Answer:

A) $24,602

Explanation:

We can solve this question by finding the periodic deposits needed by using the formula:

FV=PMT*\frac{(1+i)^n-1}{i}

where:

FV= future value   = $220,000

PMT = periodic deposits required = ???

i = effective  interest rate per period = 0.0331

n= number of deposits = 8

However, since the interest is compounded monthly, let's also  calculate the effective interest rate

Effective interest rate = (1+\frac{r}{m}) ^m-1

where; r = 12.5% = 0.125

(1+\frac{0.125}{12})^{12} -1

= 0.1324

Interest rate per period = \frac{0.1324}{4}

= 0.0331

Then;

220,000=PMT*\frac{(1+0.033)^8-1}{0.033}

220,000 = PMT × 8.986

PMT = \frac{220,000}{8.986}

PMT = $ 24,482.5

Since A) $24,602 is closer to $ 24,482.5

Therefore,  $ $24,602  must be deposited every three months

Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

The correct answer is $19 trillion

Explanation:

Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is the total market or monetary value of all the goods and services produced by a country within its borders over a given period of time. It is used as a measure of a country's economic health, due to its broad coverage.

The formula for calculating GDP is: GD P  =  C  +  I  +  G  +  ( X  −  M )

where :

C = private consumption (consumer goods)

I = gross investments (investment goods)

G = government investments or government spending (govt. services)

X = export

M = import

Therefore:

GDP (in trillion) = 10 + 4 + 6 + (4 - 6) = 10 + 10 - 1 = $19 trillion dollars.

Please note that there is the nominal GDP and real GDP.

Nominal GDP is the total value of all the final goods and services a country produces within a year, while real GDP is the value of the goods and services produced within a year, putting inflation effects into account.

Variable overhead cost per unit =100,000/1,000                   100.00

Standard Variable overhead for 750 Units = 750 * 100             75,000.00

Actual Variable overhead             75,000.00

Variable overhead spending variance= Standard VO - Actual VO  

Variable overhead spending variance= 75,000 - 75,000  

Variable overhead spending variance= 0
