Answer:
a. $343.7 billion
b. $331.9 billion
c. $334.1 billion
Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
a. For GDP
GDP = Personal consumption expenditures + Government purchases + Net private domestic investment + Consumption of fixed capital + net exports
where,
Net exports = U.S. exports of goods and services - U.S. imports of goods and services
= $17.8 - $16.5
= $1.3 billion
So, the GDP would be
= $219.1 + $59.4 + $52.1 + $11.8 + $1.3
= $343.7 billion
b. For NDP
NDP = GDP - Consumption of fixed capital or depreciation
= $343.7 - $11.8
= $331.9 billion
c. For NI
NI = GDP + Net foreign income
= $331.9 billion + 2.2 billion
= $334.1 billion
All values are in billions
Answer:
P₀ = $12.23
Explanation:
Div₃ = $1.25
Div₄ = $1.65
Div₅ = $2.178
Div₆ = $2.30868
first we must calculate the terminal value using the dividend discount model = $2.30868 / (17% - 6%) = $20.988
now we must discount all the future dividends + terminal value
P₀ = $1.25/1.17³ + $1.65/1.17⁴ + $2.178/1.17⁵ + $20.988/1.17⁵ = $12.23
Answer:
It suggests that they are not doing anything competitively different.
Explanation:
Network externalities if well harnessed should bring about an increase in end users satisfaction and value derived.
Multi housing costs, ordinarily, and when taken as a whole, should results to an overall minimization of the total costs. Economics of scales and other resources are centrally allocated here, and the effect should be a gain to the entity.
Level of differentiation across firm's offerings - products or services, signals the procedures an organization adopt to mark the uniqueness of their products or services. It shows how distant they are among the other varying sets.
Thus, from the case given, the four firms have the same share of the market - 25%. The implication is that as far as we are concerned, their level of activities and postures in the market is same and/or similar. This ultimately cuts across the network externalities, multi housing costs and the level of differentiation of firm's offerings. They are thus not competitively different.
Answer:
If Hickory Manufacturing elects to sue the United States (the IRS is a federal administrative agency) to recover the refund, it must pursue the matter:
D. in United States Tax Court, since the dispute involves a tax matter.
Explanation:
The United States Tax Court is the federal trial court of record for tax disputes. It is like a tribunal, which is inferior to the Supreme Court. It was established by Congress, under Article I of the Constitution in 1969, to hear tax matters and adjudicate tax disputes. Appeals are made directly, from this court, to the appeal court, before the matter can be dragged to the US Supreme Court.
