Answer:

GDP is likely to remain same as a result of this conversion.

Explanation:

GDP is the total value of goods & services, produced by an economy, during a given year.

It can be calculated by 2 methods

  • By Expenditure method : GDP = Private Final Capital Expenditure + Govt. Final Consumption Expenditure + Gross Domestic Capital Formation + Net Exports
  • By Income method : NDP = Compensation of Employees + Operating Surplus (Rent + Profit + Income) + Mixed Income

Given case - Converting a rented apartment into a resident owned condominium , with value of housing services = rent formerly paid :

This brings no change in the GDP, as : The apartment 'rent' previously paid was included in 'operating surplus' of national income, by Income method. And, the equal condominium value is now included in investment addition i.e 'Gross domestic capital formation' , by Income method.

Which of the following is likely to increase a country's gross domestic product (GDP)?
antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer: In macroeconomics, gross domestic product (GDP) is a macroeconomic magnitude that expresses the monetary value of the production of goods and services of final demand of a country or region during a determined period, normally one year or quarterly.

GDP can be measured by adding up all the final demands for goods and services in a given period. In this case, the destination of the production is being quantified. There are four major areas of spending: household consumption (C), government consumption (G), investment in new capital (I) and the net results of foreign trade (exports-imports).

And it can also be measured by adding the income of all the factors that contribute to the production process, such as wages and salaries, commissions, rents, copyrights, fees, interests, profits, etc. The GDP is the result of the calculation by means of the payment to the factors of the production. All this, before deducting tax.

Thus the statements "b. An increase in Social Security expenses" as government expenses, "c. An increase in retirement and pension benefits to elderly citizens" as subsidies or transfers, and " d. An individual receiving an annual performance bonus of $5,000" as financial interest are likely to increase a country GDP.

Some people include a letter of last instruction in their estate planning. What is likely TRUE about this letter?
iVinArrow [24]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

A Letter of Last Instruction (LOLI) serves to give family important information such as where the person wants to be buried, instructions for any pets, or location of important legal documents.  

Side note: this is not a will, and should not be used as a substitution for one. A will is a legal document, a LOLI is not.

Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any further questions about my response.

2) A firm sells two products. Product R sells for $20; its variable cost is $6. Product S sells for $50; its variable cost is $3
Tom [10]

Answer:

$6896551.7

Explanation:

Given the following :

Product R:

Selling price = $20

Variable cost = $6

Product S:

Selling price = $50

Variable cost = $30

Firm's fixed cost = $4, 000,000

Break-even point dollars = (Fixed cost /Contribution margin ratio)

Contribution margin : selling price - variable cost

Product R: $(20 - 6) = $14

Contribution margin ratio = ($14/$20) * 60% = 0.42

Product S: $(50 - 30) = $20

Contribution margin ratio = ($20/$50) * 40% = 0.16

Sum of contribution margin ratio for both products = (0.42 + 0.16) = 0.58

Break-even point dollars = (Fixed cost /sum of Contribution margin ratio)

= $4,000,000/0.58

= $6896551.7
