GDP is the sum of all goods and services produced in an economy. It is the main economic indicator of a nation. Per capita GDP is a social indicator that aims to measure the average income of a nation's population. Per capita GDP calculation consists of simply dividing the GDP value by the total population of a nation.

Per capita GDP indicates the average income of a country, but it is not a good indicator for income distribution. This is because a country may have a high middle income and be very unequal. This will happen if income is concentrated in the hands of a small number of people. This would not be captured by GDP per capita, as this indicator only adds GDP and divides by the total number of people, without any weighting of the distribution of wealth. To determine income distribution, economists use other indicators such as the HDI and the Gini index.

The GDP per capita calculates what theoretically would be the share of every individual in the country if the GDP was destributed equally. The economy of course is very different in reality where everyone ends up with a different portion depending on a lot of other factors.

The computation of the amount of manufacturing overhead is shown below:

= Predetermined overhead rate per direct labor-hour × total direct labor-hours

= $22.20 × 12,600 direct labors

= $279,720

Since the predetermined overhead rate is already given in the question, so there is no need to recalculate it and the other items which are mentioned are not relevant for the computation part. Hence, ignored it

Len [333]

Answer:

The correct answer is: Is it balanced?

Explanation:

This question based on ethics would be the most appropriate to assess these situations. Because when you confront your friend that it would not be fair and ethical for him to share an article written by him to be used as if you had written it, he responds to you with behavior that you consider unethical, but in these situations there is no balance comparison, as they are different situations.

Ethical issues seek to solve conflicting problems and dilemmas.

The yield to maturity (YTM) on 1-year zero-coupon bonds is 8% and the YTM on 2-year zeros is 9%. The yield to maturity on 2-year

yarga [219]

Answer:

Arbitrage opportunity may exists as the ZCBs selling at different price at same time due to change in their YTM .

The PV of 100 face value zcb with different ytm are different , in this case.

for one year maturity with face value 100 current price = fv/ pv at 8% = 92.59

for Two year maturity with face value 100 current price = fv / Pv at 9% for two years = 84.167 , if the bond holder sell the bond after 1 year only, the price = 91.74 .

a) The arbitrage opportunity exist with buy two bond with face value 100 with maturity of 1 year and face value 110 with maturity of 2 years.

b) profit 0.01 , as difference between PV of both bond at their YTM rate.

iris [78.8K]

Answer:

Increase in money supply = $200,000

Explanation:

Note: The given question is incomplete, missing part is as follow:

Metropolis National Bank

Balance sheet

Assets Liabilities

Reserves $60,000 Deposits $500,000

Loans $440,000

Computation:

Excess reserve hold = 2% × Deposits

Excess reserve hold = 2% × $500,000

Excess reserve hold = $10,000

Required reserve = Reserves - Excess reserve hold

Required reserve = $60,000 - $10,000

Required reserve = $50,000

So,

Required reserve ratio = [$50,000 / $500,000]100 = 10%

Multiplier(K) = 1 / Required reserve ratio

Multiplier(K) = 1 / 10%

Multiplier(K) = 10

Total Money = Person deposit + Excess reserve hold

Total Money = $10,000 + $10,000

Total Money = $20,000

Increase in money supply = Total Money × Multiplier(K)

Increase in money supply = $20,000 × 10

Increase in money supply = $200,000

gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

Results are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Selling price= $244

Unitary variable cost= 195 - 8= $187

Fixed costs= 327,600 + 37,000= $364,600

We need to determine the new pre-tax income:

Sales= 244*10,000= 2,440,000

Total variable cost= 187*10,000= (1,870,000)

Total contribution margin= 570,000

Fixed costs= (364,600)

Pre-tax income= 205,400
