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

bushels of corn and the market price for corn is $5 per bushel. Of the 30 million bushels produced, 20 million are sold to consumers, 5 million are stored in inventory, and 5 million are sold to the government to feed the army. The corn producer pays $60 million in wages to consumers and $20 million in taxes to the government. Consumers pay $10 million in taxes to the government, receive $10 million in interest on the government debt, and receive $5 million in Social Security payments from the government. The profits of the corn producer are distributed to consumers.
Required:
a. Calculate GDP using (i) the product approach, (ii) the expenditure approach, and (iii) the income approach.
b. Calculate private disposable income, private sector saving, government saving, national saving, and the government deficit. Is the government budget in deficit or surplus?

Answer:

a. <u>GDP using product approach</u>

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

<u>GDP using expenditure approach</u>

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

<u>GDP using income approach</u>

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

BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

2.09

Explanation:

Asset ratio is  a business tool used to measure the efficiency of assets towards sales generation by comparing net sales to average total assets.

It is calculated by dividing the net sales by average total assets.

The average total assets is used in order to make allowance for fluctuation in the course of business year

<u>Workings</u>

Net sales = $217550

Opening total asset = $94200

Closing Total assets = $ 113500

=2.09

Sanders, Inc., paid a $4 dividend per share last year and is expected to continue to pay out 60% of its earnings as dividends fo
maks197457 [2]

Answer:

The price of the stock today is $42.94

Explanation:

The price of a stock whose dividends are expected to grow at a constant rate is calculated using the constant growth model of Dividend Discount model approach. It bases the price of the stock on the present value of the expected future dividends. The price today under this model is calculated as follows,

P0 = D0 * (1+g)  /  r - g

Where,

  • D0 * (1+g) is the D1 or the dividend for the next year
  • r is the required rate of return
  • g is the growth rate in dividends

P0 = 4 * (1+0.052)  /  (0.15 - 0.052)

P0 = $42.938 rounded off to $42.94
