can be detrimental to survival.
This is as opposed to a Conservative Approach that uses long term financing to finance most of it's Working Capital.
g On January 1, 2020, Marigold Company issued 10-year, $1,890,000 face value, 6% bonds, at par. Each $1,000 bond is convertible into 16 shares of Marigold common stock. Marigold’s net income in 2020 was $470,000, and its tax rate was 20%. The company had 94,000 shares of common stock outstanding throughout 2020. None of the bonds were converted in 2020. (a) Compute diluted earnings per share for 2020.
Answer:
$3.78
Explanation:
The First step is to calculate basic earning per share then making the adjustments to the basic earning per share to arrive to a diluted earning per share.
Basic Earning per Share = Earnings Attributable to Holders of Common Stock / Weighted Average Number of Common Stock Holders.
Earnings Attributable to Holders of Common Stock Calculation :
Net Income $470,000
Less Bond Interest ($1,890,000×6%×80%) ($90,720)
Earnings Attributable to Holders of Common Stock $379,280
Weighted Average Number of Common Stock Holders Calculation :
Outstanding Common Shares 94,000
Weighted Average Number of Common Stock Holders 94,000
Basic Earning per Share = $379,280 / 94,000 = $4.03
Diluted Earnings per Share = Adjusted Earnings Attributable to Holders of Common Stock / Adjusted Weighted Average Number of Common Stock Holders.
Adjusted Earnings Attributable to Holders of Common Stock Calculation :

As a manager your organization is constantly confronted with a variety of changes in the market or a wide range of situations. You have to recruit and select a manager for a group of employees responsible for several related products. You have just read about Fiedler’s Contingency model and decided to use the LPC score to aid you in selecting a leader for the management group. You have interviewed four candidates for the job (Erin, Josh, Michael, Tabitha) and the scores for each of the candidates were Erin=high LPC, Josh=moderately high LPC, Michael=middle LPC, Tabitha=low LPC. Which of the candidates would you hire?A. ErinB. JoshC. MichaelD. TabithaE. None of these.
Answer:
C. Michael
Explanation:
The least preferred coworker scale is a method used to determine the leadership style of individuals. It was developed by Fred Fiedler and American scholar.
When a person gives positive feedback on coworkers they are more relationship oriented and get a high LPC score.
For those that give negative feedback on coworkers, they are task oriented and will get low LPC scores.
Relationship oriented style is used when employees are experienced and know what to do, while task oriented leadership is needed when the team is less experienced or results need to be delivered in a short time.
The organization is constantly confronted with a variety of changes in the market or a wide range of situations. So this requires a mix of both relationship and task oriented leadership to adapt to changing organisational needs.
Michael is the best option with middle LPC score.
Isabella files her income tax return 35 days after the due date of the return without obtaining an extension from the IRS. Along with the return, she remits a check for $40,000, which is the balance of the tax she owes.Note: Assume 30 days in a month.Disregarding the interest element, enter Isabella's failure to file penalty and and failure to pay penalty.
Answer:
a. Failure to pay penalty = 400
b. Failure to file penalty = $4,000
Explanation:
The monthly rate for failure to pay penalty is 0.5% while the failure to file penalty.
Since it is assumed that there are 30 days in a month, the 35 days after the due date of the return without obtaining an extension from the IRS is will be counted as 2 months regardless of the fact that the second month is just 5 files when she filed.
Therefore, we have:
a. Failure to pay penalty = $40,000 * 0.5% * 2 = 400
b. Failure to file penalty = ($40,000 * 5% * 2) = $4,000
c. Total penalties = (Failure to file penalty - failure to pay penalty for the same period) + Failure to pay penalty = ($4,000 - $400) + $400 = $4,000.
Therefore, the total penalty Isabella will pay is $4,000.

