Answer:
it does not measure quality-of-life factors ; it does not account for distribution of wealth ; it fails to measure non monetary (home production) activities
Explanation:
Real GDP is the total value of goods & services produced in an economy, during a period of time. But it is not correct measure of welfare level.
- It does not measure non monetary production, like hobby production eg kitchen gardening, self made paintings, music. But, they increase welfare
- It does not take into consideration the qualitative factors affecting welfare like pollution, crime & literacy. Externalities cause extra benefit or harm to welfare level, but are excluded from GDP.
- Inequitable distribution of per capita (average) GDP increases rich poor standard of living divide. So, the distribution effect ignored make GDP an inapt measure of average welfare level.
Real GDP adjusts the value of goods & services for price change (Inflation), it is a correct measure of increase in real flow of goods & services. GDP & health positive correlation is a favouring point for GDP as a measure of welfare. So, these options are incorrect.

Answer:
1. Why is this an operating lease for Child Company?
The life of the asset is 10 years while the lease is only 3 years long, so it cannot be classified as a financial lease.
2. What are the amounts of the right-of-use asset and lease liability that Child Company should report on its balance sheet at December 31, 20X1?
annual lease payment = $128,000 (ordinary annuity)
PVIFA, 9%, 3 periods = 2.5313
present value = $128,000 x 2.5313 = $324,006.40
3. How much lease expense should Child Company recognize in 20X1?
lease expense = PV of lease x interest rate = $324,006.40 x 9% = $29,160.58
A corn farmer is considered a free rider if he chooses not to join the national interest group his fellow farmers created, yet still reaps the benefits of the tax incentives the group lobbied for and won.
The free rider problem is an economic concept of a market failure that occurs when people or individuals are benefiting from resources, goods or services that they do not pay for. In our case, the corn farmer is benefiting from the tax incentives the group lobbied for, yet he or she made zero input or effort to contribute to the groups agenda in getting tax incentives. <span />
