Answer:

D. No, because​ consumption, not​ investment, has fueled the trade deficit

Explanation:

Capital deepening requires an increase in the amount of capital in proportion to labor. To increase the amount of capital, investments are required.

In this example, investment as a percentage of GDP has not increased, while consumption has, but consumption does not directly increase capital.

Using the following information, what is the amount of net income? Purchases $ 33,114 Selling expenses $ 677 Merchandise invento
NeX [460]

The net income is $32,961

<u>Explanation</u>:

To calculate the net income, we will classify the transaction into income and expenses, and compute the difference between their totals;

Income;

Merchandise inventory Sept. 1     =  $  7,740

Merchandise inventory Sept. 30  = $ 11,372

                                         Sales     =  $ 50,575

                                        Total      =  $ 69,687

Expenses;

Purchases                             = $ 33,114

Selling expenses                  = $     677

Administrative expense       = $     665

Rent Revenue                       = $    1,118

Interest expense                  = $     1,152

Total                                      = $  36,726

Net income = Total income - Total expenses

                    = 69,687 - 36,716

                    = $ 32,961

How might a person’s place in the life cycle influence investment decisions?
vfiekz [6]

Answer:

Student responses will vary, but should include: A young investor has years of earning power and can take greater risks because he/she has time to make-up for losses. An older investor needs more security and current income from their investments because they are using it to retire on or they need it to continually grow so that they can retire.

Chandler Tire Co. is trying to decide which one of two projects it should accept. Both projects have the same start-up costs. Pr
mojhsa [17]

Answer:

The second project should be chosen. Because the present value of the second project is greater than that of the first project.

Explanation:

The project that should be chosen can be determined by comparing the present value of both projects.

Present value is the cash flows from a project discounted at the discount rate.

Present value can be found using a financial calculator;

For project 1,

Cash flow each year from year one to six is  $52,000

Discount rate = 15%

Present value =$196,793.10

For project 2,

Cash flow each year from year one to eight is  $48,000

Discount rate = 15%

Present value =$215,391.43

The second project would be chosen because its present value is greater than that of the first project.

I hope my answer helps you

Cost of Producing Guitars Carlota Music Company estimates that the marginal cost of manufacturing its Professional Series guitar
diamong [38]

Answer:

The total monthly cost C(x) incurred by Carlota in manufacturing x guitars/month is <u>C(x) = 0.004x^2 + 90x + 8,500</u>.

Explanation:

Given,

C '(x) = 0.008x + 90 ................................... (1)

To obtain the the total monthly cost C(x) incurred by Carlota in manufacturing x guitars/month, we obtain the integral of equation (1) as follows:

C(x)=\int\limits {C'(x)} \, dx = \int\limits {[0.008x + 90]} \, dx

C(x) = (0.008 / 2) x^2 + 90x + F

C(x) = 0.004x^2 + 90x + F .......................... (2)

Where F is the constant.

Since total cost is the addition of the total cost and total variable cost, the F in equation (2) represents the total fixed cost per month.

Since the fixed costs incurred by Carlota are $8500/month, this implies that F = 8,500.

Substituting F = 8,500 into equation (2), we have:

C(x) = 0.004x^2 + 90x + 8,500 <-------------- Total cost per month

Therefore, the total monthly cost C(x) incurred by Carlota in manufacturing x guitars/month is <u>C(x) = 0.004x^2 + 90x + 8,500</u>.
