What economic activities are not included in GDP?

1 answer:

5 0

1. Illegal and unreported economic activity: While goods such as illegal drugs, gambling, and prostitution are sold in markets, the transactions are hidden for obvious reasons.

2. Home production and bartered goods/services: If cash doesn't change hands, the transaction will not be included in GDP. One of the somewhat misleading aspects of GDP is that whether certain things are included depends not on the nature of the good or service, but whether it was (openly) exchanged for cash.

Answer:

Louise's defense is not valid. She was involved in an Implied-in-fact contracts

Explanation:

Implied-in-fact Contracts

This is a contract that is legally enforceable as a result of an agreement made by conduct and from assumed intentions. These conducts and assumed intentions are derived from the relationship among the involved parties.

When Louise saw Midcity Painters painting her house and made no comments, she became involved a implied-in-fact contract. The conduct of Midcity to paint her house and her conduct to be quiet infact formed a legally enforceable contract.

Louise, therefore, liable. However, due to the lack of contractual terms such as payment for the job done, Louise will be liable for the nominally or typically acceptable rate for such a job done. For instance, if a normal house paint job costs $2000, Louise is liable to pay $2000 for the implied contract.

Nice Corporation produces and sells a single product. Data concerning that product appear below: Per Unit Percent of Sales Selli

attashe74 [19]

Answer:

Therefore, the change in total contribution margin is equal to change in net operating income, so there is no change in fixed expenses and will not be affected.

Explanation:

The computation as per given question is given below:-

Variable cost per unit

= $48 + $65

= $113

Contribution margin per unit

= $240 - $113

= $127

Unit Monthly sales

= 1,500 + 240

= 1,740

Total contribution margin

= 1,740 × $127

= $220,980

Total contribution margin

= 1,500 × $192

= $288,000

So, change in total contribution margin and net operating income

= $288,000 - $220,980

= $67,020

Therefore, the change in total contribution margin is equal to change in net operating income, so there is no change in fixed expenses and will not be affected.
