Answer: The recessionary gap will be equal to 1 trillion yen divided by 2.5 or 0.4 trillion yen

Explanation:

From the question, we are informed that GDP gap of 1 trillion yen and the marginal propensity to consume (MPC) is 0.60. Also, to close the GDP gap, the prime minister has decided to increase government spending. This means that there will be a recessionary gap because the actual GDP will be less than the potential GDP.

Fir the economy to be brought to its potential GDP, the spending of the government will give a stimulus to the economy. Since MPC is 0.6, the multiplier will be:

= 1/1-MPC

= 1/1 - 0.6

= 1/0.4

= 2.5

The government spending will then increase in order to close the recessionary gap as:

∆Y = ∆G × Multiplier

100 = ∆G × 2.5

∆G = 100/2.5

∆G = 40

Therefore, the recessionary gap will be equal to 1 trillion yen divided by 2.5 or 0.4 trillion yen.

Ber [7]

Answer:

What is the amount of gross profit realized during 2020?

(460 x $33.30) + (230 x $29.60) + (276 x $18.50) = $27,232

What is the amount of inventory of unsold straight chairs on December 31, 2020?

[(920 - 460) x $56.70] + [(690 - 230) x $50.40] + [(1,610 - 276) x $31.50] = $26,082 + $23,184 + $42,021 = $91,287

Explanation:

lump sum cost of chairs = $137,655

Type                     Chairs       Selling Price Each       Total

Lounge chairs       920                     $90                 $82,800

Armchairs              690                     $80                   $55,20

<u>Straight chairs      1,610                     $50                $80,500</u>

total                      3,220                                          $218,500

if we allocate costs based on resale, then each chair should cost:

Lounge chairs $90 x ($137,655 / $218,500) = $56.70

Armchairs $80 x ($137,655 / $218,500) = $50.40

Straight chairs $50 x ($137,655 / $218,500) = $31.50

contribution margin per chair:

Lounge chairs $90 - $56.70 = $33.30

Armchairs $80 - $50.40 = $29.60

Straight chairs $50 - $31.50 = $18.50

Answer:

Rate is 1.5 times the straight line depreciation rate which is;

= \frac{80,000}{8}

= $10,000 per year

Rate = \frac{10,000}{80,000} * 100%

=12.5%

Reducing balance rate = 12.5% * 1.5

= 18.75%

The Depreciation Schedule would be;

Year   Beginning Book Value  Depreciation Expense   Accumulated Depreciation   Book Value

1  $80,000  80,000*18.75% = $15,000   $15,000   $65,000

2  $65,000  65,000 * 18.75% = $12,1875.50   $27,187.50   $52,812.50

3  $52,812.50  52,812.5 *18.75% = $9,902.34   $37,187.84   $42,910.16

4  $42,910.16  42,910.16 * 18.75% = $8,045.66   $45,233.50   $34,766.50

5  $34,766.50  34,766.50 * 0.1875 = 6,518.72   $51,752.22   $28,247.78

6  $28,247.78  28,247.78 * 0.1875= $5,296.45   $57,048.67   $22,951.33

7  $22,951.33  22,951.33 * 0.1875= 4,403.37   $61,452.04   $18,547.96

8  $18,547.96  18,547.96 * 0.1875 = $3,477.74    $80,000   $0

   $3,477.74 + 15,070.22= $18,574.96      

Depreciation for the last year was not sufficient to take the truck to $0 so the remainder will be depreciated in that year so that it may be completely depreciated.
