Answer:

a. during the the construction period of a self-constructed asset

Explanation:

"Determining the cost of constructing a new building is often more difficult. Usually this cost includes architect’s fees; building permits; payments to contractors; and the cost of digging the foundation. Also included are labor and materials to build the building; salaries of officers supervising the construction; and insurance, taxes, and interest during the construction period."

In a small, closed economy, national income (GDP) is $ 400.00 million for the current quarter. Individuals have spent $ 150.00 m

Mashcka [7]

Answer:

The amount spent in this economy in the said quarter is $100,000,000.00

Explanation:

However, in closed economies what it simply means is that there are no exports and imports.

Investment (I) = business investment plus residential investment plus inventory investment. Government Purchases (G) = general government consumption plus general government investment. Net Exports (NE) = exports minus imports plus net tourism.

∴ to calculate the amount of money spent on this closed economy, I will use the Expenditure Approach formula for GDP and make Investment the subject of the formula which is

GDP formula is used which states that total output/GDP (Y) is equal to Consumption (C) + Investment (I) + Government Spending (G) + Net exports (NX). Where net exports is exports (X) minus imports (M): NX = X – M.

Where:

GDP (Y) = C + I + G + (X-M)

Where:

GDP (Y) = $400,000,000.00

C = $150,000,000.00

I = 0

G = $150,000,000.00

(X-M) = 0

GDP (Y) = C + I + G + (X-M) =

$400,000,000.00 = $150,000,000.00 + (I) + 150,000,000.00 + (X-M)

Making (I) the subject of the Formula

GDP- C -G = I

∴ $400,000,000.00 - $150,000,000.00 - $150,000,000.00 = I

∴ $400,000,000.00 - $300,000,000.00

= $100,000,000.00

The amount spent in this economy in the said quarter

= $100,000,000.00.

Note: I did not add the Tax because I used the Expenditure approach method which does not include the tax values while the Income Approach method does include it but excludes Export and Import values.

If Randy invests $15,000 at a 9% interest

WITCHER [35]

It will take 8.04 years for the initial investment of $15000 to become $30,000

What is the future value of an investment?

The future value of $15,000 invested now earning a rate of return of 9% per year is $30,000, it the future equivalent of an amount invested now when the invested amount has earned interest over a specific period of time.

The below future value formula of single cash flow can be used to determine the number of years it takes for the initial investment to double.

FV=PV*(1+r)^N

FV=future value=$30,000

PV=initial investment=$15,000

r=rate of return=9%

N=number of years it takes for the initial investment to double=unknown(assume it is X)

$30,000=$15000*(1+9%)^N

$30000/$15000=(1+9%)^N

2=1.09^N

take log of both sides

ln(2)=N*ln(1.09)

N=ln(2)/ln(1.09)

N=8.04 years

Regency Inn leased a rental office in the lobby of its hotel to Americar, a car rental agency. Wagner rented a car from Americar

WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

The court ruled against both Americar and Regency Inn, and then Regency Inn won its case against Americar. The nuisance case itself is pretty unpleasant, so it's not worth referring to it.

The fundamentals for the ruling against Americar were that they themselves had drafted the lease agreement and that the clause included in the lease agreement by which they agreed to indemnify Regency Inn was valid. The original lease term had already expired, but Americar continued to lease the offices on a monthly basis. Since they never left the place, the clauses in the original agreement were still valid even though the lease changed to a monthly basis. I.e. if you sign a lease contract and after the original contract is over, you continue to lease the same place, then the clauses from the original contract still apply.

The clause stated that Americar was liable for damages that took place on the leased premises or in their proximity, i.e. the area near their offices. The parking lot was considered to be in the proximity of Americar's offices.
