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.

Anit [1.1K]

Answer: their domestic consumers are demanding

Explanation:

In Porter's Diamond Strategy, he explains why some nations are more competitive than others. One of the factors mentioned was the DEMAND CONDITIONS.

He posited that home demand has a huge influence on how favourable domestic industries are.

How?

A larger market at home presents companies with challenges as well as more opportunities to grow and become better and more efficient.

Striving to satiate such a demand will enable companies to scale new heights and they will learn more about consumer behavior much quicker. They will then use this knowledge to apply and conquer new markets thanks to being forced to adapt early by their own domestic market.

forsale [732]

Answer:

Discs and the Internet are unreliable and often slow, and there's nothing quite as distracting as "<u>having this issue</u>" in the middle of a presentation.

Explanation:

Presentation is often a formal talk or sharing of ideas about a topic which can be on any field, matter, discovery, product, to an audience.    

Since discs are used for optical storage, which allows data storage and data retrieval are very good to store information for presentation.

However, discs can be unreliable likewise the internet. As a disc is a computer hardware, it can be attacked by a computer virus thereby affecting the stored data, and the internet speed also varies across locations, all these can cause distractions in the middle of a presentation especially if one needs the disc and the internet to be able to render a presentation efficiently.

Debt Weight 0.7

WACC = 0.16(0.3) + 0.06(0.7)

WACC 9.00000%
