Answer:
(A) it will affect the GDP Deflator.
(B) it will affect both the GDP deflator and the CPI
Explanation:
(A) The increase in prices of imports increase real GDP and also the GDP deflator as now the US will purchase less of these cars from china and therefore there will be less imports of this car from china, people will prefer buying local inexpensive cars which will in turn increase the GDP even more than before so therefore this scenario only affects the GDP deflator only as the formula for real GDP is the sum of consumption spending, government spending,government saving( investment) and (exports minus imports) so the less imports we get the more real GDP we get in the US economy.
(B) This will affect both GDP deflator and CPI because firstly this will touch on the exports which will increase and bring in more revenue for the US therefore increasing real GDP because the prices of the fishing product has decreased which will cause the US economy to increase. it will also affect the CPI because now prices of this product have fell therefore the CPI is also going to fall probably causing a deflation.
Answer:
A and B.
Explanation:
Understand cost classification used for assigning costs to cost objects can be divided in direct costs and indirect costs.
Direct costs are those who can be easily and conveniently traced to a unit of product or other cost object. Examples are direct material and labor.
Indirect costs are those who cannot be easily and conveniently traced to a unit of product or other cost object. Example manufacturing overhead.
The common costs are the indirect costs incurred in support a number of cost objects. These costs cannot be traced to any individual cost object.
Determining cost tracing and allocation is more art than science, as it's difficult to trace costs with 100 percent accuracy.
Tracing costs becomes even more difficult when a cost goes toward producing multiple goods or services.
Answer:
b. $18,000
Explanation:
The computation of outstanding checks is shown below:-
Outstanding checks as of the end of July = Start with outstanding checks as of June + Amount of checks issued in July - Amount of checks that cleared in July
= $5,400 + $38,900 - $26,300
= $44,300 - $26,300
= $18,000
Note, The $300 check was issued by a customer, not Darlene.
So, for computing the outstanding checks as of the end of July we simply applied the above formula.
Answer: Step 1) Find share of market in the Portfolio
(11.5-3.5)x+3.5=6.5
8x=3
x=3/8
x=0.375
=37.5%
SD of market portfolio= 0.375x+0=9.5
x=9.5/0.375
=25.33%
correl = cov / (std 1 * std2)
0.4=COV/0.2533*0.545
COV= 0.2533*0.545*0.4=0.05
cov of 2 assets = b1 * b2 * variance of market
0.05=B1*1*0.2533^2
B of security=0.0032
Capm Model
3.5+0.0032(11.5-3.5)=3.5256% expected return
Explanation:
Step 1) Find the share of market in the portfolio in order to find market SD
Step 2) Find Covariance betweens security and market by using both SDS and correlation
Step 3) Find Beta of Security using Co variance
Step 4) Use the Beta in CAPM model in order to find expected return
