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

Entry into a market by new firms will increase the:_______
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

The right approach is Option a (supply of the good).

Explanation:

  • Supply would increase substantially of some more production. Increasing the income of established businesses wouldn’t rise, as there has been increasing competitiveness.
  • This similar value of the product is likely to decline due to further fulfillment as well as the same requirement. Marginal costs would never be compromised.

Anyone else alternatives possible does not apply to the situation throughout the question. That's the right thing above.

Akua’s Paint Supply charges $15 per gallon of paint. Akua started with three employees, who together produced 40 gallons of pain
timofeeve [1]

Answer:

$70

Explanation:

Total revenue from three employees:

= No. of gallons of paint produced × Selling price per gallon

= 40 × $15

= $600

Total revenue from four employees:

= No. of gallons of paint produced × Selling price per gallon

= 48 × $15

= $720

Total revenue created by 4th worker:

= Total revenue from four employees - Total revenue from three employees

= $720 - $600

= $120

Cost of hiring 4th worker = $50 per day

Therefore,

Marginal profit for the fourth employee:

= Total revenue created by 4th worker - Cost of hiring 4th worker

= $120 - $50

= $70

              (To record the cash received within

              discount period)

N:B

From above ; on May 15 ;

We determine the accounts receivable amount after sales return and allowances;

i.e

Account receivable = Sales - Sales return - Compensation Period

                                 = $12,000 -$1,200 - $ 400

                                 = $10,400

The cash discount =  Account receivable × 2 %

                               = $10,400 × 0.02

                               = $208

The cash received amount = Account receivable × 98%

                               = $10,400 × 0.98

                               = $10,192

I hope that helps alot!
