Answer:

a) he equilibrum quantity is 95 million pounds of butter and the equilbrum price is $1.20 per pound. At this level, both demand and supply is 95 million.

b) 0 or no surplus.

Explanation:

The question is in three parts

a) a. In the butter market, the monthly equilibrium quantity is million pounds and the equilibrium price is $ per pound

The equilibrum price and quantity refers to that point in sales where the quantity demanded = the quantity supplied.

Looking at the schedule, the equilibrum quantity is 95 million pounds of butter and the equilbrum price is $1.20 per pound. At this level, both demand and supply is 95 million.

b) What is the monthly surplus created in the wholesale butter market due to the price support (price floor) program?

First, what is the price floor fixed by the government = $1.00 per pound and at this rate, the demanded quantity is 101 million and the quantity supplied is 79 million pounds.

At this price, there is no surplus

Katen [24]

Answer:

1) C) The value of the services of the real estate agent

2) B) $6,400

Explanation:

First, there are two questions lumped together as one

Question 1: Suppose in 2016, you purchase a house built in 2003. Which of the following would be included in the gross domestic product for 2016?

A) The value of the house in 2013

B)The value of the house in 2016 minus depreciation

C) The value of the services of the real estate agent

4) The value of the house in 2016

Question 2: Suppose that a simple economy produces only four goods and services shoes. DVDs, tomatoes, and ketchup. Assume one half of the tomatoes are used in making the ketchup and the other half of the tomatoes are purchased by households.

Products Quantity Price

Shoes 40 $60

DVDs 100 $18

Tomatoes 2,000 $1

Ketchup 300 $4

Using the information in the above table, nominal GDP for this simple economy equals A) $7, 400. B) $6, 400. C) $5, 800 units. D) $2, 440.

<u>Answer to the First Question</u>

First the Gross Domestic Product of a Country usually represents the market value or referred to as total monetary value of finished products as well as services that were engaged in during a specific period of time and within the borders of that country. The thing about GDP is that it only reflects items that are captured as products or services and which are reported for the year.

In the question therefore, the GDP will only reflect the value of product or service that was newly created in 2016. The house was built in 2003, therefore the relevant GDP item (value of the house) was captured in 2003.

The only new value is the Value of the services of the real estate agent who was engaged in 2016 to facilitate the sales of the house.

<u>Answer to the Second Question:</u>

Nominal GDP represents GDP valued at current market prices for products or services.

To calculate the Nominal GDP we look at the goods and then calculate based on their current market prices.

(Shoes = 40 pieces x $60) + (DVDS = 100 pieces x $18) + (Tomatoes (1000x$1 - 1/2 purchased by households) + (Ketchup 300 x $4)

= $2400+ $1,800+ $1000+ $1,200

= $6,400

Companies A and B each have the same level of total assets, the same tax rate, and the same earnings before interest and taxes (

anygoal [31]

Answer:

a.Company A has a lower return on assets (ROA).

c.Company A has a lower times interest earned (TIE) ratio.

That is options a and c

Explanation:

For company A to have high debt ratio means it has a higher debt which will reduce earnings. Company A's earnings will be less than Company B's.

ROA= Net income/Total assets

Since Company A's income is less than Company B's ROA for Company A will be less than that for Company B.

TIE = Earnings before Interest and Tax/Interest

Due to higher debt of company A it's interest will be higher resulting in low TIE.
