Answer:
Suppose the economy is experiencing an output gap of –3%
a. Monetary policy or fiscal policy can be used to raise actual output toward potential output when:
The government can increase its spending or reduce taxes, which will shift the IS curve to the right and increase GDP.
The Fed can reduce the interest rate, which will shift the MP curve down and increase GDP.
b. The policies identified in part a,
can be used together to raise actual output toward potential output.
Explanation:
Investment-Savings (IS) curve shows all the levels of interest rates and output (GDP) at which an economy's total desired investment (I) equals its total desired saving (S). This equilibrium can be achieved at a level of interest rate that maximizes output. The IS curve slopes downward, and to the right because at a lower interest rate, investment is higher, which produces more total output (GDP) for the economy.
Answer:
The amount of revenue to be recognized at 31st March is $383500
Explanation:
The revenue amount that should be recognized in the income statement as at March 31,2020 is the sales price of $365000 plus three months of installation fee since installation is expected to last six months and three months have passed since installation began.
Hence, the amount of revenue as at 31st March is calculated thus:
Sales price $365000
Installation fee for 3 months(3/6*$37000) <u>$18500</u>
Total revenue as at 31st March $ 383,500
The rationale behind this is that revenue is only recognized when the seller has discharged his or her obligation under the contract not when cash is received and it is very clear that installation has been undertaken for 3 out of 6 months
Answer:
Unit cost= $5,5unit
Explanation:
Total manufacturing cost is the aggregate amount of cost incurred by a business to produce goods in a reporting period.
Generally accepted accounting principles require that the cost of goods sold shall consist of:
the cost of direct materials
the cost of direct labor
the cost of manufacturing overhead
Expenses that are outside of the manufacturing facilities, such as selling, general and administrative expenses, are not product costs. They are reported as expenses on the income statement in the accounting period in which they occur.
<u>In this exercise:</u>
Cost of goods manufactured:
Direct materials= $13700
Direct Labor=$4800
Factory overhead= 800hours*$25=$20000
Total= $38500
Unit cost= 38500/7000=$5,5unit
<span>The sales in 2018 will be $800,000. Let the sales in 2018 be x and 13% increase shows 1.13x and the calculation will be done by dividing 904000 with 1.13 and the answer will be 800000. This is simple calculation as the question is showing that the sales in 2018 were less so that answer is also checked.</span>