Acme Products manufactures and markets a product called Grow Tall. Acme claims in its advertising that Grow Tall will make its users grow a minimum of six inches taller than their current height. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) will likely find that the ad is
Answer: a. deceptive, and the FTC may issue a cease-and-desist order.
Explanation:
A product that can increase human height by 6 inches sounds highly improbable and so is deceptive to people.
The Federal Trade Commission in it's role as a protector of Consumers from.unfair and deceitful practices in Commerce can act against Acme to stop them from deceiving the consumer.
One of the ways that the FTC can do this is by issuing a Cease and Desist order to Acme and if they fail to do so, can then take them to Court.

Cherokee Inc. is a merchandiser that provided the following information: Amount Number of units sold 13,000 Selling price per unit $ 16 Variable selling expense per unit $ 2 Variable administrative expense per unit $ 3 Total fixed selling expense $ 21,000 Total fixed administrative expense $ 15,000 Beginning merchandise inventory $ 11,000 Ending merchandise inventory $ 25,000 Merchandise purchases $ 88,000 Required: 1. Prepare a traditional income statement. 2. Prepare a contribution format income statement.
Answer:
1. Gross margin is $134,00; and Net profit is $33,000.
2. Contribution margin is $69,000; and Net profit is $33,000.
Explanation:
To prepare the statements, the following calculations are done first:
Sales revenue = Number of units sold * Selling price per unit = 13,000 * $16 = $208,000
Variable selling expenses = Number of units sold * Variable selling expense per unit = 13,000 * $2 = $26,000
Total selling expenses = Variable selling expenses + Total fixed selling expense = $26,000 + $21,000 = $47,000
Variable administrative expense = Number of units sold * Variable administrative expense per unit = 13,000 * $3 = $39,000
Total administrative expense = Variable administrative expense + Total fixed administrative expense = $39,000 + $15,000 = $54,000
Cost of goods sold = Beginning merchandise inventory + Merchandise purchases - Ending merchandise inventory = $11,000 + $88,000 - $25,000 = $74,000
The statements are now prepared as follows:
1. Prepare a traditional income statement.
The purpose of the traditional income statement is to obtain the gross margin and the net profit. These can be obtained as follows:

Answer:
Instructions are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Amount Number of units sold 13,000
Selling price per unit $16
Variable selling expense per unit $2
Variable administrative expense per unit $3
Total fixed selling expense $21,000
Total fixed administrative expense $15,000
Beginning merchandise inventory $11,000
Ending merchandise inventory $25,000
Merchandise purchases $88,000
First, we need to calculate the cost of goods sold:
COGS= beginning finished inventory + cost of goods manufactured - ending finished inventory
COGS= 11,000 + 88,000 - 25,000= 74,000
1) Traditional income statement:
Sales= 13,000*16= 208,000
COGS= (74,000)
Gross profit= 134,000
Total selling expense= (2*13,000) + 21,000= (47,000)
Total administrative expense= (3*13,000) + 15,000= (54,000)
Net operating income= 33,000
2) Contribution format income statement:
Total variable cost= (3 + 2)*13,000 + 74,000= $139,000
Sales= 208,000
Total variable cost= (139,000)
Contribution margin= 69,000
Total fixed selling expense= (21,000)
Total fixed administrative expense= (15,000)
Net operating income= 33,000
All of the following are techniques being used to make data centers more "green" except:________.
a) use of hydropower.
b) air-cooling.
c) use of wind power.
d) use of backup generators.
e) virtualization.
Answer:
d) use of backup generators.
Explanation:
Going green is a term used for practices that protect the environment by reducing, reusing and recycling resources. It involves engaging in ecologically friendly decisions and lifestyles with a view of preserving natural resources for future generations.
The use of backup generator causes production of green house gases like carbon dioxide. Green house gases erode the ozone layer and increases global warming.
The other options like use of hydropower, air cooling, use of wind power, and virtualisation do not have adverse effect on the environment.

