Which statement best describes the difference between a market and traditional economy

Using the following national income accounting data, compute (a) GDP, (b) NDP, and (c) NI. All figures are in billions.Category

Ymorist [56]

Answer:

a. $343.7 billion

b. $331.9 billion

c. $334.1 billion

Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

a. For GDP

GDP = Personal consumption expenditures + Government purchases + Net private domestic investment + Consumption of fixed capital + net exports

where,

Net exports = U.S. exports of goods and services - U.S. imports of goods and services

= $17.8 - $16.5

= $1.3 billion

So, the GDP would be

= $219.1 + $59.4 + $52.1 + $11.8 + $1.3

= $343.7 billion

b. For NDP

NDP = GDP - Consumption of fixed capital or depreciation

= $343.7 - $11.8

= $331.9 billion

c. For NI

NI = GDP + Net foreign income

= $331.9 billion + 2.2 billion

= $334.1 billion

All values are in billions

In each of the following situations, state whether the bonds will sell at a premium or discount. Required a. Valley issued $300,

IrinaK [193]

Answer:

a. Premium

b. Discount

c. Discount

Explanation:

a. Valley issued $300,000 of bonds with a stated interest rate of 7 percent. At the time of issue, the market rate of interest for similar investments was 6 percent.

Premium (discount) = Bond's stated interest rate - Market rate of interest for similar investments = 7% - 6% = 1% premium

Therefore, Valley's bond will sell at a premium.

b. Spring issued $220,000 of bonds with a stated interest rate of 5 percent. At the time of issue, the market rate of interest for similar investments was 6 percent.

Premium (discount) = Bond's stated interest rate - Market rate of interest for similar investments = 5% - 6% = -1% discount

Therefore, Spring's bond will sell at a discount.

c. River Inc. issued $150,000 of callable bonds with a stated interest rate of 5 percent. The bonds were callable at 102. At the date of issue, the market rate of interest was 6 percent for similar investments.

Premium (discount) = Bond's stated interest rate - Market rate of interest for similar investments = 5% - 6% = -1% discount

Therefore, River Inc.'s bond will sell at a discount.

Machines A and B are mutually exclusive and have the following investment and operating costs. Machine A has a life of 3 years w

olganol [36]

Answer:

$-1081.01

$-2536.89

Explanation:

Equivalent annual cost method is a capital budgeting method used to choose between two projects with an unequal life span

The decision rule is to choose the product with the higher Equivalent annual cost

Equivalent annual annuity method is better for making this decision because if net present value is used, the project with the higher useful life would be chosen. this does not mean it is more profitable

EAA = $\frac{r(NPV)}{1 - \frac{1}{(1+ r)^{n} } }$

Net present value is the present value of after-tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.

NPV can be calculated using a financial calculator

Machine A

Cash flow in year 0 = - $5,000

Cash flow in year 1 = $800

Cash flow in year 2 = $900

Cash flow in year 3 = $1,000

I = 9%

NPV A = -2736.35

Machine B

Cash flow in year 0 = -$6,000

Cash flow in year 1 = $850

Cash flow in year 2 = $900

I = 9%

NPV B = -4462.67

EAA =

(0.09 x -2736.35) / ( 1 - (1.09)^3) = $-1081.01

(0.09 x -4462.67) / ( 1 - (1.09)^2)= $-2536.89
