san4es73 [151]

Answer:

A.$13,000

Explanation:

The computation of ending balance is shown below:-

Factory overhead = $24,000 × 50%

= $12,000

Total cost = Direct material + Direct labor + Factory overhead + Current period cost + Opening work in progress

= $76,000 + $24,000 + $12,000 + $10,000

= $122,000

Ending work in progress = Total cost - Cost of units transferred

= $122,000 - $109,000

= $13,000

The keywords for this question are TAXES and SPENDING.

The means that a Discretionary FISCAL policy includes Taxes and Spending.

The Government can do this by REDUCING TAXES which will means people have more money to spend and ADDITIONAL SPENDING on NATIONAL PARK FACILITIES as this means that the government is pumping more money into the Economy.

This is where the Government aims to put more money into the economy so that growth can be acheived and they do this by lowering taxes and increasing spending either singularly or simultaneously.

In an economy, the government wants to increase aggregate demand by $50 billion at each price level to increase real GDP and red
Tems11 [23]

Answer:

(B) $20 billion

Explanation:

Given a certain level of MPC, an increase in government spending (G) by a certain amount translates to an increase in aggregate demand (AD) through the relationship below.

ΔAD = \frac{ΔG}{1 - MPC}

where Δ means <em>change.</em>

<em />

Therefore, given ΔAD of $50 billion, and MPC of 0.6,

ΔAD = \frac{ΔG}{1 - MPC}

= 50 = \frac{ΔG}{1 - 0.6}

= 50 = \frac{ΔG}{0.4}

= ΔG = 50 * 0.4 = 20

Therefore, increase in government purchases = $20 billion.

Why has America been referred to as " the land of opportunity"?
kozerog [31]

Same as with Canada which is where both my grandfathers came from. Let's see how many reasons I can come up with just off the top of my head and just for those two.

  1. They enjoyed the freedom of the First Amendment (speech, press, religion, assembly -- Canada has the same provision) that was not granted in the country they left. They never exercised those rights, I don't think, but their children and grandchildren did.
  2. They were free to raise their children so that they had the chance of being productive. My father was an MD, but he owed that piece of good fortune to his father. The country from which they came would never have allowed him to get all that education.
  3. They were able to eventually bring their wives and children with them. There was enough money to be made, even at jobs that didn't pay much, to bring them across the Atlantic.
  4. They were able, once the families were here, to turn their attention to bettering their conditions. They never became rich, but no one starved either. That's more than could be said about those relatives who didn't do as they did.
  5. They were free to travel. They didn't do that, but their children and especially their grandchildren did. That too was very limited where they came from.
  6. They had medical care and good medical care which was not given to just anyone where they came from.
