The gross domestic product (GDP) of the United States is defined as the market value of allfinal goods and services produced wit

hin the United States in a given period of time. Based on this definition, indicate which of the following transactions will be included in (that is, directly increase) the GDP of the United States in 2018.
a. An accountant starts a client's 2018 tax return on April 14, 2019, finishing it just before midnight on April 15, 2019. Chocolate Express, a Swiss chocolate company, produces a chocolate bar at a plant in Illinois on December 5, 2018.
b. An elementary school student buys the chocolate bar on December 24. Rotato, a U.S. tire company, produces a set of tires at a plant in Michigan on September 13, 2018. It sells the set of tires to Speedmaster for use in the production of a two-door coupe that will be made in the United States in 2018. (Note: Focus exclusively on whether production of the set of tires increases GDP directly, and ignore the effect of production of the two-door coupe on GDP.)
c. Zippycar, a U.S. automobile company, produces a convertible at a manufacturing plant in Minneapolis on January 9, 2018. It sells the car at a dealership in San Diego on February 24, 2018.
d. Athleticus, a U.S. shoe company, produces a pair of sneakers at a plant in Vietnam on March 17, 2018. Athleticus imports the pair of sneakers into the United States on May 21, 2018.

Answer:

Chocolate Express, a Swiss chocolate company, produces a chocolate bar at a plant in Illinois on December 5, 2018.

b. An elementary school student buys the chocolate bar on December 24..

c. Zippycar, a U.S. automobile company, produces a convertible at a manufacturing plant in Minneapolis on January 9, 2018. It sells the car at a dealership in San Diego on February 24, 2018.

d. Athleticus, a U.S. shoe company, produces a pair of sneakers at a plant in Vietnam on March 17, 2018. Athleticus imports the pair of sneakers into the United States on May 21, 2018.

Explanation:

Gross domestic product is the total sum of final goods and services produced in an economy within a given period which is usually a year

GDP calculated using the expenditure approach = Consumption spending by households + Investment spending by businesses + Government spending + Net export

Net export = exports – imports

When exports exceed import there is a trade deficit and when import exceeds import, there is a trade surplus.  

Items not included in the calculation off GDP includes:  

1. services not rendered to oneself

2. Activities not reported to the government  

3. illegal activities

4. sale or purchase of used products

5. sale or purchase of intermediate products

The accountant's work would be included in 2019's GDP

The chocolate purchase would be included in GDP as part of consumption expenditure

Tire is an intermediate good in this question and would not be included in GDP

The purchase of the shoe from Vietnam would have no effect on GDP because it decreases net export

A candle manufacturer produces 4,000 units when the market price is $11 per unit and produces 6,000 units when the market price
mario62 [17]

Answer:

The option (b) 2.4 is correct.

Explanation:

We can find price elasticity of demand by using the formula shown in the attachment attached with.

Since we know the quantities of product associated with the market price of the product, by putting values in the equation we have:

Price elasticity of Demand =

= [(6000 - 4000) / (6000 + 4000)/2] / [(13 - 11) / (13+11)/2]

Price elasticity of Demand = 2.4

So this is how we can find the price elasticity of supply which says that the producers will respond to prices drop by producing lower quantity of product.

Kohler Corporation reports the following components of stockholders’ equity at December 31, 2018. Common stock—$20 par value, 10
gogolik [260]

Answer:

1. See the attached excel file for the journal entries.

2. Ending balance of retained earning is $346,125

3.Total Stockholder's Equity is $1,616,125

Explanation:

1. Prepare journal entries to record each of these transactions.

Note: See the attached excel file for the journal entries.

The following are tge workings:

w.1: Treasury stock = $5,000 * $20 = $10,000

w.2: Dividend payable = (Issued and outstanding shares - Shares repurchase) * Dividend per share = (60,000 - 5,000) * $4 = 55,000 * $4 = $220,000

w.3: Cash = Number of shares sold * Selling price per share = 1,875 * $24 = $45,000

w.4 = Treasury stock = Number of shares sold * Treasury price per share = 1,875 * $20 = $37,500

w.5: Additional paid in capital = Number of shares sold * (Selling price per share - Treasury price per share) = 1,875 * ($24 - $20) = $7,500

w.6: Cash = Number of shares sold * Selling price per share = 3,125 * $17 = $53,125

w.7 = Treasury stock = Number of shares sold * Treasury price per share = 3,125 * $20 = $62,500

w.8: Balancing figure = Treasury stock (w.7) – Cash (w.7) - Additional paid in capital (w.5) = $62,500 - $53,125 - $7,500 = $1,875

w.9: Dividend payable = (Issued and outstanding shares * Dividend per share = 60,000 * $4 = $240,000

(Predetermined OH rates; capacity measures) Albertan Electronics makes inexpensive GPS navigation devices and uses a normal cost
Jet001 [13]

Answer:

Albertan Electronics

a. Albertan Electronics’ predetermined variable OH rate is $20.50.

b. The predetermined FOH rate using practical capacity is $8.00.

c.  The predetermined FOH rate using expected capacity is $12.00.

d1.  The variable overhead applied is $1,375,000.

d2. The fixed overhead applied using the rate in (b) is $880,000.

d3. The fixed overhead applied using the rate in (c) is $1,320,000.

d4. The total under-applied overhead for 2010 at $8.00 FOH rate is $455,000 and the total under-applied overhead for 2010 at $12 FOH rate is $15,000.

Explanation:

a) Available 2010 budgeted data:

Variable factory overhead at 100,000 machine hours $1,250,000 ($12.50)

Variable factory overhead at 150,000 machine hours 1,875,000 ($12.50)

Fixed factory overhead at all levels between 10,000 and 180,000 machine hours  = 1,440,000 ($8.00)

Practical capacity is 180,000 machine hours; expected capacity is two-thirds of practical (120,000) = $12 ($1,440,000/120,000)

Predetermined Overhead Rate:

Variable factory overhead =         $12.50

Fixed factory overhead =                 8.00

Predetermined overhead rate = $20.50

During 2010, the firm records 110,000 machine hours and $2,710,000 of overhead costs. How much variable overhead is applied? How much fixed overhead is applied using the rate found in part (b)? How much fixed overhead is applied using the rate found in part (c)? Calculate the total under- or overapplied overhead for 2010 using both fixed FOH rates.

Variable overhead applied = $12.50 * 110,000 =    $1,375,000

Fixed overhead applied with $8 * 110,000 =               880,000

Total overhead applied                                          $2,255,000

Underapplied overhead = ($2,710,000 -2,255,000) 455,000

Variable overhead applied = $12.50 * 110,000 =    $1,375,000

Fixed overhead applied with $12 * 110,000 =           1,320,000

Total overhead applied                                          $2,695,000

Underapplied overhead = ($2,710,000 -2,695,000)    15,000
