1. Assume a closed economy, perfectly elastic labor supply, and linear technol-ogy. Suppose the incremental capital-output ratio

(ICOR) is 3, the depreciation rate is 3%, and the gross savings rate is 10%. Use the Harrod-Domar growth equation to determine the rate of growth. What would the gross savings rate have to be to achieve 5% growth? Assuming a perfectly elastic labor supply, state one criticism of this model from an exogenous growth theory viewpoint.

Answer:

<u>Using the Harrod-Domar growth equation</u>

Growth rate = Saving rate / Capital output ratio

Growth rate = 0.01 / 3

Growth rate = 0.003

Growth rate = 0.3%

Thus, the value of growth rate is 0.3%

When the incremental capital-output ratio is 3, to achieve the 5% growth rate, the gross saving rate is 0.24 or 24%

Exogenous growth: When the labor supply is perfectly elastic, then the exogenous does not allow any factor to substitute

Endogenous growth: When the labor supply is perfectly elastic, theem the exogenous does not lead to address the savings decision or sources of productivity growth.

eimsori [14]

Answer:

The answer is created a first-place science fair project.

Explanation:

When writing a resume, we usually refrain from using subjects when explaining our past work experiences and achievements. Generally, we focus on using verbs in past tense to explain what we have managed to do in these contexts. More specifically, it is preferred to use action verbs since our resume is supposed to give an explanation on what we have done in the past.

A seller sold a house to a buyer allowing the buyer to take over the loan on a "subject to" basis. After 2 years, the buyer defa
lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

A. The seller would be primarily liable.

Explanation:

Subject to basis is a form of home buying options in real estate. It is a situation where the buyer takes over existing loan of a seller and make commitment to seller to continue repaying the loan to the lender.

Though the buyer will taken over the loan from the seller and make repayment to the lender, there is no legal obligation on buyer`s part that makes him/her liable to the lender. The seller still remain liable despite the the taking over. So  option A is right while B to D is wrong because it`s only the seller that is primarily liable to the lender.

The cumulative effect of the declaration and payment of a cash dividend on a company's financial statements is to increase total
ankoles [38]

Answer:

decrease total assets and stockholders' equity

Explanation:

At the time of declaration a liability increases, against dividend expense.

At the time of payment that liability is settled by paying in cash.

Thus net effect of both transactions is decrease in cash and increase in expenses.

If we carefully analyse the options, then

we get that there is decrease in assets in the form of cash and decrease in equity as expenses decrease retained earnings which are owner's equity.

Therefore, correct option is

decrease total assets and stockholders' equity.

schepotkina [342]

Answer:

Friendly Farm Company

Schedule of Straight-line, Units of Production, and Double Declining Balance:

                             Straight-line     Units of Production    Double Declining

Year 1 Book value   $350,000        $350,000                               $350,000

Depreciation Exp.     $80,000          $96,000 (30,000*$3.20)      $175,000

Year 2 Book value $270,000        $254,000                                 $175,000

Depreciation Exp.    $80,000           128,000 (40,000*$3.20)          87,500

Year 3 Book value $190,000         $126,000                                  $87,500

Depreciation Exp.   $80,000             64,000 (20,000*$3.20)          43,750

Year 4 Book value $110,000           $62,000                                  $43,750

Depreciation Exp.    80,000              32,000 (10,000*$3.20)         $13,750

Residual value       $30,000           $30,000                                  $30,000

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Cost of new machine = $350,000

Estimated useful life = 4 years or 100,000 hours

Residual value = $30,000

Usage of machine:

Year 1 = 30,000 hours

Year 2 = 40,000 hours

Year 3 = 20,000 hours

Year 4 = 10,000 hours

Units of Production = $320,000/100,000 = $3.20 per unit

Depreciable amount = $320,000 ($350,000 - $30,000)

Straight-line method, Depreciation per year = $80,000 ($320,000)

= 25% (100/4).

Depreciation expense, using Double-Declining Balance rate = 25% * 2 = 50%:

Year 1 = $350,000 * 50% = $175,000

Year 2 = $175,000 * 50% = $87,500

Year 3 = $87,500 * 50% = $43,750

Year 4 = $13,750 ($43,750 - $30,000)

b) These different methods still arrive at the same end result as shown above.  Note that depreciation is an accounting estimate which spreads the cost of an acquired long-term asset over its useful life.
