Answer:
1) Real GDP = Base year price X Current year quantity
Real GDP for 2009 using 2009 as base year = 5 X 100 + 40 X 20 = 500 + 800 = 1300
2) Real GDP for 2009 using 2010 as base year = 5.25 X 100 + 24 X 20 = 525 + 480 = 1005
3) Real GDP for 2010 using 2009 as base year = 5 X 110 + 40 X 30 = 550 + 1200 = 1750
4) Real GDP for 2010 using 2010 as base year = 5.25 X 110 + 24 X 30 = 577.5 + 720 = 1297.5
5) GDP growth rate using 2009 as base year = (Real GDP for 2010 - Real GDP for 2009)/Real GDP for 2009 X 100
= (1750 - 1300)/1300 X 100 = 450/13 = 34.61
6) GDP growth rate using 2010 as base year = (1297.5 - 1005)/1005 X 100 = 29.10
7) Arithmetic average of growth rates = (34.61 + 29.10)/2 = 63.71/2 = 31.85
Answer:
$57.20
Explanation:
Total unit cost = $19 + $7 + $2 + $4 + $5 + $7 = $44
Target selling price = Total unit cost × (1 + Markup)
Since markup percentage is 30%, or 0.3, we therefore have:
Target selling price = $44 × (1 + 0.3) = $57.20
Therefore, the target selling price is $57.20.
Answer:
a. - $3,100
b. $17,300
Explanation:
Changes in working capital = (ending balance of current assets - ending balance of current liabilities) - (beginning balance of current assets - beginning balance of current liabilities)
where,
Beginning current assets = Account receivable + inventory
= $25,200 + $12,600
= $37,800
Ending current assets = Account receivable + inventory
= $23,600 + $13,700
= $37,300
And, the current liabilities is given
= ($37,300 - $17,700) - ($37,800 - $15,100)
= $19,600 - $22,700
= - $3,100
b. The computation of the cash flow is shown below:
= Sales - costs + decrease in accounts receivable - increase in inventory + increase in accounts payable
= $36,600 - $24,600 + $1,600 - $1,100 + $2,600
= $17,300
The decrease and increase in current assets and liabilities shows a difference between the beginning and ending year amounts
Answer: B) because if you stay on on track with the money you spend then you can live a good life.
Answer:
1) Option A. differences in values
2) Option C. Tariffs and import quotas generally reduce economic welfare
Explanation:
1) Difference in values which can also be called value conflicts are due to variations in belief systems. I.e. when the belief systems of two groups do not allign. While Antonio believes that government programmes should be reduced because they cause more harm than good, Caroline is of the opinion that despite the inefficiency of government programmes, they are still necessary for the less fortunate. This disagreement is as a result of value conflict.
2) Both economists agree on the inefficiency of government programmes. The focal point of Caroline's argument is that government's intervention in the economy is needed for the less fortunate. Based on this premise, two economies chosen at random will most likely agree to the proposition that tariffs and import quotas generally reduce economic welfare.
