Which of the following is likely to increase a country's gross domestic product (GDP)?

antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer: In macroeconomics, gross domestic product (GDP) is a macroeconomic magnitude that expresses the monetary value of the production of goods and services of final demand of a country or region during a determined period, normally one year or quarterly.

GDP can be measured by adding up all the final demands for goods and services in a given period. In this case, the destination of the production is being quantified. There are four major areas of spending: household consumption (C), government consumption (G), investment in new capital (I) and the net results of foreign trade (exports-imports).

And it can also be measured by adding the income of all the factors that contribute to the production process, such as wages and salaries, commissions, rents, copyrights, fees, interests, profits, etc. The GDP is the result of the calculation by means of the payment to the factors of the production. All this, before deducting tax.

Thus the statements "b. An increase in Social Security expenses" as government expenses, "c. An increase in retirement and pension benefits to elderly citizens" as subsidies or transfers, and " d. An individual receiving an annual performance bonus of $5,000" as financial interest are likely to increase a country GDP.

masha68 [24]

Answer:

Materials = 44,000

Conversion = 40,800

Explanation:

Step 1 Determine the Number of Closing Work In Process Units

Closing Work In Process Units = Opening Work In Process Units + Units started in process - Units transferred out

= 6,000 + 38,000 - 36,000

= 8,000

Step 2 Determine the equivalent units for March 2019

Materials :

Note : Materials are added at the be-ginning of the process, therefore Units Transferred Out and Closing Work In Process are 100% complete in terms of materials

Closing Work In Process Units - 100% = 8,000

Units transferred out - 100% = 36,000

Total equivalent units = 44,000

Conversion :

Note : Ending work-in-process was 60% processed, therefore 60% completed in terms of conversion costs

Closing Work In Process Units - 60% = 4,800

Units transferred out - 100% = 36,000

Total equivalent units = 40,800
