Answer: High income countries with larger governments as a share of GDP have generally grown at a slower rate than the countries with smaller governments.
Explanation: Developing countries or countries with less money typically grow at a faster rate than higher income countries because returns related to capital are not as strong. In richer countries, they have higher capital and tend to grow at a slower rate.
Answer:
$1,240,000
Explanation:
Given that,
Net income = $1,000,000
Pretax foreign currency translation adjustment = $400,000
Unrealized pretax loss on debt securities = $80,000
Effective tax rate = 25%
Total other comprehensive income:
= Foreign currency translation adjustment - Loss on debt securities
= [$400,000 × (1 - 25%)] - [$80,000 × (1 - 25%)]
= ($400,000 × 0.75) - ($80,000 × 0.75)
= $300,000 - $60,000
= $240,000
Comprehensive income:
= Net income + Total other comprehensive income
= $1,000,000 + $240,000
= $1,240,000
Answer: C- Alzania's neighbor exported half its production of cotton that year
Explanation: Alzania produces and consumes 500,000 tons of cotton during a year. While, the neighbor which also employs the same number of people in the cotton industry, consumed 400,000 tons of cotton. There is no information on production of the neighbor. Just by looking at the consumption units we can argue that Alzania has an absolute advantage over the neighbor as it consumes more. However, if there is any information on the amount of exports of cotton from the neighbor then it will weaken the absolute advantage conclusion.
Thus, if <em>Alzania's neighbor exported half its production of cotton that year </em>the total production of cotton is greater of the neighbor than Alzania.
Answer:a.
It would increase by $500,000 multiplied by the reciprocal of the required reserve ratio.
Explanation:
A bank will often hold government securities as an asset. If a bank were to sell S500,000 in government securities to an individual who paid for the bond in cash and the bank placed this cash in its vault, by how much would the money supply change as a result - It would increase by $500,000 multiplied by the reciprocal of the required reserve ratio.
The money supply is the entire stock of currency and other liquid instruments circulating in a country's economy and is given by the formula:
MONEY SUPPLY = RESERVES X MONEY MULTIPLIER
Therefore the bank reserves increasing in the scenario will increase money supplier by the effect of the money multiplier or the reciprocal of the required reserve ratio.
I believe it's B but I am not positive. I'm taking the test right now.
