Answer:

The correct answer is C: 48000

Explanation:

The Expenditure Approach is a method of measuring GDP by calculating all spending throughout the economy including consumer consumption, investing, government spending, and net exports. This method calculates what a country produces, assuming that the finished goods and services of a country equals the amount spent in the country for that period.

<u>The formula is: </u>

GDP=C+I+G+/-NX

GDP: Gross Domestic Product

(C) consumer spending – this is the amount that all consumers spend on goods and services for personal use.

(I) investment – this is the amount that businesses or owners spend to invest in new equipment or expansions.

(G) government spending – this includes spending on new infrastructure like bridges and roads.

(NX) net exports – this includes spending on a country’s exports minus its spending on imports.

AddedGDP= 56000-8000

AddedGDP= 48000

Midyear on July 31st, the Chester Corporation's balance sheet reported:
erastova [34]

Answer:

$76.856 million

Explanation:

As we know that Balance sheet is divided in two portions.

1. Total Assets (Current Assets + Fixed Assets)

2. Total Liabilities and Share Holders' Equity.

and they both should be equal. So we can write from the above information, as:

Total Assets = Total Liabilities + Total Common Stock + Retained Earnings

N.B. We are excluding Cash from our calculation cause we assume that Cash is already been included in Total Assets.

Hence, by putting the values in above equation we can find our Retained Earnings as:

Retained Earnings + $128.230 million + $6.350 million = $211.436 million

Retained Earnings + $134.58 million = $211.436 million

Retained Earnings = $211.436 million - $134.58 million

Retained Earnings = $76.856 million

The CPA Practice Advisor reports that the mean preparation fee for 2017 federal income tax returns was $273. Use this price as t
larisa [96]

Answer:

The CPA Practice Advisor

The probability that the mean price for a sample of 30 federal income tax returns is within $16 of the population mean is:

= 56%

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Population mean (preparation fee for 2017 federal income tax returns) = $273

Population standard deviation of preparation fees = $100

Mean price for a sample of 30 federal income tax returns = $257 (which is within $16 of the population mean)

z = (x-μ)/σ

z = standard score

x = observed value

μ = mean of the sample

σ = standard deviation of the sample

Z = ($273 - $257)/$100

= 0.16

Using the z-table

P = 0.5636

.Andrea sold a piece of machinery she used in her business for 9 months. The amount realized was $50,000 and the adjusted basis
Vinvika [58]

Answer:

Realized loss = $5000

Explanation:

The adjusted basis is the net cost of an asset after it has had depreciation deductions and/or capital expenditure increments. In other words, its actual worth at that particular point in time.

The amount realized is the fair market value and the sum of any money received at the sale of an asset.

A realized gain or loss is the difference between the amount realized from the sale of the asset and the asset's adjusted basis on the time of its sale. A positive figure proves to be a gain and a negative figure proves to be a loss. In other words, when an asset is sold for a price higher than what it is actually worth at the time of sale, it is a realized gain whilst if it is sold for a price lower than what its net cost is, it is a realized loss.

In this case,

$50,000 - $55,000 = $(5000)

There is a realized loss for Andrea of $5000 on the sale of this machinery.
