Answer:
C
Explanation:
Gross domestic product is the total sum of final goods and services produced in an economy within a given period which is usually a year
GDP calculated using the expenditure approach = Consumption spending by households + Investment spending by businesses + Government spending + Net export
Consumption spending includes spending by households on goods and services. Consumption spending includes :
spending on durables - e.g. buying a laptop
spending on nondurables - e.g. buying clothes, food
spending on services - e.g. payment of hospital bill
the purchase of a textbook by a student is an example of consumption spending on durable goods
Investment - It includes purchases of goods and services made by businesses in the production of goods and services
Government spending - It includes government consumption expenditure and gross investment. The purchase of a new limousine for the president is an example of consumption expenditure
Net export = export - import
the purchase of hotdog constitutes consumption of non durable goods and this would increase US GDP by $25
From 1990 to 2000, calculate the percentage change in Instructions: Enter your responses rounded to one decimal place. If you are entering any negative numbers be sure to include a negative sign (-) in front of those numbers. a. Real GDP. % b. Real consumption. % c. Real government spending
Answer:
Note The full question is attached as picture below
1. Real consumption % change = ((Consumption in 2009 / Consumption in 2007) - 1) * 100
Real consumption % change = ((9847 / 10042) - 1) * 100
Real consumption change % = (0.981 - 1) * 100
Real consumption change% = -1.9%
2. Real investment % = ((Investment in 2009 / 2007) - 1) * 100
Real investment % = ((1898 / 2644) - 1) * 100
Real investment % = (0.718 - 1) * 100
Real investment % = -28.2%
3. Government spending % = ((Government spending 2009 / 2007) - 1)*100
Government spending % = ((3089 / 2914) - 1)*100
Government spending % = (1.06 - 1) * 100
Government spending % = 6%
On January 1, a machine with a useful life of 5 years and a salvage value of $15000 was purchased for $115000. What is the depreciation expense for year 2 under straight-line depreciation
Answer:
Annual depreciation (year 2)= $20,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Purchase price= $115,000
Salvage value= $15,000
Useful life= 5 years
To calculate the annual depreciation under the straight-line method, we need to use the following formula:
Annual depreciation= (original cost - salvage value)/estimated life (years)
Annual depreciation= (115,000 - 15,000) / 5
Annual depreciation= $20,000

Rick has met with the Small Business Administration, which analyzed his entrepreneurial skills and provided him with a summary of the results. Out of these findings of the SBA, what might challenge Rick in his quest to become a successful entrepreneur? a) Rick is conscientious and emotionally stable. b) Rick has some tolerance for ambiguity because he knows he is trying to do things that haven't been done before. c) Rick has an external locus of control. d) Rick is comfortable with a moderate level of risk, and he has the confidence to act decisively. e) Rick has a high nec Rick has a high need for autonomy and wants to shape his own destiny
Answer:
c) Rick has an external locus of control.
Explanation:
What can challenge Rick in his quest to become a successful entrepreneur is that he has an external locus of control, which occurs when an individual relates events related to their failures or successes to external variables that are not their responsibility, such as fate, luck or bad luck.
The external locus of control can pose a challenge for Rick in the sense that an entrepreneur's success is related to his own personal control and personal efforts to make the business viable and successful in the market. It is necessary for the entrepreneur to understand that there are risks inherent to the business and that a business can work according to their efforts, learning and planning, that is, the entrepreneur and their control and management actions will be responsible for the success or failure of the business, and not just external factors like fate or bad luck.
A company's gross profit (or gross margin) was $110,180 and its net sales were $439,300. Its gross margin ratio is: A. 74.9%. B. 8.4%. C. $110,180.00 D. 25.1%. E. $329,120.00
Answer:
D
Explanation:
Gross profit margin is an example of a profitability ratio.
profitability ratios measures the efficiency with which a company generates profit from its asset
Gross profit margin measures the return on sales
Gross profit margin = gross profit / net sales
$110,180 / $439,300 = 25.1%

Project 1 requires an original investment of $125,000. The project will yield cash flows of $50,000 per year for 10 years. Project 2 has a computed net present value of $135,000 over an eight-year life. Project 1 could be sold at the end of eight years for a price of $8,000. (a) Using the present value tables in Exhibits 2 and 5, determine the net present value of Project 1 over an eight-year life, with residual value, assuming
Answer: $126,613
Explanation:
Net Present value of Project A is:
= Present value of $50,000 annuity + Present value of residual value - Initial investment
Present value of $50,000 annuity:
= 50,000 * ( 1 - ( 1 + rate)^-number of periods) / rate
= 50,000 * ( 1 - ( 1 + 12%) ⁻⁸) / 12%
= $248,382
Present value of residual value:
= 8,000 / ( 1 + 12%)⁸
= $3,231
Net present value
= 248,382 + 3,231 - 125,000
= $126,613

