Assume that bananas cost $0.50 in 2002 and $1 in 2007, whereas pears cost $1 in 2002 and $1.50 in 2007. Suppose that 4 bananas w

ere produced in 2002 and 5 in 2007, whereas 3 pears were produced in 2002 and 4 in 2007. Calculate the nominal GDP in 2002 and 2007, the real GDP (in 2002 prices) in 2007, the GDP deflators in 2002 and 2007 using 2002 prices. Finally, using the GDP deflators that you just calculated, find the implicit inflation between 2002 and 2007.

Answer:

Real GDP [2002]  = 5, Real GDP [2007]  = 6.5, Nominal GDP [2002] = 5, Nominal GDP [2007] = 11

GDP Deflator = 169, Implicit Inflation rate = 69%

Explanation:

Real GDP is the value of goods & services produced, at base year prices. Current year = 2007, Base year = 2002 here.

2002 : Qb = 4 , Qp = 3  , Pb = 0.5  , Pp = 1

2007 :  Qb = 5 , Qp = 4 , Pb = 1 , Pp =  1.5

Real GDP  [2002] = Pb(02) Qb(02) + Pp(02) Qp(02)

= (0.5)4 + 1(3) = 2 + 3 = 5

Real GDP [2007] = Pb(02) Qb(07) + Qp(07) Pp(02)

= 0.5 (5) + 1 (4) = 2.5 + 4 = 6.5

Nominal GDP [2002] = Pb(02) Qb(02) + Pp(02) Qp(02)

= (0.5)4 + 1(3) = 2 + 3 = 5

Nominal GDP [2007] = Pb(07) Qb(07) + Pp(07) Qp(07)

= 1 (5) + 1.5 (4) = 5 + 6 = 11

GDP Deflator [currrent year 07] = Nominal GDP (07) / Real  GDP (07) x 100

(11 / 6.5) x 100 ~ 169

So, implicit inflation rate is 69%

photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

A) $560 million

Explanation:

First lets calculate the NPV of the cash stream by this investment,

PV Cash stream = Cash flow/ (r-g), where r = avg cost of capital and g = growth of the cash stream.

PV = 50 / (0.09 - 0.04)  = $1000 million

We assume that external finance issuance costs are payable as a part of initial outlay of the project and so,

Total initial outlay = 420 + 20 = $440 million

NPV of the project then,

NPV = 1000 - 440 = $560 million

Hope that helps.

  • the items has been delivered or the service has been rendered

Given that the contract specified a delivery date of March 1.

The equipment was not delivered until March 31 and as such, the revenue for the contract should be recognized on March 31 after the delivery of the equipment.
