<span>This means that:
-the value of output in 2015 was around $17.3 trillion
-total income in 2015 was around $17.3 trillion
-total spending in 2015 was around $17.3 trillion
Value of output and total spending has basically similar meaning because they account for the total amount required to produce all output/product within the period.
Assuming that it's all gonna be sold, the total income will be at least close to the amount needed for production because the nominal GDP is evaluated at current market prices.</span>

Answer: c. taxes on capital gains can be timed
Explanation:
Capital gains represent an appreciation in the value of a security therefore they bring in profit to the owners of that security. Capital gains are not taxed until the owner sells the security which means that these taxes can be timed by the owner who can decide to sell at specific times to reduce their tax bill.
This is different from dividends that are taxed as soon as the company declares them. The investors have no say as to the tax timing so they will prefer capital gains where they have some form of control.
Answer:
Slope of short-run aggregate supply curve: wage-price flexibility
In the short run, some factors are fixed and some factors can vary and the costs incurred on fixed factors are constant. Thus, the price level does not change as fast as it could have been if all are variable resources.
However, if prices are subjected to the variation in the wages, then the price level will increase faster than the costs. If actual price level is below the expected level, then the nominal wage rate is more than the expected and vice-versa. This would result in a greater slope of the short-run aggregate supply curve, which means short-run aggregate supply curve will be relatively steeper.
In the short run, the wage rate and price level are sticky downward because fall in nominal wage of workers will reduce the incentive to work.
Hence, if the wage rate adjusts continuously to any change in price; then the aggregate supply curie is relatively steep, and when wage and price level are sticky, then the short-run aggregate supply curve will be relatively flat.
Answer:
$58.729
Explanation:
To find the answer, we need to use the present value of an annuity formula.
The formula is:
P = X [(1 - (1 + i)^-n) / i ]
Where X is the annual instalment
P is the present value of the investment (500,000 in this case)(
i is the interest rate (10% in this case)
and n is the number of periods (20 years in this case)
We now plug the amounts into the formula:
500,000 = X [ (1 - (1 + 0.10)^-20) / 0.10 ]
500,000 = X [8.51356]
500,000 / 8.51356 = X
58,729 = X
So the value of the equal annual instalment will be $58.729
