Business
1 answer:

Answer:

GDP is an imperfect measure of Economic well being because of : Production of  - Non Monetary Exchange goods , Positive & Negative Externalities goods, Negative Impact goods.

Explanation:

GDP is the total value of goods & services produced by an economy during a period of time.

Although reflecting flow of goods & services in an economy, GDP is still not a perfect measure of well being because :

  • Non Monetary Exchange Goods : Services of family members (housewives), leisure production (eg painting) are non monetary.
  • Positive & Negative Externalities Goods: Benefit or harm to un-involved party, without any monetary exchange. Eg - Education, Pollution.
  • Negative Impact Goods : Goods consumption leading to well being loss rather than well being gain. Eg- Addiction (Alcohol / Smoking).

All these goods change well being : Non Monetary Exchange Goods increase well being , Positive Externalities increase welfare , Negative Externalities decrease welfare , Negative Impact goods decrease welfare.

But, these are still not included in GDP evaluation. So, all these make GDP an imperfect measure of well being.

Lelu [443]

Let's assume that Atlantis has 140 million adult residents. If there are 90 million employed people and 10 million unemployed people, that leaves 40 million people out of the labor force.

What does the term "labor force" mean?

All people who meet the criteria for inclusion among the employed or unemployed make up the labor force, also known as the population that is currently engaged in labor-force activities. The term "employed" refers to people who work for pay or profit at least one hour per week or who hold a job but are momentarily off the clock due to illness, vacation, or a strike. The armed forces include anyone who served in the armed forces during the time in question, whether they were stationed in the metropolitan territory or elsewhere, and was selected from the pool of all workers available.

Angelo invested $4,000 into two accounts. One account paid 4% interest and the other paid 9% interest. He earns 6% interest on t
inn [45]

Answer:

$2,400 was placed in the account earning 4%, and $1,600 was placed in the account earning 9%

Explanation:

In this case, we have two unknowns, so in order to be solved, we need to find two equations.

We know that amount 1, that we call x, plus amount 2, we call y, is 4000.  

<em>x + y = 4000</em>

Also we know, when we add the interest earned on amount 1 to the interest earned on amount 2, the total interest is 6% of 4000, it means: 240

<em>0.04x+0.09y=240</em>

So, we have two equations with two unknowns

<em>x + y = 4000</em>

<em>0.04x+0.09y=240</em>

That we can solve for any method we know. We will use substitution.  Lets clear from first equation the unknown x.

x=4000-y

Then, we substitute in second equation

0.04(4000-y)+0.09y=240

And we solve:

160-0.04y+0.09y=240

0.05y=240-160

y=80/0.05=1600

Now we simply plug this into our first equation and solve for x

x+y=4000

x+1600=4000

x=4000-1600

x=2400

So, $2,400 was placed in the account earning 4%, and $1,600 was placed in the account earning 9%
