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

The amount of time it takes Robby to go grocery shopping is continuous and uniformly distributed between 20 minutes and 45 minut
labwork [276]

Answer:

0.4

Explanation:

This problem has been solved using the method of integration.

We are required to solve for the probability that it takes Robby between 29 and 39 minutes to go grocery shopping

= X~U(20,45)

= 1/45-20

= 1/25

Then we get computation for p[29<x<39]

When we take the integrals with x = 1/25

We get

Probability that it takes Robby between 29 and 39 minutes to go shopping to be 0.4

For each of the following depreciable assets, determine the missing amount. Abbreviations for depreciation methods are SL for st
makkiz [27]

Answer:

Please check the attached image for the answers

Explanation:

Check the attached image for a clearer image of the table used in answering this question

A.

Cost of asset = c

Useful life = 5

Depreciation expense using the double declining method = Depreciation factor x cost of the asset

Depreciation factor = 2 x (1/useful life)

= 2 × (1/5) = 0.4 = 40%

Because the depreciation factor is 40%, the remaining book value after depreciation would be 60%.

Note that : Book value in year 1 = Cost of asset - Depreciation expense of year 1

Book value in year in subsequent years = previous book value - that year's depreciation expense

The book value in year 2: 0.6c x $51,000

Solve for c = 51,000 / 0.6 = 85,000

So, the book value in year 2 is $85,000

The book value in year 1 which is also the cost of the asset can be found using this equation : (2 / 5 ) x c = $85,000

Solve for c = $85,000 × (5/2) = $212500

The cost of the asset is $212,500

For asset b

Sum of the year Depreciation expense = (number of useful life remaining / sum of useful years) x (Cost of asset - Salvage value)

number of useful life remaining at year 2 = 7

Sum of useful life = 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 8 = 36

The equation for year 2 depreciation : (7/36) × ($40,000 - Salvage value) = $7,000

0.194444 × ($40,000 - Salvage value) = $7,000

Make salvage value the subject of the formula and solve

Salvage value = $4,000

For asset c,

Straight line depreciation expense = (Cost of asset - Salvage value) / useful life

Inputting the values given for asset C into the above equation: ($103,000 - $13,000) ÷ useful life = $9,000

= $90,000 / useful life = $9,000

Solve for useful life, useful life = 10 years

For asset D,

To find the depreciation method used , we have to employ trial and error method. We would try all the depreciation methods available and determine which depreciation method would give us the depreciation value of $23,900

I would start with the straight line depreciation method Deprecation method.

Straight line depreciation expense = (Cost of asset - Salvage value) / useful life

= ($268,000-$29,000)/10 = $23,900

From the above calculation, the depreciation method used is the straight line depreciation method.

For asset E,

The 150% declining method = Depreciation factor x cost of the asset

Depreciation factor = 1.5 x (1/useful life)

1.5 x (1/8) = 0.1875

To derive the depreciation expense in year 2, the book value at the beginning of year 2 has to be determined. To determine the year 2 book value, the depreciation expense in year one has to be determined.

Year 1 depreciation expense = 0.1875 x $219,000 = $41,062.50

Year 2 , book value = $219,000 - $41,062.50 = $177,937.50

Depreciation expense in year 2 = 0.1875 x $177,937.50 = $33,363.28

In the neoclassical model, the as curve shifts to the right over time as_______________________ and potential gdp expands.
Zepler [3.9K]

In the neoclassical model, the as curve shifts to the right over time as productivity increases and potential GDP expands.

Potential GDP is the theoretical component where labor and capital are at the highest sustainable rates (i.e. H. at rates consistent with steady growth and steady inflation.

Potential is the maximum ideal output of an economy with a high GDP and maintaining currency and product price stability. Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is the amount of output that an economy could produce given a constant rate of inflation, but the price of rising inflation causes an economy to temporarily produce above its potential level of production. maybe performed.
