Answer:
$18,750
Explanation:
The double declining method of depreciation (DDB) formula is:
DDB= 2 * Cost of the asset * Depreciation rate (DR)
DR= (1/useful life)*100
For this problem:
Value to depreciate: $75,000
DR= (1/4)*100= 25%
DEPRECIATION YEAR 1: DDB= 2 * $75,000*25%= $37,500
Machine´s value year 1: $75,000-$37,500= $37,500
DEPRECIATION YEAR 2: DDB= 2*37,500*25%= $18,750
Answer:
Nominal salaries decrease and the short term aggregate goes up to the right.
Explanation:
Companies normally make decisions about the amount of supplies in which they invest according to the profits that they expect to obtain in the future according to the variables of their economic activity. The profits for the company will be also determined by the price of the products or services the company trades and the price of the supplies necessary for such activities.
Let the amount received by the first person = x
First person receives: x
Second person receives: 2x - 6
Third person receives: 2x - 6 + 7 = 2x + 1
Solve for x
x + (2x - 6) + (2x + 1) = $180
5x - 5 = $180
5x = $185
x = $37
First person receives: $37
Second person receives: 2(37) - 6 = $68
Third person receives: 2(37) + 1 = $75
Answer:
2. (i) demand-side; (ii) both; (iii) supply-side; (iv) supply-side; (v) both
Explanation:
a. $1,000 per person tax reduction ⇒ focus on aggregate demand (more money for consumers to spend)
b. a 5% reduction in all tax rates ⇒ focus on both aggregate demand and supply (more money for consumers and suppliers)
c. Pell Grants, which are government subsidies for college education ⇒ focus on aggregate supply (more money for suppliers of college education)
d. government-sponsored prizes for new scientific discoveries ⇒ focus on aggregate supply (more money for suppliers of new scientific discoveries)
e. an increase in unemployment compensation ⇒ focus on both aggregate demand and supply (more money for consumers resulting in higher prices and lower output)
