Answer:

D. owned by private citizens

Explanation:

A for-profit organization can be defined as a type of organization that is created to primarily generate more revenue than its operating costs by providing lawful services to customers. By generating more revenue than operating costs, a for-profit organization is able to make profit.

Some examples of for-profit organizations are privately owned establishments such as hospitals, hotels, restaurants, supermarkets, gas stations, etc.

Hence, a characteristic of a for-profit healthcare facility is that it is owned by private citizens.

Unlike government agencies or organizations which are being run with public funds and at a subsidized rate (focuses on services everyone can afford), for-profit are mostly owned by private citizens, who are always after making profits from the business.

What is the effect on real GDP of a $150 billion change in planned investment if the MPC is 0.65? $ nothing billion. (Enter

ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer and Explanation:

The computation of the effect on real GDP is shown below:

change in GDP is

= Multiplier × change in investment

= 1 ÷ (1 - MPC) × change in investment

= 1 ÷ (1 - 0.65) × $150 billion

= 2 × $150 billion

= $300 billion

And, the marginal propensity to consume is

= Change in spending of consumer ÷ income change

= (2,100 - 1,200) ÷ (4,000 - 3,000)

= 900 ÷ 1,000

= 0.9

Explanation:

The total amount from each of the interest rates can be expressed as;

A=P(1+r/n)^nt

where;

A=Future value of investment

P=Initial value of investment

r=Annual interest rate

n=Number of times the interest is compounded annually

t=number of years of the investment

a). Bank 1

P=x

r=6.1%=6.1/100=0.061

n=1

t=assume number of years=1

replacing;

A=x(1+0.061/1)^(1×1)

A=x(1.061)

A=1.061 x

b). Bank 2

P=x

r=6%=6/100=0.06

n=12

t=1

Replacing;

A=x(1+0.06/12)^(12×1)

A=x(1.005)^12

A=1.0617 x

c). Bank 3

P=x

r=6%=6/100=0.06

n=1

t=1

Replacing;

A=x(1+0.06/1)^(1)

A=1.0600 x

d). Bank 4

P=x

r=6%=6/100=0.06

n=4

t=1

A=x(1+0.06/4)^(4×1)

A=x(1+0.015)^4

A=x(1.061)

A=1.0614 x

e). Bank 5

P=x

r=6%=6/100=0.06

n=365

t=1

A=x(1+0.06/365)^(365×1)

A=1.0618

On October 1, 2018, Swifty Company places a new asset into service. The cost of the asset is $125000 with an estimated 5-year li

Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

The book value of the plant asset on the December 31, 2018 is $75,000.

Explanation:

Determine the depreciable cost,

The depreciable cost = Acquisition cost - Salvage value.

The depreciable cost = 125,000 - 30,500.

The depreciable cost = $94,500.

Determine the annual depreciation expense,

The annual depreciation expense = depreciable cost/useful life

The annual depreciation expense = 94,000/5

The annual depreciation expense = $18,900.

Find the % rate of depreciation .

The % rate of depreciation = (18,900/94,500) × 100.

% rate of depreciation = 20%

Since it is the double-declining-balance method of depreciation we multiply the % rate by 2 = 20% × 2 = 40%

Applying the rate to the carrying value of the asset to obtain current year's depreciation expense.

Current year's depreciation expense = Carrying value of the asset × the depreciation rate %.

Current year's depreciation expense = 125,000 × 40%.

Current year's depreciation expense = $75,000
