Answer:

(a) Product approach;

The value of Firm A’s production 50,000 *$3=$150,000.

The value of Firm B’s production 50,000 * $2= $100,000.

Firm B pays $60,000 to firm A for 20,000 bushels of wheat, which is an intermediate input. Firm B’s value added is therefore $40,000. GDP is therefore equal to $190,000.

(b) Expenditure approach:

Consumers buy 50,000*$2/loaf and 15,000*$1/loaf.

Consumption spending is therefore equal to $100,000 + $15,000 = $115,000.

Firm A adds 5,000 bushels* $3= $15,000.

Firm A exports 25,000 * $3= $75,000.

Consumers import 15,000 * $1=$15,000.

Net exports are equal to $75,000- $15,000 = $60,000. There is no government spending. GDP is equal to consumption ($115,000) plus 3 investment ($15,000) plus net exports ($60,000). G

DP =$190,000.

Firm A pays $50,000 in wages+ Firm B pays $20,000 in wages= $70,000. Firm A produce $150,000 - $50,000 in wages=. $100,000 profits.

Firm B produces $100,000 -$20,000 in wages- $60,000 to Firm A for wheat=$20,000 profits

Total profit income in the economy equals $100,000+ $20, 000 = $120,000. Total wage income ($70,000) plus profit income ($120,000) equals $190,000. GDP is therefore $190,000.

Suppose that Spain and Sweden both produce fish and wine. Spain's opportunity cost of producing a bottle of wine is 4 pounds of

Darya [45]

Answer:

A) 9 Pounds of Fish Per Bottle of Wine

Explanation:

A few things should be explained

1. Opportunity Cost - this is the benefit or value of the next best choice that has to be sacrificed when a choice is made between several alternatives.

2. Comparative Advantage: This describes the advantage when a business, individual or even a nation is able to maunfacture a good or offer a service at an opportunity cost that is lower than other competitors in the business. It simply means the ability to produce a good or service at a cost cheaper than one's competitors.

Step 1: By comparing the opportunity cost of producing wine in the two countries, you can tell that Spain (ability to produce a bottle for 4 pounds of fish as compard to 10 pounds by Sweden) has a comparative advantage in the production of wine

Also Comparing the opportunity cost of wine as well, Sweden has the comparative advantage in the production of fish (10 pounds of fish as compared to 3 pounds that can be produced by Spain for a bottle of while).

Step 2: The Trading of wine and fish between Spain and Sweden

a) as long as Spain is able to get more than 4 pounds of fish (what it can produce) for every exported bottle of wine, then it can gain from a trade with Sweden.

b) Also , as long as Sweden is able to receive more than 1/10 bottles of wine for each pound of fish it exports to Spain, it can gain from the specialization and trade.

Step 3: Prices of trade (of wine in terms of fish) will allow both Sweden and Spain gain from Trade.

The correct answer is 9 Pounds of Fish per bottle of Wine. This is correct because Spain can get more than the minimum 4 pounds of fish it needs and Sweden can receive more than 1/10 the bottles of wine it needs to make a gain.

A produce distributor uses 774 packing crates a month, which it purchases at a cost of $12 each. The manager has assigned an ann

ki77a [65]

Answer:

$444.42

Explanation:

For computing the saving amount, first need to calculate the economic order quantity, total cost etc

The economic order quantity is

$= \sqrt{\frac{2\times \text{Annual demand}\times \text{Ordering cost}}{\text{Carrying cost}}}$

where,

Annual demand is

= 774 packaging crates × 12 months

= 9,932 crates

And, the carrying cost is

= $12 × 34%

= $4.08

$= \sqrt{\frac{2\times \text{9,288}\times \text{\$29}}{\text{\$4.08}}}$

= 363.37 crates

Now the total cost is

= Annual ordering cost + Annual carrying cost

= Annual demand ÷ Economic order quantity × ordering cost per order + Economic order quantity ÷ 2 × carrying cost per unit

= 9,288 ÷ 363 × $29 + 363 ÷ 2 × $4.08

= $742.02 + $740.52

= $1,482.54

Now the total cost in case of 774 packing crates is

= Annual ordering cost + Annual carrying cost

= Annual demand ÷ Economic order quantity × ordering cost per order + Economic order quantity ÷ 2 × carrying cost per unit

= 9,288 ÷ 774 × $29 + 774 ÷ 2 × $4.08

= $348 + $1,578.96

= $1,926.96

So, the annual saving cost is

= $1,926.96 - $1,482.54

= $444.42

Brad owns a small townhouse complex that generates a loss during the year.

My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

a. Brad might be allowed to deduct up to $25,000

or Brad may be allowed to deduct the loss if he works more than 750 hours as a material participant in connection with the townhouse complex and more than half of personal service.

b. The reduction is equal to 50% of AGI in excess of $100,000. The deduction will be phased out completely if AGI reaches $25,000

Explanation:

Adjusted Gross Income is the final taxable income after all the allowable deductions are adjusted in the income. A tax payer can deduct up to $25,000 for the passive losses. This is standard deduction which Brad can deduct from the income.
