Answer:

a). Debt service payments=$21.6 billion

b). The nominal deficit=$6.6 billion

c). The government has a real budget surplus of $4.2 billion

Explanation:

a). Determine the debt service payments

The debt service payments can be expressed as;

Debt service payments=Nominal debt×interest rate

where;

nominal debt=$360 billion

interest rate=6%=6/100=0.06

replacing;

Debt service payments=360×0.06=$21.6 billion

Debt service payments=$21.6 billion

b). Determine the nominal deficit or surplus

The nominal deficit can be expressed as;

nominal deficit/surplus=Revenue-(Interest on debt+Government expenditures)

where;

Government expenditures=$145 billion

interest on debt=21.6 billion

revenues=$160 billion

replacing;

nominal deficit/surplus=160-(145+21.6)=160-166.6=-$6.6 billion

The nominal deficit=$6.6 billion

c). Determine the real deficit or surplus

The real deficit/surplus can be expressed as;

real deficit=(inflation×total nominal debt)-nominal deficit

where;

nominal deficit=$6.6 billion

inflation=3%=3/100=0.03

total nominal debt=$360 billion

replacing;

real deficit/surplus=(0.03×360)-6.6=10.8-6.6=$4.2 billion

The government has a real budget surplus of $4.2 billion

Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

The correct answer is A. purchase inventory from vendors

Explanation:

The inventory is a detailed, orderly and valued relationship of the elements that make up the assets of a company or person at a given time. In the past, it was normal for inventories to be carried out by physical means (they were written on paper), but now they are usually kept in databases centrally to an entire company, even if there are companies or small stores that continue doing so with paper.

The inventory is:

  • detailed because the characteristics of each of the elements that make up the heritage are specified.
  • ordered because it groups the assets in their corresponding accounts and the accounts in their assets.
  • valued because the value of each asset is expressed in monetary units.

Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

the  weighted mean price per share is $38.76

Explanation:

The computation of the weighted mean price per share is given below:

= (200 shares × $37 per share + 270 shares × $36 per share + 490 shares × $41 per share) ÷ (200 shares + 270 shares + 490 shares)

= ($7,400 + $9,720 + $20,090) ÷ (960 shares)

= $37,210 ÷ 960 shares

= $38.76

Hence, the  weighted mean price per share is $38.76

alekssr [168]

Answer:

a) Standard WIP      75,000 debit

            factory overhead       75,000 credit

b) applied to deluxe model 28 setups x $   400 = $ 11,200

c) total overhead to deluxe: 35,200

Explanation:

\frac{Cost\: Of \:Manufacturing \:Overhead}{Cost \:Driver}= Overhead \:Rate

expected overhead:       120,000

total labor hours: 375 + 22 = 600

overhead rate: 120,000 / 600 = 200

applied to Standard model: 375 hours x $ 200 = 75,000

overhead cost for setups: $ 20,000

total setups (cost driver) 22  + 28

activity rate: $ 20,000 / 50 setups = $    400

applied to deluxe model 28 setups x $   400 = $ 11,200

overhead cost for component: $40,000

total components: 8 + 12 = 20

activity rate: 40,000 / 20= 2,000

applied to deluxe model: 12 x 2,000 = 24,000

<u>Overhead cost into deluxe model under ABC:</u>

setup overhead applied to deluxe model 28 setups x $   400 = $ 11,200

component overhead applied to deluxe model: 12 x 2,000 = 24,000

Total: 35,200
