Helen [10]

Answer:

- $1,099,890 billion.

Explanation:

Marginal propensity to consume (MPC) = 0.990

Tax multiplier = - MPC ÷ (1 - MPC)

= - 0.990 ÷ (1 - 0.990)

change in GDP = Change in taxes × Tax multiplier

= - $1,099,890

the minus sign shows a decrease

Hence, the change in equilibrium GDP is - $1,099,890 billion.

You want to purchase a new condominium that costs $325,000. Your plan is to pay 20 percent down in cash and finance the balance

alekssr [168]

The monthly mortgage payment including principal and interest is $1,936.25

Explanation:

PV = (1 - 0.20) × $325,000 = $260,000‬

r = 0.041 / 12

t = 15 * 12 = 180

$C = \frac{PV}{\frac{1- [\frac{1}{(1+r)^{t} } ] }{r}}$

C = $260,000‬ ÷ [1 - {1 / (1 + 0.041 / 12)∧180} / (0.041 / 12)]

C = $1,936.25

The monthly mortgage payment including principal and interest is $1,936.25

Factory Payroll 21030

Cash 21030

---------------------- - -------------------------------

Goods in process 16200

Factory Overhead 4830

Factory Payroll 21030

---------------------- - -------------------------------

Explanation: The payment of the total labor factory costs must be recorded, we debit the "Factory payroll" cost account and credit the "cash" account as they were paid in cash.

Then we must allocate these costs to the production process, therefore we debit the "goods in process" account for the amount of direct labor consumed, and "factory overhead" for the amount of indirect labor consumed, and finally credit the account " Factory payroll " for the total.
