Answer:

d. $1,000

Explanation:

Gross domestic product is the sum of all final goods and services produced in an economy within a given period which is usually a year.

GDP = Consumption spending by households on durable and non durable goods and services + Investment spending by businesses + Government Spending + Net Export

Consumption spending = $200 + $200 + $100 = $500

Investment spending = $200 + $(500 - 400) = $300

Government spending = $200 + $100 = $300

Transfer payments aren't included in the calculation of GDP. So, the $200 spent on welfare and unemployment benefits and $300 on social security payments isn't included in the calculation of GDP.

Net export = Export- Import = $400 - $500 = $-100

GDP = $500 + $300 + $300 - $100 = $1000

You want to invest in a project in Canada. The project has an initial cost of C$828,000 and is expected to produce cash inflows
tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

C$24,650

Explanation:

initial cost C$828,000

net cash flows for years 1, 2 and 3 C$355,000

discount rate 12%

the net present value in C$ = C$355,000/1.12 + C$355,000/1.12² + C$355,000/1.12³ - C$828,000 = C$316,964 + C$283,004 + C$252,682 -  C$828,000 = C$24,650

Since we are asked to determine the NPV in Canadian dollars, all we need to do is carry out the same calculations as if they were any other currency. We do not need to make any adjustments due to the exchange rate between US dollars and Canadian dollars.

Desrevisseau Inc., a manufacturing company, has provided the following data for the month of August. The balance in the Work in
Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

B. $130,000

Explanation:

We know,

Cost of goods manufactured = Direct materials + Direct labor + Manufacturing overhead + Beginning work-in-process - Ending work-in-process

Given,

Direct materials = $60,000

Direct labor = $39,000

Manufacturing overhead = $43,000 (As the manufacturing overhead cost applied to work-in-process, so we will take $43,000 instead of $40,000).

Beginning work-in-process = $10,000

Ending work-in-process = $22,000

Putting the information into the above formula, we can get,

Cost of goods manufactured = $60,000 + $39,000 + $43,000 + $10,000 - $22,000

Cost of goods manufactured = $130,000

What is one main feature of the free enterprise system
earnstyle [38]

Answer:

Businesses that produce good products are rewarded with profits

Explanation:

In the free enterprise system, governments do not interfere with economic activities in the country. The private sector does all the production and distribution of goods and services.

No restrictions are put in place on the type or number of businesses that entrepreneurs can operate. Due to this reason, business competition is very intense. Customers choose their preferred products from a wide variety offered by the many suppliers. Producers who make products that satisfy customers' needs are rewarded with profits.
