Which of the following statements is CORRECT?

16. GDP Growth Consider the following data on U.S. GDP: Year GDP (Billions of current dollars) (Billions of 2009 dollars) 2011 1

dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

The percentage change in nominal GDP from 2013 to 2014 was 4.29%

The percentage change in real GDP from 2012 to 2013 was 1.48%

The percentage change in real GDP from 2012 to 2013 was higher than the percentage change in real GDP from 2011 to 2012. FALSE

Explanation:

In order to calculate this we just have to calculate the percentages with a rule of thirds:

$\frac{GDP1}{100}= \frac{GDP2}{x}$

To calculate the first one we use the nominal GDP which is the GDP with the current market value:

$\frac{GDP1}{100}= \frac{GDP2}{x}\\\frac{16,663.2}{100}= \frac{17,348.1 }{x}\\x=\frac{(100)(17,348.1}{16,663.2} \\x=4.29%$

To calculate the change in real GDP we use the values adapted to a pre-agreed monetary value, in this case the dollar at 2009:

$\frac{GDP1}{100}= \frac{GDP2}{x}\\\frac{15,354.6}{100}= \frac{15,583.3}{x}\\x=\frac{(100)(15,583.3}{15,354.6} \\x=1.48%$

To calculate the 2011 to 2012 we insert the values:

$\frac{GDP1}{100}= \frac{GDP2}{x}\\\frac{ 15,020.6}{100}= \frac{15,354.6}{x}\\x=\frac{(100)(15,354.6}{ 15,020.6} \\x=2.22%$

So with this we know that it is wasn´t higher the percentage change from 2012-2013, than that of 2011-2012

Activity-Based Costing: Selling and Administrative Expenses

lutik1710 [3]

Answer:

a) Total Sales order $60,000 and total Shipping is $28,000

b) Per unit sales order processing cost = $2.18 and shipping activity cost per walking shoe = $1.02

Explanation:

The question is divided into two parts

Part 1 ) Determine the Total Activity Cost as follows

Activity Order Rate Total (Order x rate)

Sales Order Processing 5000 orders $12/order $60,000

Shipping 1400 shipments $20/shipmt $28,000

Total $88,000

Part 2)

a) Per-unit sales order processing cost

What is the sales order activity cost $60,000 and the number of walking shoes =27,500

Therefore Per unit cost = $60,000 / 27,500 = $2.18 per unit

b) Shipping activity cost per walking shoes

Shipping cost = $28,000 and the number of shoes 27,500

Per Unit Cost of shipping = $28,000/27,500 = $1.02 per unit

The total Activity cost therefore is $2.18 + $1.02 = $3.20

During 2019 the Barker Company had a net income of $75,000. Below is information taken from Barker’s last two balance sheets: 20

Kitty [74]

Answer:

cash provided by operating activities 84,000

Explanation:

net income 75,000

Adjustment (A)

gain on land (500)

depreciation 1,500

Adjusted net income 76,000

Change in working capital

↑account receivable (3,000) (B)

↓long term AR 10,000 (C)

↑Account payable 1,000 (D)

Net changes 8,000

cash provided by operating activities 84,000

<u>Notes:</u>

(A)

The net income may have non-monetary term, we need to remove those to get and adjusted net income on a cash basis

the gain on land is not a monetary term. We will record the proceeds in cash for the sale under investment activities, not operating as the business is not selling land every year.

depreciation is an accounting metric, is not an actual expense, it doesn't involve cash.

(B)

the increasein the Ar means more sales were not collected therefore, less cash collected.

(C)

the decrease in the long term AR represent the collection, so it increases the cash

(D)

the increase in account payable represent the delay of payment, so company has more cash available.
