Answer:
20 years (scenario A) and 16 years (scenario B)
Explanation:
The real GDP will double in "n" number of years, with "n" estimated by interpolation using the formula below.
In the solutions below, we assumed current GDP to be 1, and as a result, the GDP will double to 2.
Scenario A
When you substitute 20 for "n" in the left hand side (LHS) of the equation, you will arrive at 1.99 which is approximately equal to 2. Any number below 20 will result in a number less than 2.
Thus, with an average annual real GDP growth rate of 3.5%, real GDP will double in about 20 years.
Scenario B
When you substitute 16 for "n" in the left hand side (LHS) of the equation, you will arrive at 2.02 which is approximately equal to 2. Any number below 16 will result in a number less than 2.
Thus, with an average annual real GDP growth rate of 4.5%, real GDP will double in about 16 years.
Answer:
The amount of depreciation expense the lessee should record for the first year of the lease is $108,000
Explanation:
To calculate the depreciation expense for each year the first thing you have to do is to substruct from the initial value the fair value at the end fo the lease, obtaining this way the depreciable amount.
For this case it would be:
$810,000 - $270,000= $540,000
Then you have to divide the depreciable amount by the years of the term the lease.
$540,000/5= $108,000
Answer:
Total cash= $265,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Sales:
July $200,000
August $300,000
September $250,000.
40% of the sales are for cash, and 60 percent are on credit. For the credit sales, 50 percent are collected in the month of sale and 50 percent the next month.
We need to determine the cash collection for September:
Cash collection:
Sales in cash September= 250,000*0.4= 100,000
Sales on account September= (250,000*0.6)*0.5= 75,000
Sales on account August= (300,000*0.6)*.5= 90,000
Total cash= $265,000
Answer:
Limited natural resources such as infertile land and lack of coastal access can limit economic growth for a country.
Explanation:
Natural resources are a source of wealth for the country. Mineral such oil and precious stones have made nations wealthy.
Land is a factor of production. Lack of fertile lands will make a nation dependent on imports for its food security. Access to coastal areas facilitates cheaper and fast international trade. Landlocked countries use harbor of other nations for global business. Goods and services from landlocked counties may be more expensive as a result of high transport costs.
B. Ordering programs for a high school musical.
Each of the other answer choices requires an exact number because there are laws regarding paying yearly taxes based on exact income, a cashier will only sell you a meal for exactly the amount that they want to charge, and the maximum number of basketball players allowed on the court is standardized through rules for playing the game. Ordering programs can be an estimate.
