3 0

GDP is designed to assess the production of goods in a market economy by output. However, it is not efficient in accounting for public and private services that without output that are easily countable by the number of units produced. GDP is not also well suited in measuring improvements in the diversity and quality of goods and services. It is also poor in estimating the depletion of resources. Finally, it doesn't also reflect the degradation of the environment involved in the production process.

COSTS

Purchase price $0 -$75000 -$75000

Direct labor -$56000 -$37000 19000

(11200*5 = -56000)

(7400*5 = -37000)

pychu [463]

Answer:

0.7156 USD/CAD

Explanation:

Relationship between relative PPP and inflation rates can be expressed as given below:

S(1)/S(0) = (1+I(y)) / (1+I(x))................(1)

==> S(0) = spot exchange rate at the beginning of the time period

==> S(1) = spot exchange rate at the end of the time period

==> I(y) = expected inflation rate for country y, which is foreign country

==> I(x) = expected inflation rate for country x, which is domestic country.

Here, assumes that the US is a foreign country and Canada is domestic country

I(y) = (200/165) - 1 = 21.21%

I(x) = (220/170) - 1 = 29.41%

On putting the values of I(x) and I(y) in the first equation, we get:

S(1)/0.764 = (1+0.2121) / (1+0.2941)

S(1)/0.764 = 0.9366354996

S(1) = 0.764*0.936635

S(1) = 0.7156 USD/CAD

If relative PPP holds, the spot exchange rate in 2015 will be 0.7156 USD/CAD

DiKsa [7]

Answer:

$27,200

Explanation:

The adjusted basis is the value given to an asset (and used by the IRS) when you have to determine any capital gain or loss resulting from its sale. It should generally be the original cost of purchasing that asset.

Kevin's basis = (300 shares x $90 per share) + $200 in sales commission

Kevin's basis = $27,000 + $200 = $27,200

Hope This Helps! :D
