Answer:

Option A,$257,732 is correct

Explanation:

The computation of income from operations requires that the operating expenses(variable operating expenses and fixed operating expenses) be deducted in the current period as against charging a portion to closing inventory as it is obtainable under the absorption costing method:

Direct materials                                            $180,100

Direct labor                                                   $238,100

Variable factory overhead                            $261,800

Total prime costs                                              $680,000  

Less closing stock(1900*$680,000/18200)    ($70,989)  

Costs of good sold                                            $609,011  

add:operating expenses:

variable operating expenses                            $126,500

Fixed operating expenses                                 $49,900

Fixed factory overhead                                       $97,900

Total expenses                                                     $883,311  

income from operations=sales-total expenses

                                        =$1,141,000-$883,311=$257,689

The $257,689 is closest to option A,$257,732 the difference could be due to rounding error

How do banks create money?
Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

Commercial banks, required reserve, loans, deposits, create.

Explanation:

The main function of commercial banks is to accept deposits and then to lend the same money (minus required reserves) back out. Banks make a profit by charging a higher interest rate on loans than the interest rate they pay on deposits. Through the loan process, banks are actually able to create money.

The major function of commercial banks is

1. Accepting deposits from people and business organzations.

2. Giving loans to Customers to be paid at a specific period of time at an agreed interest rate.

Required reserve is the minimum amount of money which in required for a commercial Bank to hold/save out of every deposit. If the required reserve is 10% of every deposit, a customer customer deposited $100. The required will be $10 which the bank will hold. The remaining $90 is the balance which banks can loan out to Customers.

Commercial Banks make profit by charging a higher interest rate on loan and lower interest rate on deposits. For example: 7.5% interest rate on loan and 2.5% interest rate on deposits. The 5% difference is the bank Profit.

If the marginal product of capital net depreciation equals 8 percent, the rate of growth of population equals 2 percent, and the
Sphinxa [80]

Question:                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  

If the marginal product of capital net depreciation equals 8 percent, the rate of growth of population equals 2 percent, and the rate of labor-augmenting technical progress equals 2 percent, to reach the Golden Rule level of the capital stock, the ____ rate in this economy must be _____.      

A) saving; increased  

B) population growth; decreased

C) depreciation; decreased

D) total output growth; decreased

Answer

The correct answer is  A) <u>Saving</u> rate of the economy must be i<u>ncreased</u> in order for the economy to reach the Golden Rule Level of the Capital Stock.

Explanation

Golden Rule Level of the Capital Stock is the level at which

MPK = δ,

Where MPK is Marginal Product; and δ the depreciation rate;

so that the marginal product of capital equals the depreciation rate.

In the Solow growth model, a <em>high saving rate results in a large steady-state capital stock and a high level of steady-state output.</em> A low saving rate results to a small steady state capital stock and a low level of steady-state output. Higher saving leads to faster economic growth only in the short run. An increase in the saving rate raises growth until the economy reaches the new steady state. That is, if the economy retains a high saving rate, it will also maintain a large capital stock and a high level of output, but it will not maintain a high rate of growth forever .