Minstrel Manufacturing uses a job order costing system. During one month, Minstrel purchased $201,000 of raw materials on credit; issued materials to production of $198,000 of which $27,000 were indirect. Minstrel incurred a factory payroll of $153,000, of which $37,000 was indirect labor. Minstrel uses a predetermined overhead application rate of 150% of direct labor cost. If Minstrel incurred total overhead costs of $180,000 during the month, compute the amount of under- or overapplied overhead:
Answer:
Underapplied overhead= $6,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Direct labor= $153,000 - $37,000= $116,000
The predetermined overhead application rate= 150% of direct labor cost.
Actual overhead= $180,000
First, we need to allocate overhead:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Allocated MOH= 116,000*1.5= $174,000
Now, we can calculate the over/under allocation:
Under/over applied overhead= real overhead - allocated overhead
Under/over applied overhead= 180,000 - 174,000
Under/over applied overhead= $6,000 underallocated
Prist Co. had not provided a warranty on its products, but competitive pressures forced management to add this feature at the beginning of 2016. Based on an analysis of customer complaints made over the past two years, the cost of a warranty program was estimated at 0.2% of sales. During 2016, sales totaled $4,208,000. Actual costs of servicing products under warranty totaled $19,900.
Required:
Record the journal entry to show the effect of having the warranty program during 2019. (If no entry is required for a transaction/event, select "No journal entry required" in the first account field.)
Answer:
Event 1:
Debit Warranty expense for $8.416.
Credit Warranty liability $8,416.
Event 2:
Debit Warranty liability for $8,416.
Debit Warranty expenses for $11,484.
Credit Cash for $19,900.
Explanation:
Estimated warranty liability = $4,208,000 * 0.2% = $8,416.
Excess of actual and over extimated warranty liability = $19,900 - $8,416 = $11,484
The journal entries will look as follows:

Number of units produced 11,500 units 1.700 units
Direct labor cost ($29 per DLH) 0.16 DLH per unit 0.24 DLH per unit
Direct materials cost $2.10 per unit $3.10 per unit
Activity Overhead costs
Machine setup $94,104
Materials handling 53,000
Quality control inspections 73.200
$220,304
Required
a. Using direct labor hours as the basis for assigning overhoad costs, determine the total production cost per unit for each product line.
b. If the market price for Product A is $28.68 and the market price for Product B is $58, determine the profit or loss per unit for each.
c. Consider the following additional information about these two product lines. If ABC is used for assigning overhead costs to what is the cost per unit for Product A and for Product B?
Answer:
a. Product A $257,830 , Product B $57,086
b. Product A $71,990 , Product B $41,514
c. Hie, for this part of the question there is missing information regarding the Activities for the two Products for each Activity Center.
However the Procedure to deal with the required is explained below :
Step 1 : Determine the Overhead Absorption Rate for Each Activity Center
(We have three Activity Centers: Machine setup, Materials handling: Quality control inspections )
Overhead Absorption Rate = Total Overhead (for each) / Total Number of Activity
Step 2: Absorb the Costs in the products using the Rate for each cost center and the number of activity incurred in each cost center for the two Products
Overhead (Activity Center) = Overhead Absorption Rate× Activity Specific to the Product.
Step 3 : Determine the Total Costs
Total Cost for one Product would include the Total Costs for each Activity Center (which are your overheads) plus the Direct Labor and Direct Material Costs as Calculated in Part b.
Explanation:
Part a
Total Production Cost = Direct Costs + Indirect costs (overheads)
First determine the predetermined rate based on direct labor hours.
Total direct labor hours.
Product A (11,500×0.16) = 1,840
Product B (1.700×0.24) = 408
Total = 2,248
Predetermined rate = total overhead cost / total direct labor hours
= $220,304 / 2,248
= $98 per labor hour
Assigning Overhead Cost
Total Overhead Costs
Product A (1,840×$98) = 180,320
Product B (408×$98) = 39,984
Total = 220,304

