The U.S. government could reduce its budget deficit by expanding the income assistance programs. raising the eligible retirement age to receive Social Security benefits. increasing discretionary spending. borrowing funds from abroad.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

raising the eligible retirement age to receive Social

Explanation:

We can agree that there is a budget deficit in an economy if the government expenditures in the economy are greater than its revenue. The remedy in the face of such an economic problem is either to raise taxes or to decrease the expenditures of the government.

In this question, the way that the US government can reduce the budget deficit is by raising the eligible retirement age of those who are to receive the social security benefits. When this age is increased, it means that less people would be receiving this benefit. Less people would meet the required age for the benefit. By so doing, the government is cutting its expenditures.

the rest of the options in the question would increase the deficit.

Tuscany Company estimated the following costs at the beginning of a particular year: Overhead $5,340,000 Direct labor cost $890,000 Tuscany uses normal costing and applies overhead on the basis of direct labor cost. (Direct labor cost equals total direct labor hours worked multiplied by the wage rate.) The direct labor cost was $50,000 for the month of January. Determine the overhead applied for the month of January.

Answers

Answer: $300,000

Explanation:

As overhead is applied on the basis of direct labor cost, the overhead rate for the period is:

= Overhead / Direct labor cost * 100%

= 5,340,000 / 890,000 * 100%

= 600%

If direct labor cost is $50,000 then overhead applied will be:

= Direct labor cost * Overhead rate

= 50,000 * 600%

= $300,000

Two towns, each with three members, are deciding whether to put on a fireworks display to celebrate the New Year. Fireworks cost $360. In each town, some people enjoy fireworks more than others. In the town of Bayport, each of the residents values the public good as follows:

Resident Value (Dollars)
Musashi 50
Rina 100
Sean 300

he total benefit of the fireworks display to the town of Bayport is $: ___________

Answers

Answer:

$450

Explanation:

The benefit an individual derives from an activity can be described as the total satisfaction or utility that individual derives from carrying out a particular activity. It is the value an individual derives from a particular activity

Benefit can be measured in dollars or in utils

the higher the value of the dollar or util, the higher the benefit the consumer derives from an activity

A rational person would weigh the cost of an activity to the benefit that would be derived from the activity. The individual would carry out the activity only if benefit outweigh the cost.

For example, in this question, the total benefit of fireworks display is 450. this is greater than the cost. So, the town would carry out the firework display

Total benefit is the sum of individual value individuals would derive from an activity.

total benefit = $50 + $100 + $300 = $450

A government is torn between selling annual pollution allowances and setting an annual pollution tax. Unlike in the messy real world, this government is quite certain that it can achieve the same price and quantity either way. It wants to choose the method that will pull in more government tax revenue. Is selling allowances better for revenues or is setting a pollution tax better, or will both raise exactly the same amount of revenue

Answers

Answer: Both will raise the same amount

Explanation:

The government here is certain that it can achieve the same quantity and price regardless of if it uses a pollution tax or pollution allowance. This means that it would be charging the companies the same regardless of the method used.

Both methods would therefore yield the same amount if the government uses either of them.

T/F If firms from country A undertake $20 billion of FDI in firms from country B in year 1, and another $20 billion in year 2, then we can say that in each of those two years, B receives annual FDI outflows of $20 billion, and A generates annual FDI inflows of $20 billion.

Answers

Answer: False

Explanation:

In both the first and second years, firms in country A undertook FDI projects of $20 billion in country B. This means that Country A had FDI outflows of $20 billion in those two years not inflows. Inflows are what happens when the FDI is coming into the country.

Country B on the other hand, was receiving money from country A. Country B therefore had FDI inflows of $20 billion in each of the two years and not outflows like Country A had.

Peabody Company owns 90% of the outstanding capital stock of Sloane Company. During 2014 and 2015 Sloane Company sold merchandise to Peabody Company at a markup of 25% of selling price. The selling price of the merchandise sold during the two years was $42,400 and $24,000, respectively. At the end of each year, Peabody Company had in its inventory one-fourth of the goods purchased that year from Sloane Company. Sloane Company reported net income of $29,300 in 2014 and $35,300 in 2015. Required:Determine the amount of the noncontrolling interest in consolidated income to be reported for 2014 and 2015.

Answers

Answer:

Amount of noncontrolling interest in consolidated income to be reported in 2014 = $2,718

Amount of noncontrolling interest in consolidated income to be reported in 2015 = $3,410

Explanation:

Percentage of the unsold inventory = One-fourth = 1 / 4 = 0.25, or 25%

Percentage of noncontrolling interest = 100% - 90% = 10%

Unrealized profit on inventory = Selling price of the merchandise * Percentage of the unsold inventory * (Markup / (100% + Markup)) ……………. (1)

Amount of noncontrolling interest in consolidated income to be reported = (Reported net income by Sloane - Unrealized profit on inventory) * Percentage of noncontrolling interest ……………. (2)

Using equation (1), we have:

Unrealized profit on inventory in 2014 = $42,400 * 25% * (25% / (100% + 25%)) = $2,120

Unrealized profit on inventory in 2015 = $24,000 * 25% * (25% / (100% + 25%)) = $1,200

Using equation (2), we have:

Amount of noncontrolling interest in consolidated income to be reported in 2014 = ($29,300 - $2,120) * 10% = $2,718

Amount of noncontrolling interest in consolidated income to be reported in 2015 = ($35,300 - $1,200) * 10% = $3,410
