Answer:
The answer is 3.3%
Explanation:
Percentage growth rate is
New figure - Old figure /old figure x 100%
Real GDP in 2011 is $15.5 trillion
Real GDP in 2010 is $15 trillion
So we have $15.5 - $15/$15 x 100%
$0.5/$15 x 100%
0.033 x 100%
3.3% is the growth rate between 2011 and 2010.
Alternatively, new figure - old figure - 1
$15.5/15 - 1
1.033 - 1
0.033
Expressed as a percentage
0.033 x 100%
3.3%

Answer:
the acid-test ratio is 1.5 times
Explanation:
The computation of the acid-test ratio is as follows:
Acid test Ratio = Quick assets ÷ current liabilities
where,
Quick Assets is
= Cash + short tern investments + Account receivable
= $3,500 + $50,000 + $56,000
= $109,500
And, the current liabilities is $73,000
So, the acid-test ratio is
= $109,500 ÷ $73,000
= 1.5 times
Hence, the acid-test ratio is 1.5 times
Tax multiplier = -1.5
Tax increase = $200 billion
Therefore, since the multiplier is a negative value, the GDP must have gone down.
GDP = Tax increase/Tax multiplier = 200/-1.5 = $133.33 billion decrease.
Then, the correct answer is c.
