Answer:

The current account deficit will increase from 1% to 31% of GDP.

Explanation:

National saving and investment identity helps in understanding the determinants of trade and current account balance. The current account is in balance when the quantity demanded of financial capital is equal to the quantity supplied of financial capital.  

Here, the government saving or surplus and private savings are the supply of financial capital and investment indicates demand for financial capital.

The current account balance is

= Supply of capital - Demand for capital

= (30 + 2)% - 33%

= 32% - 33%

= -1%

So the current account is in deficit by 1% of GDP.  

If the private savings becomes zero, the current account balance will be

= Supply of capital - Demand for capital

= 2% - 33%

= -31%

The current account will be in deficit by 31%.

ANTONII [103]

Answer:

It is $18,290.24

Explanation:

Profit after Tax (65%) = addition to retained earnings+dividend paid

                                   = $411 +  $285

                                    = $ 696

Profit before Tax = [100/65] * $ 696

                            = $1070.76

Tax (35%)             = 35% * $1070.76

                            = $374.77

Gross Profit = Profit before tax + Total expenses

                    = $1070.76 + [  $4,370+ $103+ $812]

                    = $6355.76

Cost of Sales= $24,646 -$6355.76

                     = $18,290.24 .

-Dividend is paid is paid from profit after tax

anastassius [24]

Answer:

1.272 per share

Explanation:

The computation of earnings per share is shown below:-

Weighted Average number of Common shares outstanding = outstanding common shares ÷ Net income

= 900,000 ÷ $707,810

= 1.272 per share

Where,

Net Income = Preferred Dividends ÷ Weighted Average number of Common shares outstanding

= $655,000 ÷ (1 + 0.05) + ( 60,000 × 8 months ÷ 12 months) × 1.05 + (72,000 × 7 months ÷ 12 months)

= $623,810 + 40,000 × 1.05 + 42,000

= $623,810 + 42,000 + 42,000

= 707,810
