Katen [24]

Answer:

1) C) The value of the services of the real estate agent

2) B) $6,400

Explanation:

First, there are two questions lumped together as one

Question 1: Suppose in 2016, you purchase a house built in 2003. Which of the following would be included in the gross domestic product for 2016?

A) The value of the house in 2013

B)The value of the house in 2016 minus depreciation

C) The value of the services of the real estate agent

4) The value of the house in 2016

Question 2: Suppose that a simple economy produces only four goods and services shoes. DVDs, tomatoes, and ketchup. Assume one half of the tomatoes are used in making the ketchup and the other half of the tomatoes are purchased by households.

Products Quantity Price

Shoes 40 $60

DVDs 100 $18

Tomatoes 2,000 $1

Ketchup 300 $4

Using the information in the above table, nominal GDP for this simple economy equals A) $7, 400. B) $6, 400. C) $5, 800 units. D) $2, 440.

Answer to the First Question

First the Gross Domestic Product of a Country usually represents the market value or referred to as total monetary value of finished products as well as services that were engaged in during a specific period of time and within the borders of that country. The thing about GDP is that it only reflects items that are captured as products or services and which are reported for the year.

In the question therefore, the GDP will only reflect the value of product or service that was newly created in 2016. The house was built in 2003, therefore the relevant GDP item (value of the house) was captured in 2003.

The only new value is the Value of the services of the real estate agent who was engaged in 2016 to facilitate the sales of the house.

Answer to the Second Question:

Nominal GDP represents GDP valued at current market prices for products or services.

To calculate the Nominal GDP we look at the goods and then calculate based on their current market prices.

(Shoes = 40 pieces x $60) + (DVDS = 100 pieces x $18) + (Tomatoes (1000x$1 - 1/2 purchased by households) + (Ketchup 300 x $4)

= $2400+ $1,800+ $1000+ $1,200

= $6,400

Kraus Steel Company has two departments, Casting and Rolling. In the Rolling Department, ingots from the Casting Department are

ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

The units started and completed is 59,900 tons

Explanation:

The computation of the number of tons started and completed during October is shown below:

Units Completed = Beginning Work in Process Units Completed + Units started and Completed

74,900 units = 15,000 tons + Units started and Completed

So, the units started and completed is

= 74,900 tons - 15,000 tons

= 59,900 tons

Hence, the units started and completed is 59,900 tons

Suppose Aiyanna's Pizzeria currently faces a linear demand curve and is charging a very high price per pizza and doing very litt

DedPeter [7]

Answer:

Options Include:

A. demand will become more price elastic.

B. price elasticity of demand will not change as price is lowered.

C. demand will become less price elastic. is Correct

D. the elasticity of supply will increase.

Explanation:

Typically as a broadly accurate guide, the product is called elastic if the quantity of a good demanded or purchased increases more than the change in price.

(Price increases by + 5%, but demand decreases by -10%). When the shift in the purchased quantity is the same as the price change (say, 10 per cent/10 per cent= 1), the product is said to have price elasticity unit (or unitary).

Eventually, when the purchased quantity changes less than the price (say,-5 per cent demanded for a price change of+ 10 per cent), then the product is called inelastic.

Suppose you deposit $2,500 at the end of year 1, nothing at the end of year 2, $750 at the end of year 3, and $1,300 at the end

Ratling [72]

Answer:

$5837 approx

Explanation:

Amount = $Principal(1\ +\ r)^{n}$

Amount deposited at the end of year 1 would yield = $2500 $(1\ +\ .09)^{4}$ = $2500 × 1.41158 = $3528.95

Amount deposited at the end of year year 3 would yield = $750 $(1\ +\ .09)^{2}$ = $891.075

Amount deposited at the end of year 4 would yield = $1300 $(1\ +\ .09)^{1}$ = $1417

Total deposit at the end of year 5 = $3528.95 + $891.075 + $1417 = $5837 approx.
