<span>GDP, or Gross Domestic Product, is typically defined as services, products, goods produced and bought by an national economy in a specific time frame, and is measured comparatively to a time period before. Bitcoin is an example of an underground currency that is not part of the GDP, due to no production of goods or services for the nation and not regulated by government.</span>

If a Starbucks tall latte cost $3.20 in the United States and 3 euros in the Euro area, then purchasing-power parity implies the

Nataliya [291]

Answer:

a. .938 If the exchange rate is less than this, it costs more dollars to buy a tall latte in the U.S. than in the Euro area.

Explanation:

We can see in the example that the Euro is cheaper than the dollar in purchasing-power parity. More specifically, the exchange rate is .938 euros per dollar.

This is why it is more expensive to buy a tall latte in the U.S. than in Europe. The Euro is cheaper.

A sporting goods manufacturer budgets production of 45,000 pairs of ski boots in the first quarter and 30,000 pairs in the secon

Alexandra [31]

Answer:

The budgeted materials need in kg. in the first quarter is 90,000 kg

Explanation:

For computing the budgeted material needed in the first quarter, first we have to calculate the consumption of first and second quarters separately, so that we can arrive to a solution.

The consumption of first quarter = Budgeted production × required kg

= 45,000 × 2

= 90,000 kg

The consumption of second quarter = Budgeted production × required kg

= 30,000 × 2

= 60,000 kg

The ending raw material inventory = 30% of second quarter

= 30% × 60,000

= 18,000 kg

Now put the formula to find out the purchase amount. The formula is shown below:

Raw material consumption = Opening raw material inventory + purchase of raw material - ending raw material inventory

where,

beginning inventory = 18,000 kg

90,000 = 18,000 + purchase - 18,000

So, the purchase is 90,000 kg

The question has asked the amount in kg so cost per kg is irrelevant.

Hence, the budgeted materials need in kg. in the first quarter is 90,000 kg

The cob Douglas production function is given by Q(K,L)=AK^1.4*L^1.6

Alexeev081 [22]

Part a) The Cob Douglas production function is given as:

$Q(K,L)=AK^{1.4} L^ {1.6 } .$

To show that this function is homogeneous with degree 3, we introduce be a parameter, t.

$Q(tK,tL)=A(tK)^{1.4} (tL)^ {1.6 } .$

Using properties of exponents, we on tinder:

$Q(tK,tL)=At^{1.4}K^{1.4} t^ {1.6 }L^ {1.6 } .$

This implies that:

$Q(tK,tL)=t^{1.4} \times t^ {1.6 }(AK^{1.4} L^ {1.6 } )$

$Q(tK,tL)=t^{1.4 + 1.6}(AK^{1.4} L^ {1.6 } )$

Simplify the exponent of t to get;

$Q(tK,tL)=t^{3}(AK^{1.4} L^ {1.6 } )$

Hence the function is homogeneous with degree, 3

Part b) To verify Euler's Theorem, we must show that:

$K\frac{\partial Q}{\partial \: K}+L\frac{\partial Q}{\partial \: L}=3AK^{1.4}L^{1.6}$

Verifying from the left:

$K\frac{\partial Q}{\partial \: K}+L\frac{\partial Q}{\partial \: L} =K(1.4AK^{0.4} L^{1.6}) + L(1.6AK^{1.4} L^{0.6})$

$K\frac{\partial Q}{\partial \: K}+L\frac{\partial Q}{\partial \: L} =1.4(AK^{1.4} L^{1.6}) + 1.6(AK^{1.4} L^{1.6})$

$K\frac{\partial Q}{\partial \: K}+L\frac{\partial Q}{\partial \: L} =(1.4 + 1.6)(AK^{1.4} L^{1.6})$

$K\frac{\partial Q}{\partial \: K}+L\frac{\partial Q}{\partial \: L} =3(AK^{1.4} L^{1.6})$
