Answer:

The structural budget in 2008 is $350 billion

Explanation:

Actual deficit = Government spending - Tax Revenue Collection

i.e Actual deficit = G-T

T = (Tax rate) (Actual output)

$500 billion = G - (0.15)($16 trillion)

$500 billion = G - 2400 billion

G =  $500 billion + 2400 billion

G =  $2900 billion

Thus, Government spending is $2900 billion

Structural deficit = G - T'

T' = (Tax rate)(Potential output)

T' = (0.15)(17000 billion)

T' = $2550 billion

Structural deficit = G - T'

Structural deficit = $2900 billion - $2550 billion

Structural deficit = $350 billion

Thus, the structural budget in 2008 is $350 billion

Cr Cash                                                                                 $53,000

tatiyna

Answer:

B) countries with higher GDP per person tend to have healthier environments.

Explanation:

According to the 2020 Environmental Performance Index (EPI) elaborated by Yale and Columbia universities, a strong positive correlation exists between high GDP per capita and healthier environments. There are a few exceptions to this correlation, in Asian (especially Arab) countries where GDP per capita might be high, but the vast majority of income is received by a vary small number of people. But in the rest of the world, a high GDP per capita generally results in healthier environments.

Jackie has been offered positions by two cable companies. the first company pays a salary of $14,000 plus a commission of $100 f
masha68 [24]

The correct answer is 80 cable packages.

The following equation will solve this problem, where x equals the number of cable packages.

14,000 + 100x = 20,000 + 25x

First, subtract 25x from both sides:

14,000 + 75x = 20,000

Next, subtract 14,000 from both sides;

75x = 6,000

Finally, divide both sides by 75.

X = 80

Therefore, the answer is 80 cable packages.

Cardinal Industries purchased a generator that cost $11,000. It has an estimated life of five years and a residual value of $1,0
Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

$2080

Explanation:

Given: Cost of generator= $11000.

           Residual value= $1000.

            Estimated life of generator= 5000 hours.

            Actual activity performed during the period= 1040 hours.

Now, finding the depreciation expense for the first year using the units-of-activity method.

Formula; Depreciation\ expense= \frac{(cost- residual\ value)}{Total\ estimated\ life\ time\ activity} \times actual\ activity\ performed

⇒ Depreciation expense= \frac{(11000-1000)}{5000} \times 1040

Opening parenthesis

⇒  Depreciation expense= \frac{10000}{5000} \times 1040

⇒  Depreciation expense=  2 \times 1040 = \$ 2080

Hence, the depreciation expense for the first year using the units-of-activity method of depreciation is $2080.
