Answer:
The correct answer is $19 trillion
Explanation:
Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is the total market or monetary value of all the goods and services produced by a country within its borders over a given period of time. It is used as a measure of a country's economic health, due to its broad coverage.
The formula for calculating GDP is: GD
P = C + I + G + (
X − M
)
where :
C = private consumption (consumer goods)
I = gross investments (investment goods)
G = government investments or government spending (govt. services)
X = export
M = import
Therefore:
GDP (in trillion) = 10 + 4 + 6 + (4 - 6) = 10 + 10 - 1 = $19 trillion dollars.
Please note that there is the nominal GDP and real GDP.
Nominal GDP is the total value of all the final goods and services a country produces within a year, while real GDP is the value of the goods and services produced within a year, putting inflation effects into account.
Answer:
The beginning inventory was $2000.
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the Cost of Goods sold. The cost of Goods sold is the difference between the Sales and the gross profit. Thus, the cost of goods sold is 16000 - 10000 = $6000
The value of the beginning inventory for the period can be calculated by using the Cost of Goods sold formula. The cost of goods sold is calculated as:
Cost of goods sold = Beginning inventory + Purchases - Closing Inventory
Plugging in the available figures in the formula,
6000 = Beginning Inventory + 8000 - 4000
6000 = Beginning inventory + 4000
6000 - 4000 = Beginning Inventory
Beginning Inventory = $2000
Answer:
$7.23
Explanation:
Basic Earnings per share = (Net Income - Preferred Dividend) / Weighted average of outstanding common shares
Basic Earnings per share = ($7,350,000 - $195,000) / 990,000 shares
Basic Earnings per share = $7,155,000 / 990,000 shares
Basic Earnings per share = 7.22727273
Basic Earnings per share = $7.23
So, the amount of Angel's basic earnings per share for 2021 is $7.23.
1) Town of Bayport:
We have that the residents value the fireworks at
a total of 50+100+300=450$. That is the utility they gain. But they
would also have to pay 360$ for the fireworks. The total outcome is
450$+(-360$)=90$. Hence, the outcome is positive and the fireworks pass
the cost benefit analysis.
If the fireworks' cost is to be split
equally, we have that each of the 3 residents has to pay 360/3=120$. Let
us now do the cost-benefit analysis for everyone.
Jacques stands to gain 50$ from the fireworks but would have to pay 120$. He will vote against it.
Also, Kyoko will gain 100$ but would have to pay 120$. He will lose utility/money from this so he will vote against.
Musashi on the other hand, would gain 300$ and only pay 120$. He is largely benefitted by this measure. Only he would
We have that 2 out of the 3 would vote against the fireworks, so that the fireworks will not be bought. The vote does not yield the same answer as the benefit-cost analysis.
2) Town of River Heights:
We have that the total value of the fireworks to the community
is 20+140+160=320$. The total value of the fireworks is lower than
their cost so their cost benefit analysis yields that they should not be
bought.
However, let's see what each resident says. The cost to each resident is 360/3=120$. Rina is against the fireworks since she will only gain 20$. Sean and Yvette are for the fireworks since they gain 140$ and 160$ respectively, which are larger than the cost of the fireworks to each of them (120$). Hence, 2 will vote for the fireworks and one will vote against and fireworks will be bought.
Again, the vote clashes with the cost-benefit analysis.
3) The first choice is wrong. It is very difficult for a government to provide the exact types of public goods that everyone wants because that would be too costly; one cannot have a public good that everyone pays for so that only a couple of people enjoy it. In our example, we saw that in every case, a public good and its production would have sime supporters and some adversaries.
Majority rule is not always the most efficient way to decide public goods; as we have seen in the second case, the cost-benefit analysis yields that the fireworks are not worth it but they are approved by the majority nonetheless.
The final sentence is correct. The differing preferences of the people make a clearcut choice impossible and the government has to take into account various tradeoffs and compromises in order to determine which public goods to provide.
