Answer:

a.

  • The quality of goods available to consumers
  • The costs of air and water pollution
  • The value of babysitting services, when the babysitter is paid in cash and the transaction isn't reported to the government

b. investment; decreases; no overall change

Explanation:

a. GDP only measures goods that have monetary value so when a good cannot be properly quantified in terms of cash, it is difficult to account for it in GDP. Also, even if the good has monetary value for the Government was unaware of it, they will be unable to use it in the calculation of GDP.

For these reasons, the quality of goods available to consumers, the costs of air and water pollution and the value of babysitting services, when the babysitter is paid in cash and the transaction isn't reported to the government will not be a part of GDP calculation.

b.<em> When a U.S. company purchases and imports wood from Brazil to use to build new houses within the United States, this purchase increases the </em><em><u>investment</u></em><em> component of GDP while also </em><em><u>decreasing</u></em><em> net exports by the same amount. Therefore, the purchase of wood from Brazil causes </em><em><u>no overall change </u></em><em>in US GDP. </em>

Purchasing raw materials for use in production is considered Investment by GDP. However, since it was imported it will reduce Net Exports which means that the transaction would cancel itself out in the GDP calculation as it would both increase investment and decrease Net exports by the same amounts.

GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

C. life estate

Explanation:

A life estate is an estate interest in land that lasts for the life time of the life tenant. The holder of a life estate has a full right to possess the property during their life. A life estate is restrictive in that it prevents the beneficiary from selling the property that produces the income before the beneficiary's death. But the estate cannot continue beyond the life of the beneficiary.  A major benefit of a life estate deed is that it can be used to pass property upon the life tenant's death without it being part of the life tenant’s estate.
