Answer:

The answer is <u>"$110 billion".</u>

Explanation:

Firms increase their investment by $11 billion

mpc = 0.9

gdp = ?

To find the gdp, first we have to find expenditure multiplier;

we will find that by using the formula;

expenditure multiplier = 1/(1-0.9) = 1/0.1 = 10

Now gdp = 10 x $11 billion

= $110 billion

Thus the <u>gdp is $110 billion.</u>

Regina Henry deposited $20,000 in a money market certificates that provides interest of 10% compound and quarterly if the amount

Andrews [41]

Answer:

Regina: Final amount=$62,769

Will Smith: Present value: $213,216

Explanation:

Regina:

Compound quarterly means that each quarter of the year ( every three months) she will receive a 10% interest rate of her deposit. To convert this periodic rate to an annual rate( because the problem ask you about years) you use this formula :

Annual rate= ((1+Periodic rate)^(# periods))-1

In this case the number of periods means the number of quarters a year have, which is 4

Annual rate= ((1+10%)^(4))-1= 46.41%

To find the final amount Regina has after 3 year we use this formula:

Final Capital (FC)= Initial Capital (IC)*[(1+interest(i))]^(number of periods(n))

FC= $20,000*[(1+46.41%)^3]

FC=$62,769 I attached an excel figure which shows a more detailed data.

Will Smith

Semiannually means that every 6 months Will Smith will receive a 12% interest rate of the initial investment. To convert this periodic rate to an annual rate you use the same above formula:

Annual rate= ((1+Periodic rate)^(# periods))-1

In each year Will will receive twice the interest rate over the initial investment

Annual rate = ((1+12%)^(2))-1

Annual rate= 25.44%

The present value of $80,000 from now to 5 years is calculated using the formula attached, but I used Excel. First you have to copy all the cash flows of the 5 years. Then, you set the interest rate that in this case is the one that you found above( 25.44%). Finally you use the financial formula "NPV" in this way:

"=NPV(25.44%;C4:C8)" I used C4:C8 because in those excel cells i copied the cash flows.

I got that the present value of this amount is $213,216

Roofing Issues. Sally agrees to roof a house for Bob. After doing his research, Bob chooses Sally based on her great reputation

expeople1 [14]

Answer:

C. Spencer will win because regardless of whether Glen was acting within the scope of his employment, Sally is liable for his negligence

Explanation:

Spencer will win the lawsuit and Sally is liable for negligence.

This is because, Sally was the person originally hired to do the roofing job.

She hired other workers to help her with the job, so she's liable to their actions and inactions.

Sally is operating under a working agreement (contract) and has already charged a fee of $10,000 so any punitive damages would be her responsibility.

Spencer was moving around and Glen threw some roofing shingles without any word of warning to people that might be in harm's way. So for Glenn's actions, Sally is liable for his negligence.

On January 1, 2021, Weaver Corporation purchased a patent for $210,000. The remaining legal life is 20 years, but the company es

Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

Requirement 1. Journal for purchasing Patent:

Jan 01, 2021 Patent Rights (Debit) 210,000

Cash/Bank (Credit) 210,000

Requirement 2. Journal for amortization expense for the year ended 31 Dec, 2021:

Dec 31, 2021 Amortization expense - Patent 35,000

Accumulated amortization 35,000

Requirement 3. Journal for amortization expense for the year ended 31 Dec, 2022:

Dec 31, 2022 Amortization expense - Patent 35,000

Accumulated amortization 35,000

Requirement 4. Journal for incurring legal fees

Jan 31, 2023 Legal fees 30,000

Cash/Bank 30,000

Requirement 5. Journal for amortization expense for the year ended 31 Dec, 2023:

Dec 31, 2023 Amortization expense - Patent 35,000

Accumulated amortization 35,000

Explanation:

Requirement 1.

Since Weaver corporation purchases a patent, it costs the company cash or bank balance. As the patent is a non-current intangible asset, it is a debit. On the other hand, as cash decreases due to the purchase of patent, the cash is a credit. In this journal, an asset (Non-current asset) increases, and another asset (Current asset) decreases. There will be no effect on the total asset.

Requirement 2, 3 and 5. All the calculations will be the same as it is a straight-line method of amortization. Straight-line depreciation (amortization) is a method of expense on an asset over a long period. The expense is the same over the period as the expense is calculated as the total cost divided by the useful number of years. Again, as the patent is an intangible asset; therefore, the asset has to be amortized instead of depreciated.

The amortization expense of patent is = $210,000/6 = $35,000

Since, the company estimates the patent's useful life will be 6 years. Therefore, the amortization expense will be $35,000 for each year.

Requirement 4: Since legal fees is an expense, the company pays for this due to the occurrence of legal issues. The expense decreases the cash; therefore, it is a credit. On the contrary, the legal fees are a debit as it decreases net income. The legal fees, however, does not affect the amortization expense as it is not adding to the cost of the patent.

1) Decide whether you would expect relationship between the following pairs of dependent and independent variables (respectively

kvasek [131]

Answer:

(a) GDP is a dependent variable and aggregate net investment is a independent variable. There is a positive relationship between the variables which means that an increase in the net investment will lead to increase GDP.

(b) There is a negative relationship between the variables which means that as the supply of wheat increases, as a result price of wheat falls. So, as the number of acres of wheat planted in a season increases as a result price of wheat decline.

(c) There is a negative relationship between the variables which means that an increase in the interest rate in an economy will lead to increase the cost of borrowings and hence, net investment falls.

(d) There is a negative relationship between the variables because of the law of demand. It states that an increase in the price of a commodity will lead to reduce the quantity demanded for that commodity.

(e) There is no relationship between these variables. Both the variables are totally uncorrelated.
