Based on the economic data given, and the fact that the government is running a deficit, the equilibrium GDP will be 336.67.

If government spending is cut to balance the budget, the new level of GDP will be 321.67.

The effect of balancing the budget will be a decrease in GDP and a slower recovery from the recesssion.

<h3>What is the equilibrium GDP?</h3>

This is given by the variable "Y" so we can find the equilibrium GDP by solving for it:
C = 50 + .7(Y – T)

Y = C + I + G - XN

C = Y - I - G + XN

Solving gives:

Y - I - G + XN = 50 + .7(Y – T)

Y - 40 - 35 + 10 = 50 + 0.7Y - 14

Y - 0.7Y = 50 + 40 + 35 - 10 - 14

0.3Y = 101

Y = 101/0.3

= 336.67

<h3>What is the new GDP if government spending is cut?</h3>

Government spending will have to be cut to a size that would make it equal to taxes so government spending becomes 20.

New GDP becomes:

= C + I + G - XN

= ( 50 + .7(Y – T)) + 40 + 20 - 10

= 271.67 + 40 + 20 - 10

= 321.67

While the evidence suggests that over long periods of time that stocks will outperform bonds, individuals with a long-term inves

Scrat [10]

Answer:

Stocks and Bonds

Yes. It is a rational behavior for individuals with a long-term investment horizon to choose to invest in bonds rather than investing in stocks despite the overwhelming "evidence that suggests that over long periods of time stocks still outperform bonds."

Rational behavior involves making rational choices that provide optimal levels of benefit or utility for the individual. People who make rational choices would rather choose bonds with lower risks and returns than stocks with higher risks and returns.

Explanation:

Every rational investor would prefer to reduce her risk exposure instead of increasing it. Every investor is also aware that investments with higher risks attract higher returns. However, determining the certainty of the returns is difficult.

Suppose that production for good X is characterized by the following production function, Q = K0.5L0.5, where K is the fixed inp

Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

B). $12

Explanation:

As per the given data, the AFC(Average Fixed Cost) for employing 25 factors of labor and 16 factors of capital would be $12.

We are given the production function,

Q = $K^{0.5} L^{0.5}$

where,

K = allotted input in short-term

Rental rate of each unit/factor(r) = $15

Wage per factor(w) = $5

As we know, the two inputs are labor, as well as, capital;

To find AFC, we need TC;

so,

TC = (Fixed cost + Variable cost)

TC = (240(15 * 16) + 125(25 * 5) = 365

Thus,

AFC = $ 12

At the beginning of the year, Smith Company budgeted overhead of $129,600 as well as 13,500 direct labor hours. During the year,

polet [3.4K]

Answer:

1. 9.60 per hour

2. $11,129

3. Dr Manufacturing overhead 172500

Cr Lease payable 6800

Cr Accumulated depreciation-Building 19340

Cr Wages payable 90400

Cr Utilities payable 14560

Cr Account payable 41400

4. Over applied overhead= $1,260

5. $634,340

Explanation:

1) Calculation for the overhead rate for the year

Using this formula

Overhead rate = Estimated overhead/Estimated hour

Let plug in the formula

Overhead rate = 129600/13500

Overhead rate = 9.60 per hour

2) Calculation for the total cost of Job K456

Total cost of Job K456

Direct material 2750

Direct labor 5355

Overhead 3024

(5355/17*9.60)

Total cost of Job $11129

3) Preparation of the journal entries to record actual overhead and to apply overhead to production for the year.

Dr Manufacturing overhead 172500

(6800+19340+90400+14560+41400)

Cr Lease payable 6800

Cr Accumulated depreciation-Building 19340

Cr Wages payable 90400

Cr Utilities payable 14560

Cr Account payable 41400

(Being To record actual overhead)

Work in process (18100*9.6) 173760

Manufacturing overhead 173760

(To record applied overhead)

4) Calculation for whether overhead is overapplied or underapplied

Over applied overhead = 173760-172500

Over applied overhead= $1260

5) Calculation for the adjusted cost of goods sold

Adjusted cost of goods sold = 635600-1260

Adjusted cost of goods sold= $634340

The difference between zero profit and zero economic profit is that:

Marianna [84]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "A": economists include opportunity cost in zero economic profit, while accountants do not include opportunity cost in zero profit.

Explanation:

Normal profit is an economic term that means zero economic profits. To an economist, this is normal since total revenue equals total cost which includes both explicit and implicit costs. It differs from the accounting profit or zero profits since the latter does not take into consideration implicit cost.