Prepare an income statement for the year using variable costing.
Answer:
1. 6,000
2. 7,200
Explanation:
1. Calculation to determine how much of the ending inventory consists of fixed manufacturing overhead cost deferred in inventory to the next period.
Using this formula
Ending inventory=Fixed manufacturing overhead/Units produced*Ending units
Let plug in the formula
Ending inventory=62,000/310*30
Ending inventory=6,000
Therefore how much of the ending inventory consists of fixed manufacturing overhead cost deferred in inventory to the next period is 6,000
2. Preparation of an income statement for the year using variable costing.
IDA SIDHA KARYA Company Variable Costing Income Statement
Units produced cost (130+350+50=530)

How does the current organizational and operational structure, including the system of corporate governance, benefit the firm
Answer:
The organizational and operational structure of a company must be aligned with the core values and objectives of the business, as it impacts and determines the relationships and culture in the organizational environment.
Therefore, when there is an organizational structure where the hierarchical positions and the decision-making system match the way the company operates in the market, it is correct to say that such organization has a culture that enables its development and the correct progress of the business. Combined with corporate governance, which is a system of inspection, control and incentive to interested parties, the company will benefit from being well structured, positioned and oriented to achieve quality and continuous process improvement.
g dividends paid 13500. what was the net income for the past year of the firm faces a tax rate of 30%
Answer:
A.) £27,214.29
B.) £19,250
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the following :
Andy £13500
Bevan £27500
Cheryl £13250
Deva £75000
Elliott £18750
Frankie £27500
Grace £15000
Mean income = (total sum of salaries / number of workers)
Mean income = £(13500 + 27500 + 13250 + 75000 + 18750 + 27500 + 15000) / 7
Mean income = (£190,500 / 7) = £27,214.286
B.) mean income excluding Deva's salary:
Mean income = Mean income = £(13500 + 27500 + 13250 + 18750 + 27500 + 15000) / 7
Mean income = £115,500 / 6
Mean income = £19,250
You are selling an asset. you can earn an interest rate of 7% per yer on your savings. You receive the following two (risk less) offers:
Offer 1: receive $400,000 today
Offer 2: Receive $500,000 in 4 years
a. Which offer should you choose?
b. At what interest rate would you be indifferent between the two offers?
Answer:
Option 1
5.737126344%
Explanation:
to determine which option i would prefer today, i would need to determine the present value of offer 2
Present value is the sum of discounted cash flows
[tex]\frac{500,000}{1.07^{4} }[/tex] = $381,447.61
I would prefer the first option because its present value is greater than that of option 2
The interest rate that would make me indifferent between either options would be the interest at which the present value of $500,000 in 4 years is $400,000
$400,000 = [tex]\frac{500,000}{(1 + x)^{4} }[/tex]
$400,000[tex](1 + x)^{4}[/tex] = $500,000
500,000 / 400,000= (1 + x)^{4}
1.25 = (1 + x)^{4}
[tex]1.25^{0.25}[/tex] = 1 + x
x = 5.737126344%

MC Qu. 157 West Company estimates that overhead costs... West Company estimates that overhead costs for the next year will be $3,600,000 for indirect labor and $880,000 for factory utilities. The company uses machine hours as its overhead allocation base. Of 125,000 machine hours are planned for this next year, what is the company's plantwide overhead rate
Answer:
$35,84 per machine hour
Explanation:
Plantwide overhead rate = Budgeted overheads ÷ Budgeted Activity
where,
Budgeted overheads = $3,600,000 + $880,000 = $4,480,000
Budgeted Activity = 125,000 machine hours
therefore,
Plantwide overhead rate = $4,480,000 ÷ 125,000
= $35,84 per machine hour

Viviano Corporation issued a new bond, and hired your bank as its underwriter. In an upcoming talk with its CFO, you are expected to explain the effect of market interest rate. An increase in the market rate of interest will have which one of the following effects on this bond?
a. increase the coupon rate
b. decrease the coupon rate
c. increase the market price
d. decrease the market price
e. increase the time period
Answer: d. decrease the market price
Explanation:
Interest rates and the prices of bonds are negatively correlated as one increasing means that the other is decreasing.
The reason is this: when market interest rates rise, investors will move away from bonds to other investments because bonds offer a fixed payment and so will be less attractive than other investments which would be offering higher returns based on the higher market rates.
The drop in demand for bonds will lead to their prices falling as per the rules of demand and supply.

implications of game theory
Answer:
Game Theory is a general mathematical analysis to investigate the strategic interactions among players. Game theorists attempt to provide precise descriptions of situations of conflicting interests in order to study the behavior that such a conflict would (or, in some cases, should) elicit from rational agents. Players are assumed to consider the position and perceptions of other players while forming their strategies. In our examples, we will assume that there are two players, and that each has two choices and the fact that the players are selfish (operate in their own best interests) and rational .
Limitations of Game Theory :
The biggest issue with game theory is that, like most other economic models, it relies on the assumption that people are rational actors that are self-interested and utility-maximizing. Of course, we are social beings who do cooperate and do care about the welfare of others, often at our own expense. Game theory cannot account for the fact that in some situations we may fall into a Nash equilibrium, and other times not, depending on the social context and who the players are.
