An electronic firm invested $60,000 in a precision inspection device. It cost $4000 to operate and maintain in the first year an

Anon25 [30]

Answer:

$9,287.63

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Amount invested = $60,000

Operating cost for the first year = $4000

Operating and maintaining cost after 1 year = $3,000

Selling price = $60,000

Now,

Amount paid extra in the year 1 = $4,000 - $3,000

= $1,000

EUAC ($)

= $60,000 × A/P(10%, 4) + $3,000 + $1,000 × P/F(10%, 1) × A/P(10%, 4) - [ $60,000 × P/F(10%, 4) × A/P(10%, 4) ]

= [ $60,000 × 0.3155 + 3,000 + 1,000 × 0.9091 × 0.3155 ] - [ 60,000 × 0.6830 × 0.3155 ]

= [ $18,930 + $3,000 + $286.82 ] - [ $12,929.19 ]

= $9,287.63

A major reason why it is difficult to lower the barriers to free trade is A. the loss of jobs without any gain of jobs from free

Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

B) the uneven distribution of gains and losses from free trade.

Explanation:

One of the most important reasons why governments impose trade barriers is to protect domestic jobs (and domestic industries). We are part of a society (country), and society's most important component is people, not money. Generally the economic gains of free trade are larger than the economic losses, but the economic losses hurt the most.

Imagine if no trade barriers actually existed, how many millions of jobs would be lost in the US. Trade barriers are nothing new, the current president didn't invent them. He just incinerated them.

How does a leader tell the people that 10 or 20 million must lose their jobs and probably will not be able to find any similar jobs in the future just because the rest of society will benefit from cheaper products. The lives of 20 million households (50-80 million people) would be destroyed, while 280 million people would benefit.

The amount of harm done to the people that lose their jobs is much greater than any individual benefit.

Ulleksa [173]

Answer: A reversing entry: "is the exact opposite of an adjusting entry made in a previous period.".

Explanation: Reversion entries are an end-of-the-year technique that involves the reversal, on the first day of the new accounting period, of those end-of-year adjustment entries that cause expenses or income and therefore will result in payments or cash receipts. Its purpose is to allow company personnel to record routine transactions in a standard manner without referring to previous adjustment entries.

Use the expenditure multiplier to calculate the change in AD that would result from a $100 million increase in government spendi

adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

If MPC is 0.8, Change in GDP = $500 million

If MPC is 0.95, Change in GDP = $2,000 million

Explanation:

Expenditure Multiplier is the amount by which the real GDP will change if autonomous expenditure changes by a given amount.

It is calculated as follows: 1/(1-MPC).

MPC is the portion of additional income that is spent. If the MPC is 0.8, then the expenditure multiplier will be = 1/(1-0.8) = 5

Using the first scenario with an increase in government spending by $100million, the resulting change in GDP would be

Change in GDP = change in autonomous expenditure × Multiplier

= 100 × 5 = $500 million

Scenario 2, MPC of 0.95

Expenditure Multiplier = 1/(1-0.95) = 20

Change in GDP= 100 × 20 = $2000 million
