<u>Given:</u>

Real GDP of US = 32000

Growth rate of US = 2%

Real GDP of China = 4000

Growth rate of China = 7%

<u>To find:</u>

Number of years taken for China's real GDP per capita to be larger than real GDP per capita in the United States.

<u>Solution:</u>

The formula to calculate the years is,

GDP_{US}\times[1+growth_{US}]^n

On plugging-in the values,

\Rightarrow32000\times(1+0.02)^n

On solving the values we get,

\Rightarrow8

Therefore, we can clearly identify that number of years is greater than 40 and less than 45.

At the profit-maximizing level of output
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "C": marginal revenue equals marginal cost.

Explanation:

The profit-maximizing level of output for every type of firm is reached when the marginal revenue of production equals the marginal cost meaning that the additional cost of selling one more unit equals the cost of producing one more unit.

Marginal costs vary according to changes in production. Because of that, managers must identify when those events happen to calculate the profit margin (percentage sales that are converted into profits) of the firm to avoid losses.

damaskus [11]

Answer:

Explanation:

This is an Ordinary Annuity question. You can solve this using a financial calculator. I'm using (TI BA II Plus)

N; duration = 20

I/Y ; interest rate per year = 8.5%

PMT ; recurring annual payment = 70,000

FV; Future value = 0 (In solving annuities, use 0 if not given)

then CPT PV = ?

PV = 662,433.563

Therefore, your friend needs to have $662,433.56

Latham Corporation constructs a new factory building. The materials cost $300,000. Other costs include direct labor of $150,000,
Dovator [93]

Answer:

$535,000

Explanation:

The computation of the Latham's basis in the building is shown below:

= The material cost + direct labor cost + worker pension cost + architectural fees + depreciation on equipment  + interest paid during the year

= $300,000 + $150,000 + $5,000 + $15,000 + $25,000 + $40,000

= $535,000

It includes both direct and indirect cost

Since we have to compute for the building so we do not considered the purchase value of land and the loan amount

Alina [70]

Answer:

The answer is,

Asset

Most Liquid :  $5 bill

Second-Most Liquid : The funds in a savings account

Third-Most Liquid :  A bond issued by a publicly traded company

Least Liquid : Your house

The liquidity simply measures the ability to turn in to cash in a relatively short period of time. Cash at hand is the most liquid while property and other movable and immovable assets tends to be a bit difficult to be turned into cash quickly.

irakobra [83]

Answer:

2018:

building:                       296,400

Furniture and fixtures: 270,000

Office Equipment:      <u>  340,000  </u>

Total:                             906,400

Explanation:

<em>11,700,000 1/3 to land:</em>                3,900,000

<em>11,700,000 2/3 to building:</em>         7,800,000

Office Equipment:                  <u>       204,000   </u>

Total:                                           11,904,000

<u>Building depreciation: </u>

(historic cost - salvage value)/useful life

(7,800,000 - 7,800,000 x 5%)/25 = <em>296,400</em>

As this is straight-line depreciation will be constant for both years.

Furniture and fixtures: double-declining

the assets depreciate at a rate double of straight line of the carrying value

carring value: 2/useful life

2018:          1,350,000         x 1/10 x 2 = 270,000

2019: (1,350,000-270,000) x 1/10 x 2 = 216,000

Office Equipment: double-declining

2018:           850,000          x 2/5 =  340,000

2019: (850,000 - 340,000) x 2/5 = 204,000
