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.

Answer:

Vault-Tec's break-even level of sales ==$3,000,000

Explanation:

Break-even point is the level of activity at which a firm must operate such that its total revenue will equal its total costs. At this point, the company makes no profit or loss.

It is calculated using this formula:

Break-even point (sales) = Fixed cost/c/s ratio.

c/s means contribution to sales ratio

C/s ratio = (sales - variable cost)/sales

C/S is the proportion of sales value that is earned as contribution. its is sales less variable costs.

So if for an instance, variable costs are 60% of sales, then contribution will be 40% of sales i.e (100-60)% .

Now we can apply these concepts to our questions:

c/s =( 100-75)% = 25%

Break-even point( sales) = (1,000,000- 250,000)/25%

= 750,000/0.25

=$3,000,000

Note that depreciation is excluded from the fixed costs because it is a non-cash flow item.

A) Capital inflow.

<h3>The inflow of capital: What is it?</h3>

Net purchases of domestic assets by non-residents, or the difference between purchases and sells, are referred to as capital inflows. Net foreign asset purchases by domestic agents, excluding the central bank, equal net capital outflows. The total of foreign direct investment into the domestic economy, portfolio investment obligations, and other investment liabilities is known as capital inflows. Capital inflows to developing nations increased dramatically in the early 1990s. Direct and portfolio investments were sparked by interest in nations with developing financial markets. The influxes were welcomed since they gave investors more chances for international diversification and helped developing nations finance domestic projects.
