Critics of the National Income and Product Accounts (NIPA) argue that the accounts are outdated and fail to account for "intangi

bles" in our new knowledge-based economy. For example, many firms create copyrighted materials (movies, books, etc.) that, when completed, are much more valuable than just the value of the market place inputs that went into their production. What might be some of the problems associated with trying to include these intangibles in the NIPA?
A) The problem is actually minimal; the NIPA does not take the necessary steps to do the right thing.
B) The NIPA finds it difficult to place a value on something that is intangible.
C) The NIPA believes it is too easy for thieves to retrieve the information due to hackers.
D) The real problem is the timing of when to include such projects in the NIPA.

Answer: The correct answer is "B) The NIPA finds it difficult to place a value on something that is intangible.".

Explanation: The problem is to assign value to assets that are not material, that is, they are intangible, for some reasonable estimates can be made in order to include them in the gross domestic product to provide this statistic with greater precision.

For example: It is difficult to know what value can be assigned to a project that is not known if it will be completed or not and if it will be susceptible to market valuation?

Statement of equivalent units

Units transferred out                   19,000       19,000

Add: Closing work-in-progress   <u> 6,000 </u>      <u> 1,800</u>

Average divisor                            <u> 25,000 </u>    <u>20,800</u>

                        Computation of cost per unit

                                                              Material   Conversion

                                                                   $               $

Cost of beginning work-in-progress   10,000      19,000

Cost added                                           <u> 50,000 </u>   <u>112,248</u>

Total cost                                               <u> 60,000 </u>   <u>131,248</u>

Material cost per unit = <u>$60,000</u>

                                         25,000 units

                                    = $2.40 per unit

Conversion cost per unit = <u>$131,248</u>

                                            20,800 units    

                                          = $6.31 per unit

 Value of units transferred out

  Material = 19,000 x $2.40  = $45,600

  Conversion = 19,000 x $6.31 = $119,890

  Value of closing work-in-progress

 Material = 6,000 x $2.40 = $14,400

  Conversion = 1,800 x $6.31 = 11,358

           

Explanation:

In this case, we need to prepare statement of equivalent units in order to ascertain the average divisor. The average divisor is the sum of units transferred out and closing work-in-progress. Then, we will obtain the total cost of material and conversion, which is the aggregate of cost of opening work-in-progress and cost of units added. We will also calculate the cost per unit, which is total cost of material and conversion divided  by average divisor. Finally, the units transferred  and ending work-in-progress will be valued at unit cost of material and conversion.

Navistar Electric issued 1000 debenture bonds 2 years ago with a face value of $5,000 each and a bond interest rate of 15% per y
Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

$7,081.25

Explanation:

Face value = 5000

Coupon = 15% paid annually. Semi annual payment = 750/2 = 375

Time to maturity = 18 years

Interest rate = 10% compounded semi-annually

P = 375(P|A, 5%, 36) + 5000(P|F, 5%, 36)

P = 375(16.58131488) + 5000(0.17265193)

P = 6217.99308 + 863.25965

P = 7081.25273

P = $7,081.25

So, the present worth of one bond today is  $7,081.25

Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

The present Value of my winnings = $4,578,716.35

Explanation:

An annuity is a series od annual cash outflows or inflows which payable or receivable for a certain number of periods. If the annual cash flow is expected  to increase by a certain percentage yearly, it is called a growing annuity.

To work out the the present value of a growing annuity,

we the formula:

PV = A/(r-g) ×  (1-  (1+g/1+r)^n)

I will break out the formula into two parts to make the workings very clear to follow. So applying this formula, we can work out the present value of the growing annuity (winnings) as follows.

A/(r-g)

= 460,000/(12%-3%)

= $5,111,111.11

(1-  (1+g/1+r)^n

1 - (1+3%)/(1+12%)^(27)

=0.8958

PV = A/(r-g) ×  (1-  (1+g/1+r)^n)

$5,111,111.11 × $0.8958

= $4,578,716.35

The present Value of my winnings = $4,578,716.35
