Answer:

a) Productivity of country A = 20 goods per hour

Productivity of country B = 25 goods per hour

Real GDP per person for country A = 128 goods per person

Real GDP per person for country B = 135 goods per person

b) Country B is better off

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

For country A

Population = 1,000

Number of workers = 800

Number of working hour per day = 8

Final goods = 128,000

For country B

Population = 2,000

Number of workers = 1,800

Number of working hour per day = 6

Final goods = 270,000

Now,

(a) The Productivity is given as

= [ Total Output ÷ Total Productive Hours ]

Thus,

Productivity of country A

= [ 128,000] ÷ [ 800 × 8 ]

= 20 goods per hour

Productivity of country B

= [ 270,000 ] ÷ [ 1800 × 6 ]

= 25 goods per hour

and,

Real GDP per person = [ Final goods ] ÷ [ Population ]

Real GDP per person for country A

= 128000 ÷ 1000

= 128 goods per person

Real GDP per person for country B

= [ 270000 ] ÷ 2000

= 135 goods per person

(b) Since,

The Real GDP per person for country B is greater than the Real GDP per person for country A

Therefore,

Country B is better off

Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

D) $165,000

Explanation:

Partner        Capital Balance             Income Share

Nunes              $250,000                        20%

Orta                  $180,000                         30%

Paulo                $150,000                         50%

Totals               $580,000                       100%

Orta's balance - capital balance = $180,000 - $159,000 = $21,000 which will increase the partnership's total capital balance

partnership's capital balance = $421,000

the extra $21,000 will be divided according to each remaining partner's income distribution:

  • Paulo = (50%/70%) x $21,000 = $15,000
  • Nunes = (20%/70%) x $21,000 = $6,000

Paulo's capital balance = $150,000 + $15,000 = $165,000
