Answer:

<h2>Spending on infrastructure projects is an example of <u>Discretionary Fiscal Policy</u> aimed at increasing real GDP and employment.</h2>

Explanation:

  • A discretionary fiscal policy basically refers to the manipulation or adjustment of various fiscal instruments by the government such as public taxes and government spending.
  • The aim of discretionary fiscal policy is to adjust the overall macroeconomic condition in any country based on the existing or current situation or scenario.

statuscvo [17]

Answer:

B) The increased title sales will offset advertising costs.

Explanation:

I solved this using an elimination process, since we can infer:

  • that customer demand should increase due to the new advertising campaign.
  • the sales of the new title should help increase the total sales volume.
  • since the advertising campaign is about the new title, it sales should be affected by it.
  • hopefully a lot of customers that listen or watch the advertising campaign will buy the new title.

The only thing that we are not given any information about is the cost of the advertising campaign, so there is no way we can tell if the increased sales will offset the costs.

Assume the demand for crack cocaine is inelastic and that users get the funds to pay for their crack by stealing. Suppose that t
Kobotan [32]

Answer:

Total Revenue of Cocaine will increase.

Explanation:

Elasticity of demand is demand responsiveness to price change.

Price & Total Revenue have relationships as per Elasticity of Demand :

  • Elastic Demand >1 : Change in quantity demanded  >  change in price ; Price & Total Revenue negatively related.
  • Inelastic Demand < 1 : Change in quantity demanded < price change ; Price & Total Revenue positively related

Given : Demand for crack cocaine is inelastic. If government increases penalties on cocaine supply, number of dealers decrease.

Then , the supply of cocaine will fall. Supply Shortage will increase the price. However - because demand is inelastic , total revenue will increase as a result of price rise.

Your shared monthly living expenses (rent + utilities) have been $750 per month, living with three
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

Your shared monthly living expenses (rent + utilities) have been $750 per month, living with three  other students. One of your roommates has to suddenly move out! How much will your share of  the expenses increase to, until you can find a new roommate?​

if $750= 1 month

?= 12 months

then we have; $9000 per year shared by 4 friends

9000/4= $2250 per person in a year and

2250/12= $187.5 per person in a month

If someone left, then we have

$750= 1 month

?= 12 months

$9000/3= $3000 per person in a year

$3000/12= $250 per person in a month

So therefore, the share of expenses monthly increases from $187.5 to $250

On January 1, 2009, Coronado Industries purchased for $690000, equipment having a useful life of ten years and an estimated salv
JulijaS [17]

Answer:

There is not gain in this operation so the answer is $0

Explanation:

There are some journal entries that needs to be done to have a full picture of the statement

* Purchase

Fixed Assets                        690.000

Cash                                                        690.000

* Monthly depreciation

Since, the FA was depreciated during 8 years. Firstly you have to calculate the amount that can be depreciate on a monthly basis

Amount to be depreciated = (Cost of the FA - Salvage value) = (690.000-48.600) = 641.400

Then calculate the yearly depreciation

Yearly depreciation = ((amount to be depreciated/useful life) * years used) =

(641.400/10*8) = 513.120

then the journal entry to record the monthly depreciation for 8 years is

Depreciation expense          513.120

Acc Depreciation                                   513.120

* Post the Journal Entry to record the sell of FA

You have to reverse the Acc Depreciation and credit the FA

Cash                                     152.500

Fixed assets                                         690.000

Acc depreciation                   513.120

Loss on sale of FA                   24.380
