Answer:
The Draper Corporation would be indifferent between continuing and discontinuing of Doombugs at 20,000 units.
Explanation:
The draper should be indifferent at the level at which they covered all of their Fixed Cost.
The sales price per unit is ⇒ 150,000/15,000 = 10 per unit
The Variable cost per unit is ⇒ 120,000/15,000 = 8 per unit
The Break-even units for Draper should be:
Break-even units = <u> Fixed Cost </u>
Sale price - Variable Cost
Break-even units = <u>40,000</u>
10-8
Break-even units = <u>40,000</u>
2
Break-even units = 20,000 units

Explanation:
Hyperinflation occurs when the prices of goods and services increases very rapidly. This situation is stirred up when the federal government in a country prints more money in order to finance their fiscal budget, this leads to increase in price coupled with inflation, this is as a result of increase in the supply of money.
The government is supposed to secure the supply of money in order to reduce inflation instead of printing more money. Consumers that understands what this means anticipates increase in price, this makes them buy more before the eventual increase in price.

Answer:
Explanation:
The formula for GDP is
GDP = C + I + G + NX
C = consumption
I = Investment by business and household purchases by individuals
G = Government Expenditures
NX = foreign trade.
The first thing you can do is knock out foreign trade.
I think you can dispense with Government expenditures as well all though a school is an arm of government.
I think investment is what you have to look at carefully because it does include charitable organizations. We'll come back to this.
Consumption is what it sounds like it sounds.
You can't answer this in any other way than to know how the company writes it off. It is an asset that goes from some value to 0. It no longer exists on their books. So it decreases their assets. It is balanced on their books by calling it an expense I think and that further has impact on their books.
So they are decreasing their value (albeit by a small amount -- they've already bought new computers).
I'm not sure about this, but I think what has happened is that the GDP is going to go down. Their investment has decreased by being written off.
