Answer:

The current option is A,the purchase of a new home

Explanation:

The house is classified under investment because it is capable of bringing return.It is possible for the owner to sublet a part of the building in return for yearly rent or even the entire building.

The purchase of a new tv cannot be said to be income generating as it for home pleasure.

The purchase of a new yacht falls into the same category as the tv except if it purchased by a boat cruising company.

The stoves and washing machines are for usage at  home, not meant to bring in returns

Answer:

a. the purchase of a new home 

Explanation:

Gross domestic product is the sum of all final goods and services produced in an economy within a given period which is usually a year

GDP calculated using the expenditure approach = Consumption spending by households on durable and non durable goods + Investment spending by businesses + Government Spending + Net Export

The purchase or a new home is considered an investment and thus it is added to investment when calculating GDP .

I hope my answer helps you

algol13

The amount of finished goods inventory on the balance sheet at year-end is $11,880

What is the cost of producing 5,600 units?

total production costs=direct materials+ production workers' wages+ lease payments and utilities on the production facilities

total production costs=$11,440+$9,900+$8,900

The finished goods inventory is units produced minus the units sold

finished goods inventory=5600-3400

finished goods inventory=2,200

finished goods inventory on the balance sheet=2200*$30,240/5,600

finished goods inventory on the balance sheet=$11,880
