frosja888 [35]

Answer:

Answer is option b, i.e. purchase of natural gas by U.S. households.

Explanation:

Consumption component of U.S. GDP includes purchase of various durable goods, non-durable goods, and also various intangible services. But anything that is purchased as a means of investment rather than for personal consumption is not regarded as consumption component in GDP. Here, purchase of newly constructed houses is an asset and thus, is not included in these components. Similarly, purchase made for business purposes is also excluded from the list of consumption components.

Explanation:

the missing options are:

a. Considered sunk costs, not relevant in further decision making
b. Considered sunk costs, but still relevant in further decision making
c. Considered a loss
d. Considered a profit

After the investment in new technology has been made, it will be considered a sunk cost, because they are no longer relevant or important when considering or evaluating future investments and projects. Sunk costs are expenses that have already been made and incurred, and cannot be recouped.

Ming Company had net income of $772,200 based on variable costing. Beginning and ending inventories were 7,800 units and 5,200 u

Otrada [13]

Answer:

$764,400

Explanation:

Given that,

Net income under variable costing = $772,200

Beginning inventories = 7,800 units

Ending inventories = 5,200 units

Fixed overhead per unit = $3

Net income under absorption costing:

= Net income under variable costing - [(Beginning inventories - Ending inventories) × Fixed overhead per unit]

= $772,200 - [(7,800 - 5,200) × $3]

= $772,200 - $7,800

= $764,400

andre [41]

Answer:

Stock Worth Today: $3,71 + $10,93 = $14,64

Stock Worth Today: Present Value (3 Next Years) + Present Value (Perpetuity)

Explanation:

We need to apply two financial methods to find the value of the shares today.

First, the Present value formula for the next 3 years, and for the rest we apply the Perpetuity formula, then to the result of Perpetuity we apply the Present Value because it's expressed in values of Year 4.

Present Value Formula : C/(1+r)^t to each cash dividends each year.

Perpetuity Formula : Dividend / r

PV of the perpetuity = Periodic cash inflow/ Interest rate

Perpetuity = 1,60/ interest rate

Perpetuity = 1,60/ 0,10

Perpetuity = $16

The Perpetuity it's expressed at the moment of Year 4, we need to discount the Perpetuity to the current time:

Present Value Formula : C/(1+r)^t = 16/(1,10)^4 = $10,93

PV of the the next 3 years dividends.

Present Value = 1,45/(1+0,1)^1 + 1,50/(1+0,1)^2 + 1,53/(1+0,1)^3

Present Value = 1,32 + 1,24 + 1,15

Present Value = $3,71
