To avoid double-counting output in GDP measures, _____ are excluded in GDP.

1 answer:

7 0

The correct answer is d). We have that government spending can also give way to products and services, just like private enterprises, thus there is no double-counting there. Services such as haircuts have their own value, which are separate from any other material products. Finally exports are also not counted twice; Raw materials though would be counted twice if we counted them for the GDP since their value is incorporated in the value of the final product. For example, we cannot count towards the GDP the value of rubber production in a country since then, if we counted the value of the tires too, we would count the value of the rubber in the tires twice (one time as rubber/ one time as part of the tire).

Andre45 [30]

Answer:

Debt equity ratio = 1.01

Explanation:

given data

WACC = 11.2 percent

cost of equity = 16.8 percent

pretax cost of debt = 8.7 percent

tax rate = 35 percent

to find out

What does the debt-equity ratio need to be for the firm to achieve its target WACC

solution

we get here WACC that is express as

WACC = Wd × Rd × (1-t) + We × Ke ..................1

here Wd is weight of debit and t is tax rate and Ke is cost of equity and

Wd + We = 1

so We = 1 - Wd

put value in equation 1

WACC = Wd × Rd × (1-t) + We × Ke

11.20% = Wd × 8.70% ×(1-35%) + (1-Wd) × 16.80%

solve and we get

Wd = 0.5025

so We will be

We = 1 - 0.5025

We = 0.4975

and

Debt equity ratio will be

Debt equity ratio = $\frac{0.5025}{0.4975}$

Debt equity ratio = 1.01

The returns of a capital amount to a compensation rate for depositing the money, to calculate these returns an interest rate is used by which the deposited capital is multiplied, in this case the rate is 4%.

As the money distributed is only the product of interest, then that money is the result of multiplying the capital by the interest rate, to obtain how much money Mr. Jefferson contributed, the reverse process will have to be done.

Answers

let <em>C</em> be the capital, then :

$C\times4 \% = 170500\\C\times\frac{4}{100}= 170500\\C=170500\times\frac{100}{4}\\C=4262500$

The capital contributed by Mr. Jefferson was <em>$4,262,500</em>
