Answer:

Explanation:

we know that investment component of GDP measures spending on the residential construction and business equipment and business structures and change in inventory

During recessions it decline by relatively large amount

because slow down there is no sale of good

and goods are not selling to expectations of firm

therefor firms revise their investment accordingly and Further firms do face losses in the recession

Analysts are forecasting LifeTech Corporation's common stock price to be $120 at the end of one year. Also, LifeTech will pay a

devlian [24]

Answer:

Price to pay now for the stock = $96.278

Explanation:

The price of the stock would be the present value(PV) of the future cash flow expected from it discounted at the required rate of 13%

Hence we would add the present value of he dividend and the resent of he price at the end of the period

PV = CF × (1+r)^(-n)

CF- Cash Flow

R- rate of return- 13%

n- number of years

PV of dividend = 2.60 × (1.13)^(-1) = 2.30

PV of stock price after a year = 120× (1.13)^(-1) = 93.97

Price to pay now for the stock = 2.30 + 93.97 = $96.278

Price to pay now for the stock = $96.278

Sunland Company is unsure of whether to sell its product assembled or unassembled. The unit cost of the unassembled product is $

nikitadnepr [17]

Answer: Sell before assembly, the company will be better off by $1 per unit.

Explanation:

To solve the above question, we need to calculate the incremental profit or loss first. This will be:

= After assembling sales value - Unassembled unit sales value - Coat if further processing

= $87 - $62 - $26

= -$1

Since there is an incremental loss of $1, then the correct answer is "Sell before assembly, the company will be better off by $1 per unit".

Interest rates can be measured more accurately and quickly than reserve aggregates; hence an interest rate is preferred to the r

7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

This is false.

In reporting reserves aggregate there are lags interest rate such as the federal interest rate are quite easy to measure and easily observable. Such short term interest rate are nominal values and they do not measure the real cost of borrowing well. It does not show accurately what happens to Gross domestic product. Real interest rate equals nominal interest rate as a ratio of reduced inflation gives a representation of true cost of borrowing.

We cannot say with certainty that interests rate is a better policy instrument based on the ground of measurability.

Suppose that marginal propensity to consume is equal to 0.9 and the government increases its spending by $200 billion. This new

Step2247 [10]

Answer:

The answer is B.

Explanation:

Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is the total market value of all the final goods and services produced within a sovereign nation(country) during a given period of time usually a year.

Gross Domestic Product (GDP) can be calculated using expenditure method or income method or value-added method.

To analyze this question, expenditure method will be used. The formula is C + I + G + (X-M)

where C is the consumer spending

I is the business investments

G is the government spending

X is the exports

M is the imports.

Government has injected $200 billion into the economy through its spending.

This $200 billion is gotten from an increase in taxes, meaning consumers' disposable income has reduced by this amount.

Therefore, $200 billion will still be the incremental amount to the GDP

B. If 18,000 units are produced, what is the variable cost per unit?C. If 21,000 units are produced, what are the total variable

alexdok [17]

Answer:

Instructions are listed below.

Explanation:

Looking on the internet I found the necessary information to solve this problem:

Giving the following information:

Units= 16,000

Fixed Overhead= $5*16,000= 80,000

Direct material= 12

Direct labor= 9

Indirect material= 1 (part of overhead)

variable overhead= 2

B. Units= 18,000

Variable cost per unit= direct material + direct labor + variable overhead= 12 + 9 + (2+1)= 24

C. Units= 21,000

Total variable cost= unitary cost* number of units

TVC= 24*21,000= $504,000

D. Units= 11,000

TVC= 24*11,000= $264,000

E. Units= 19,000

Overhead= variable overhead + fixed overhead

Overhead= 3*19,000 + 80,000= $137,000

F. Units= 23,000

Total overhead= 3*23,000 + 80,000= $149,000

G. Units= 19,000

Unitary overhead= total overhead/ number of units

Unitary overhead= 3 + (80,000/19,000)= $7.21

H. Units= 25,000

Unitary overhead= 3 + (80,000/25,000)= $6.2
