<span>First and foremost, it should be understood that Okun's Law is an empirical observation. The law is founded in a perceived relationship between gdp and unemployment. In this sense, Okun's Law is an approximation and not rightly a Law derived from theory.
There is some debate as to how much of a decrease in gdp actually occurs from an increase in unemployment, but two leading figures have offered estimations. Martin Prachowny gives the ratio 3:1, such that for every 1% increase in unemployment, a country's gdp drops by 3%. Ben Bernake more recently has offered a revised estimation, placing it closer to 2:1.
Therefore, to find the inverse, a country's GDP would have to grow by 2-3% in order to reduce unemployment by 1%.</span>

Preparation of the journal entries to record annual pension expense for the enterprise fund of Amherst City
Since we are Assuming that the plan investments was $184,300 while the service cost component is the sum of $245,000, and interest on the pension liability is the sum of $166,400 for the year this means the Journal entries to record annual pension expense for the enterprise fund of Amherst City will be:
Dr Service cost 245,000
Cr Interest 166,400
Cr Cash 411,400
(245,000+166,400)
Dr Plan assets - pension 411,400
(245,000+166,400)
Cr Service cost 245,000
Cr Interest 166,400
Answer:
Total cash= $265,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Sales:
July $200,000
August $300,000
September $250,000.
40% of the sales are for cash, and 60 percent are on credit. For the credit sales, 50 percent are collected in the month of sale and 50 percent the next month.
We need to determine the cash collection for September:
Cash collection:
Sales in cash September= 250,000*0.4= 100,000
Sales on account September= (250,000*0.6)*0.5= 75,000
Sales on account August= (300,000*0.6)*.5= 90,000
Total cash= $265,000
