Answer:

b) inventory is sold on credit.

Explanation:

Liquidity is defined as the a business to use its current assets to settle it's current liabilities.

This is calculated by using the working capital ratio.

Working capital ratio = Current assets ÷ Current liabilities.

Cash and inventory contribute to a business' liquidity.

When inventory is sold on credit, it does not result in immediate increase in cash as payment is in the future. So there is a reduction in the current asset of the company.

A reduction in the numerator of the working capital ratio results in lower value of the ratio (lower liquidity)

I this case, the loan is still valid and at that point Mike would be responsible for finding a way to pay the loan back as agreed upon in the contract. This is called co-signing, when two parties both sign for a loan together. Both parties are responsible for the loan and even though David cannot be found, the loan must still be paid and Mike would be held responsible for this.

Consider an economy with a corn producer, some consumers, and a government. In a given year, the corn producer grows 30 million

lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

a. GDP using product approach

There are no intermediate goods inputs. Corn producer grows 30 million bushels of corn and each bushel of corn worth is $5.

GDP = 30 million * $5

GDP = $150 million

GDP using expenditure approach

i) Consumers buy 20 million bushels of corn

Consumption = 20 million * 5

Consumption (C) = $100 million

ii) Corn producer adds 5 million bushels to inventory

Investment = 5 million * $5

Investment (I) = $25 million

iii) Government buys 5 million bushels of corn

Government spending = 5 million * $5

Government spending (G) = $25 million

GDP = C + I + G

GDP = $100 + $25 + $25

GDP = $150 million

GDP using income approach

Profit income = $150 million - $60 million - $20 million

Profit income = $70 million

Government income = Taxes paid by the corn producer = $20 million

GDP = $60 million + $70 million + $20 million

GDP = $150 million

b. Private disposable income = GDP + Net factor payments + Government transfers + Interest on the government debt - Total taxes

Private disposable income = $150 million + 0 + $5 million + $10 million - $30 million

Private disposable income = $135 million

Private savings = Private disposable income - Consumption

Private savings = $135 million - $100 million

Private savings = $35 million

Government savings = Government tax income - Transfer payments - Interest on the government debt - Government spending

Government savings = $30 million - $5 million - $10 million - $5 million

Government savings = $10 million

National savings = Private savings + Government savings

National savings = $35 million + $10 million

National savings = $45 million

Government budget surplus = Government savings = $10 million

Government deficit = (-) $10 million
