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.

Which of the following statements represent a weakness or limitation of ratio analysis? Check all that apply. A firm may operate

Art [367]

Answer: A firm may operate in multiple industries.

Different firms may use different accounting practices.

Explanation:

Ratio Analysis as you probably know is a very useful tool in financial analysis. It works by comparing ratios based on items in the financial statements of a company to measure certain things such as the Company's Liquidity, Profitability and the like.

It does have certain drawbacks though such as,

A firm may operate in multiple industries

When a firm is operating in multiple industries. Comparing ratios is not a simple task. Different industries record profits and costs differently and just because a ratio is held in high esteem on one company does not mean it is good in another thereby making comparison based on ratios alone quite cumbersome.

Different firms may use different accounting practices

Now if different companies use different Accounting practices, you might find that ratios cannot be straightforwardly compared because different types of figures were used by the different companies. For instance, some companies might use a Straight Line Depreciation method as opposed to a Reducing Balance method which will have varying effects on income.

Company X wants to borrow $10,000,000 floating for 5 years. Company Y wants to borrow $10,000,000 fixed for 5 years. Their exter

CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

The answer is:

10% fixed rate = Company X's external borrowing (rate);

11.8% fixed rate = Company Y's payment to X (rate);

LIBOR + 1.5% = Company X's payment to Y (rate);

LIBOR + 1.5% = Company Y's external borrowing rate.

Explanation:

First, X will borrow at 10% fixed and Y will borrow at LIBOR + 1.5% floating; both at notational principal of $10 million.

Then; they will enter into a interest swap where:

- X will pay to the swap the interest rate of Libor +1.5% and receive from the swap the fixed interest rate of 11.8%. Thus, X interest income and interest expenses will be: Borrowed at fixed 10% and payment at Libor+1.5% to the swap; Receipt of 11.8% from the Swap=> Net effect: X borrowed at LIBOR - 0.3% ( saving of 0.3%).

- Y will pay to the swap the fixed interest rate 11.8% and receive from the swap LIBOR +1.5%. Thus, Y interest income and interest expenses will be: Borrowed at LIBOR +1.5 and payment 11.8% fixed to the swap; Receipt of Libor + 1.5% from Bthe Swap=> Net effect: Y borrowed at 11.8% fixed ( saving of 0.2%).

Suppose we have the following scenario:

Marat540 [252]

Answer:

b. $300 billion.

Explanation:

Data provided in the question

Multiplier = 1.7

Tax rate = 20%

Increase in spending = $300

Total deficit = $1 trillion

Based on the above information, the deficit that arises from the increase in spending should be $300 billion as it is financed by the government that results in budget deficit

Hence, the correct option is B. $300 billion
