Answer:

a) $0

Generally, partners recognize gain on property contributed to a partnership only when the cash they are deemed to receive from debt relief exceeds their basis in the partnership prior to the deemed distribution. Harry did not have any debt relief.

b) $0.

Partners may never recognize loss when property is contributed to a partnership even when they are relieved of debt.

c) Sally should consider selling the property to the partnership rather than contributing it. By selling the property, she could recognize the $50,000 built-in loss on the equipment.

At the current steady state capital-labor ratio, assume that the steady state level of per capita consumption, (C/N)*, is greate
Blizzard [7]

Answer:

C) a reduction in the saving rate will have an ambiguous effect on (C/N)*

Explanation:

The steady state consumption refers to the difference between how capital wears out or depreciates vs total output. In order to keep a steady state consumption, the savings rate (which equals investment) must be enough to replace any worn out or completely depreciated capital.

Since the consumption rate is already higher than the steady state consumption, the effect of a decrease in the savings rate is ambiguous. Every dollar earned by a household is either spent or saved, and in order for savings to decrease, spending must increase.

But in this case, the spending level is already too high. A decrease in savings should increase consumption but the effects of the increase in the capital labor ratio and the per capita consumption are not certain.

His income increased dramatically;from$5000 a year to $60,000 a year. Jim decides that instead of using the bus, he would buy a
svet-max [94.6K]

Answer:

This implies that bus is an inferior good and car is a normal good.

Explanation:

Initially, Jim's income was $5000 a year.

As his income increases to $60,000 a year, he decides to buy a car instead of using the bus.  

In other words, with the increase in income, the demand for traveling by bus is declining.  

This implies that it is an inferior good.  

The demand for the car is increasing with an increase in income.  

So, the car is a normal good.  

An inferior good can be defined as a product that shows negative elasticity. This means with an increase in income its demand declines an vice versa.

A normal good can be defined as a product that shows positive income elasticity. That is, its demand increases with rise in income and vice versa.

Art [367]

Answer:

Explanation is given below

Explanation:

Given that, the total budget for the media is only $1,000 per month.

For the allocation, each type of media would get at least 25% of the budget.

Parameters:

$1000 = Monthly advertising budget

25%= Minimum spending for each type of media

50 = Value of the index for local newspaper advertising

80= Value of the index for spot radio advertising

Decision variables;

x1= Newspaper advertising budget

x2= Radio advertising budget

LP Model;

Maximize Z=50x1+ 80x2

Subject to:x1+ x2≤1000

x1≥ 250

x2≥ 250

x1,x2≥ 0

p.s. OptimumZ=72, 500,

x1=250,
