401(k) is an employer-provided plan, IRA isn't.
Answer:
The answer is C.
Explanation:
Gross Domestic Product is the total market value of all final goods and services produced within a country during a given period of time. It is usually a year.
In calculating, GDP, we have expenditure approach, income approach and value-added approach.
In this question, the expenditure approach will be used to explain the answer to this question.
To calculate GDP using expenditure approach, the formula is:
C + I + G + (X-M)
where C is the consumers' spending
I is the investment spending
G is government spending
X is the exports
M is the imports.
The correct answer is C. firms purchases of inventories is part of investment spending. Firms can purchase raw materials(inventory) and process it into finished goods(inventory). The change in inventory(difference between the closing inventory and opening inventory) is part of the calculation of investment spending.
Households buying inventories(finished goods) is part of consumers' spending and not investment spending.
Additionally i would calculate it first and then divide it :) and don't forget to use pi
Answer:
A. How much time would it take the two students to complete the project if they divide the two tasks equally?
- James needs 10 hours to complete half the task and Jane needs 16 hours to do her part = total work 26 hours
B. How much time would it take the two students to complete the project if they use comparative advantage and specialize in calculating or preparing slides?
- If they specialize, then Jane should do the calculations (12 hours) and James should prepare the slides (10 hours) = total work 22 hours
C. If James and Jane have the same opportunity cost of $5 per hour, is there a better solution than for each to specialize in calculating or preparing slides?
- Yes, Jane should pay James so that he does the whole work all by himself. Since James opportunity cost is $5 per hour, his total economic cost of doing the work is $100, and half of that is $50. Jane's economic cost of doing her part is $60 (= 12 x $5), so if she pays any amount lower than $60 and equal or higher than $50 to James, then they would both win.
Explanation:
50 powerpoint slides
James needs 10 hours to do the calculations and 10 hours to prepare the slides = 20 hours total / 2 = 10 hours
Jane needs 12 hours to do the calculations and 20 hours to prepare the slides = 32 hours total / 2 = 16 hours
James's opportunity cost of doing the calculations or preparing the slides is 10 / 10 = 1
Jane's opportunity cost of doing one hour of calculations is 20 / 12 = 1.67 hours of preparing slides.
Jane's opportunity cost of doing one hour of preparing slides is 12 / 20 = 0.6 hours of calculations.
