At an output level of 40,000 units, you calculate that the degree of operating leverage is 2.70. If output rises to 46,800 units, what will the percentage change in operating cash flow be? (Do not round your intermediate calculations.) Multiple Choice 45.90% 39.23% 48.20%

Consider the basic setup of the Diamond-Dybvig (1983) model. Specifically, there are three periods, denoted t = 0, 1, 2, a single consumption good, and an illiquid investment opportunity that pays gross return 1 if liquidated at t = 1, or gross return 2.2 if liquidated at t = 2. There are 500 people in the economy, each endowed with 1 unit of the consumption good at t = 0. At t = 1, exactly 200 will randomly realize that they need to consume at t = 1 (the early consumers), the remaining 300 people will need to consume at t = 2 (the late consumers). The utility derived from consumption is 1 − (1/c1) 2 for early consumers, 1−(1/c2) 2 for late consumers, where the subscript denotes the time of consumption. Suppose a bank can offer an asset that is more liquid, with gross returns Rd 1 = 1.33 and Rd 2 = 1.71 (depending on the time of liquidation). (i) Calculate the bank’s profit after t = 2. In other words, what amount of funds remains at the bank once all depositors have withdrawn? Now…

Using the following data, estimate the new Return on Investment if there is a 10% increase in sales - with average operating assets as the base. Sales $2,000,000 Variable 1,100,000 costs Contribution 900,000 margin 45% Controllable 300,000 fixed costs Controllable $600,000 margin Average operating $5,000,000 assets
