Answer:

$1,000

Explanation:

The computation of gain on sales is given below:-

Depreciation per year = $40,000 - $10,000 ÷ 10

= $3,000

Life of equipment = 5.5 years

Accumulated Depreciation on equipment = 5.5 × $3,000

= $16,500

Book value of equipment = $40,000 - $16,500

= $23,500

Gain = Proceed from sale - Book value at the time of sale

= $24,500 - $23,500

= $1,000

Pepsi [2]

Answer:

A) Somewhat​ effective, but only to the extent that most of the tax cut is concurrently spent on domestic​ output, that multiplier effects​ occur, and crowding out is small.

Explanation:

First of all, the larger amount of money would increase the inflation rate since aggregate supply hasn't increased. The number of goods and services offered do not vary, then only thing that varies is the amount of disposable money.

The larger the multiplier, the larger the positive effect. The multiplier formula = 1 / MPS (marginal propensity to save). Even though inflation increases, still the economy is going to grow. That unless the local residents decide to purchase many imported goods. The larger the amount of imported goods purchased, the lower the positive effects.

This type of policy can be very effective under conditions where deflation or inflation rates are near 0 or even negative. Although high inflation is very bad for the economy, a small amount of inflation is always needed to boost economic growth. The healthy inflation is around 1.5 - 2% per year. This way salaries and wages can grow, pushing aggregate demand and supply.

Given a prior forecast demand value of 1,100, a related actual demand value of 1,000, and a smoothing constant alpha of 0.3, wha
Korvikt [17]

Answer:

1,030

Explanation:

Calculation for what is the exponential smoothing forecast value

Exponential smoothing forecast value = 1,000 + 0.3 x (1,100-1,000)

Exponential smoothing forecast value = 1,000 + 0.3 x (100)

Exponential smoothing forecast value = 1,000 + 30

Exponential smoothing forecast value= 1,030

Therefore the exponential smoothing forecast value will be 1,030

stich3 [128]

Answer:

$565

Explanation:

First of all, the person that receives a gift does not pay taxes for it. Also, proceeds from a life insurance policy are not taxable either. Municipal bonds are not taxed by the federal government.

This means that Juanita's taxable income = $400 interests from Treasury bonds + $165 interests from savings account = $565.