The following items are reported on a company's balance sheet: Cash $510,000 Marketable securities 398,500 Accounts receivable (net) 338,900 Inventory 346,500 Accounts payable 693,000 Determine (a) the current ratio and (b) the quick ratio. Round to one decimal place. a. Current ratio b. Quick ratio
Answer:
Current ratio= 2.3
Quick ratio= 1.8
Explanation:
Cash=$510,000
Marketable securities= $398,000
Account receivables= $338,900
Inventory= $346,000
Account payable = $693,000
Curent ratio= current assets/current liability
Current assets= cash+ marketable securities+ Account receivables+inventory
Current liability= Account payable
($510,000+$398,000+$338,900+$346,000)/$693,000
= $1,592,900/$693,000
= 2.29
Current ratio = 2.3 ( to 1 decimal place)
ii) Quick ratio= ( cash+ marketable securities+ Account receivable)/Current liability
=$510,000+$398,000+$338,900/$693,000
= $1,246,900/$693,000
= 1.79.
Quick ratio = 1.8 ( to 1 decimal place)
Answer: Current ratio 2.3
Quick ratio 1.8
Explanation:
Given Data:
Cash = $510,000
Marketable securities = $398,500
Account receivable ( net) = $338,900
Inventory = $346,500
Accounts payable = $693,000
( a.) The current ratio : this helps to determine the relationship between current assets and current liabilities
= current assets / current liabilities
Currents assets = ( cash + marketable securities + inventory + account receivable )
= $( 510,000 + 398,500 + 338,900 + 346,500)
= $1,593,900
Current liabilities = $693,000
Current ratio = $1,593,900 / $693,000
= 2.3
(b) Quick ratio is the ratio of quick asset against current liabilities.
Quick assets ( cash + marketable securities + accounts receivable)
= $( 510,000 + 398,500 + 338,900)
= $1,247,400
Quick ratio = $1,247,400 / $693,000
= 1.8
Find the present value of $10,000 received at the start of every year for 20 years if the interest rate is J1 = 12% p.a. and if the first payment of $10,000 is received at the end of 10 years
Answer:
$ 26,935.56
Explanation:
The key to this question is that present value of those cash flows in year ten is the future value today.
PV=PMT*(1/i-1/i*(1+i)^n)*(1+i)
PMT is the annual amount receivable which is $10,000
i is 12% or 0.12
n is 20 years
1/i*(1+i)^=1/0.12*(1+0.12)^20=1/(0.12*9.646293093 )=0.863889709
1/i=1/0.12=8.333333333
1+i=1+0.12=1.12
PV=10,000*(8.333333333 -0.863889709 )*1.12
PV=10,000*7.469443624*1.12=$83,657.77
The PV In ten years' time is future value today, hence we need to discount that future value to today's terms
PV=FV*(1+r)^-n
n is ten
r is 12%
PV=$83,657.77*(1+12%)^-10=$ 26,935.56
In the context of the competitive environment of business, unlike leading-edge firms, bleeding-edge firms offer products just as the market becomes ready to embrace them. a. True b. False
Answer:
False
Explanation:
Bleeding edge firms provide products that are untested and carry a high risk. Products are unreliable and lead adopters stand the risk of making big losses in event that the product is not well received in the market
Leading edge firms on the other hand deal in products that are well tested and accepted by the market.
So the statement that - unlike leading-edge firms, bleeding-edge firms offer products just as the market becomes ready to embrace them. Is not true
Products offered by bleeding edge firms are not embraced by the market as they are untested and risky
g Real and nominal variables are highly intertwined, and changes in the money supply change real GDP. Most economists would agree that this statement accurately describes a. both the short run and the long run. b. the short run, but not the long run. c. the long run, but not the short run. d. neither the long run nor the short run.
Answer:
The correct answer is C.
Explanation:
GDP usually, is fixed in the short run. Thus, in the short-term, money supply will increase aggregate demand and prices will follow.
In the long term, however, real GDP (which is economic output that has been adjusted for price fluctuations), an increase in the money supply will create an increase in the GDP due to aggregate demand.
The US economy, for example, displays a strong positive correlation between the amount of money supplied and it's GDP growth between 1994 and 2009.
