Answer:

The correct answer is letter "A": It may not lead to a sizable increase in physical capital in poorer countries.

Explanation:

Most underdeveloped countries rely on foreign aid to reduce the poverty rate. While this is could be the fastest method to relieve social problems it curses the underdeveloped country's economy to remain stagnant. <em>Countries providing aid mostly do it by providing goods of immediate use such as food or clothing but poor countries need investment to improve their industries, generate employment and in such a way increase individuals' income. </em>

Therefore, <em>physical capital is unlikely to grow in poorer countries depending on foreign nations' aid.</em>

A competitive firm produces output using three fixed factors and one variable factor. The firm's short run production function i
Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

D) 75

Explanation:

Our initial production function is:

q = 305X - 2X²        

we calculate the derivative of q:

(q') = 305 - 4X

MP = 305 - 4X

$10 / $2 = 305 - 4X

5 = 305 - 4X

4X = 305 - 5 = 300

x = 300 / 4

x = 75

The BVM Corp., construction company, purchased a used hybrid electric pickup truck for 30,000 and used MACRS depreciation in the
Alina [70]

Answer:

The BVM Corp.

The After-tax Rate of Return for the truck = After-Tax Income/Investment in Truck x 100

= $10,200/$30,000 x 100 = 34%

Explanation:

a) Calculations:

Current Value of the Truck =

Sale of Truck =             $9,000

Savings from Truck = $38,000 ($9,500 x 4)

Total                           $47,000

Investment increase  = $17,000 ($47,000 - 30,000)

Combined Tax = $6,800 (40% x $17,000)

After Tax Income = $10,200 ($17,000 - 6,800)

b) MACRS means the modified accelerated cost recovery system.  It is an allowance by the IRS for faster depreciation in the first years of an asset's life and the depreciation slows later on in order to allow a business to recover the cost basis of certain assets that deteriorate over time.

c) Rate of return (ROR) is the percentage increase or decrease of an investment (truck) over a set period of time (4 years), which is calculated by taking the difference between the current (or expected) value ($47,000) and original value ($30,000), dividing by the original value, and then this is multiplied by 100.

Presented below is information related to Splish Company. Cost Retail Beginning inventory $362,797 $286,000 Purchases 1,370,000
KiRa [710]

Answer:

$200,455

Explanation:

For calculating the inventory by the conventional retail inventory method. we required to do the following computations which are shown below:

Using cost method

Goods available for sale:

= Beginning inventory + Purchases

= $362,797 + $1,370,000

= $1,732,797

Using retail method

Goods available for sale:

= Beginning inventory + Purchases  + Net markups - Net markdowns

= $286,000 + $2,145,000 + $80,300 - $27,800

= $2,483,500

Now

Cost to retail ratio = $1,732,797 ÷ ($286,000 + $2,145,000 + $80,300)

                             = $1,732,797 ÷ $2,511,300

                             = 0.69

Now

Estimated ending inventory at retail

= Goods available for sale under Retail method - Sales revenue

= $2,483,500 - $2,193,000

= $290,500

So,

Estimated ending inventory at cost:

= Estimated ending inventory at retail × Cost to retail ratio

= $290,500 × 0.69

= $200,455
