Answer:

$100,000 is accounted in first quarter GDP as change in inventory

Explanation:

Changes in inventory is accounted in the current period GDP as it is an investment. It is a part of gross private investment of GDP. Changes in inventory happens when closing inventory differs from opening inventory.

When sales are more than goods produced, it indicates that the company has purchased its own inventory for investment purpose.

In this case $100,000 inventory in quarter 1 would be included in quarter 1 GDP as part of private investment.

Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

The correct answer is A: interest= $21048

Explanation:

An amortization schedule is a complete table of periodic loan payments, showing the amount of principal and the amount of interest that comprise each payment until the loan is paid off at the end of its term. While each periodic payment is the same amount early in the schedule, the majority of each payment is interest; later in the schedule, the majority of each payment covers the loan's principal.

Each payment is the same ($49,148), but the proportions of interest and capital pay changes. The interest proportion decreases from pay to pay.

Loan= 186000

i= 15%

n= 6 years

First pay:

i=186000*0,15=27900

amortization= 49148-27900=21248

Second pay:

i=(186000-21248)*0,15=24712

amort=49148-24712=24436

Third pay:

i=(164752-24436)*0,15=21048

amort=49148-21048=28100

While payments progress, interest decreases and amortization increases.

The Warren Watch Company sells watches for $21, fixed costs are $180,000, and variable costs are $15 per watch.
enyata [817]

Answer:

  • 5,000 watches : $150,000  loss
  • 20,000 watches:  $60,000  (Loss)
  • Break-even point = 30,000  units
  • if the selling price rises to 32  = break even points descends to 10,588 units
  • If the selling price rises to $32 but variable costs rises to $26  , the break even point goes back to 30,000units.

Explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to apply the next formula:

Profit = Revenue -cost

Where the revenue is equal to the units sold (x) multiplied by the selling price,

R = 21 x  

And cost is equal to the sum of the fixed and variable costs.

C = 15x + 1800

So:

P = 21x-(15x +180,000)

P = x ( 21-15)- 180,000

  • For 5,000 watches:

P = 5000(21-15)-180,000

P = 5000(6) -180,000

P= 30,000-180,000

P=-$150,000  (loss , since is negative )

  • For 20,000 watches:

P = 20,000(6) -180,000

P = 120,000-180,000

P=-$60,000  (Loss)

  • To find the break even point:

R = C

21x = 15x + 180,000

21x-15x =180,000

6 x = 180,000

x = 180,000/6

x =30,000  units

  • if the selling price rises to 32

32x = 15x + 180,000

32x-15x = 180,000

17x =180,000

x = 180,000/17

x = 10,588 units

It descends,

  • If the selling price rises to $32 but variable costs rises to $26  

32x = 26x+180,000

32x-26x = 180,000

6x = 180,000

x = 180,000/6

x =30,000

The break-even point comes back to 30,000 units.
