Answer:

Real GDP will decrease by $50 billion.

Explanation:

In order to calculate the net effect of a reduction in consumption of $10 billion, we need to identify the multiplier first.

Multiplier = 1 / marginal propensity to save

Marginal propensity = 1 - marginal propensity to consume = 1-0.8 = 0.2

Multiplier = 1 /0.2 = 5

The net change then of a reduction by 10 billion = 10 * 5 = $50 billion

Hope that helps.

kondaur [170]

Answer:

$38,100 ; $45,600 and $0

Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

For amount transferred from the income summary account to the Retained Earnings account in the third closing entry i.e net income or net loss

As we know that

Net income = Total revenues - total expenses

Commission revenue $49,700

Rent revenue $7,300

Less: expenses

Depreciation expense - $5,200

Utilities expense -$8,600

Supplies expense -$5,100

Net income $38,100

The balance in retained earning account is

= Opening retained earning balance + net income - dividend paid

= $22,500 + $38,100 - $15,000

= $45,600

And, the balance in depreciation expense account is zero as this depreciation expense account is closed while closing the expenses account i.e utilities expense, supplies expense and depreciation expenses

How do patents encourage technological progress
Setler79 [48]
Patents are used to balance the right of the individual with the concept of the public good. In general, the purpose of a patent is two-fold: to allow the inventor of some new thing to retain exclusive rights as to its use for a limited period of time, and after that time to ensure that the details of the invention are available for public use. 
By granting the patent-holder exclusive rights to their invention, use and duplication of the invention is at the sole discretion of the inventor, potentially allowing them to profit from it. However, after a period of time those exclusive rights cease to apply, and the new invention becomes available to the public. This contributes to the public good by increasing the amount of general knowledge available.
