Answer:

The correct answer is the letter d. Neither the first nor the second.

Explanation:

GDP (gross domestic product) growth is influenced by various factors, consumption, investment, technology, external sector, etc. The policy of restricting foreign trade by placing barriers to trade has reduced GDP as it burdens one of the drivers of economic growth, for example by reducing exports to the rest of the world and thus GDP. Similarly, restricting foreign portfolio investment contributes to non-GDP growth, as foreign investments play an important role in increasing companies' capitalization, helping them to make more investments. Therefore, both economic policies are wrong.

Answer:

I) Days sales outstanding (DSO) for all customers?      48.7days

= (53*0.9)+(10*0.1) = 48.7 days

II) Net sales?                                                                  $166.600

The Net sales = Gross sales - sales allowance  

The discount amount due for the 10% discount customers = 2% of the 10% of 170 mn ==>  0.02 * 0.1 * 170 ===> 0.34 mn

∴ The Net sales = 17 - 0.34 mn = 16.66 mn

   Amount paid by discount customers?                     $13.600

Explanation:

I. General Credit Policy Information

  Credit stamps                                                               2/10 Net 30

  Days sales outstanding (DSO) for all customers    48.7days

  DSO for customers who take the discount (10%)      10days

  DSO for customers who forgo the discount (90%)    53days

II. Annual Credit Sales and Costs ($ millions)

  Gross sales                                                                 $170.000

  Net sales?                                                                   $166.600

  Amount paid by discount customers                      $13.600

  Amount paid by non discounted customers           $153.000

 Variable operating costs (82% of gross sales)         $139.40

 Bad debts                                                                    $0.0

 Credit evaluation & collection costs (10% of gross sales) $17.00

Refer to the above diagram of the market for corn. If the price in this market is $2 per bushel, then there will be? (The graph
lord [1]

Using the diagram of the market for corn. If the price in this market is $2 per bushel, then there will be option A: a shortage of 8 thousand bushels.

<h3>What is the issue of the quantity demanded about?</h3>

Based on the image attached,  12 thousand bushels are being wanted at this price of  $2 per bushel, while 4 thousand bushels are being delivered.

These figures are also shown in the image above. Now when you contrast the quantity given and sought at this pricing. The quantity supplied (12) lower than the quantity demanded (4). Or, to put it another way, the quantity that producers want to sell is lower than the quantity that customers want to purchase.

Therefore, Since Qd > Qs, we refer to this as an excess demand scenario or shortage.

Hence, 12 - 4 = 8

So there is a a shortage of 8 thousand bushels in quantity supplied.

Your lease calls for payments of $500 at the end of each month for the next 12 months. Now your landlord offers you a new 1-year
Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

Change in Net worth= $133.62

Explanation:

The two lease options require  that the leasee ( the tenant) commit himself to pay a series of equal amount of rent installment at the different time period in the future.

These series of equal periodic cash flows occurring in the future  are called annuities.  

To have a meaningful comparison, the two annuities should be compared based on their present values. So we compute the present value of the two using the formula below:

Present Value (PV) =( A × (1- (1+r)^(-n))/r

Option 1:Current lease

PV = 500 × 1-(1+0.05)^(12)

    = 500 ×  8.863251636

    = $4,431.62

Option 2: New Offer

This will be done in two steps:

PV of lease in year 3

PV =700 × (1-(1+0.05)^(-9))

     = 700 × 7.107821676

     =4,975.47

PV of lease in year 0

PV = FV × (1+r)^(-3)

     =4,975.47 × 0.8638

     =$4,298.00

My net worth would change by the amount of the difference between the two PV of the two annuities:

Difference in PV = $4,431.62-$4,298.00

      Change in Net worth= $133.62
