Answer: c. small changes in economic growth rate lead to large GDP changes over time.

Explanation:

If there is even a small change in the rate at which the economy is growing, this increase will increase by even more the year afterward and then even more as time goes on. This is because the interest is being compounded overtime.

Look at the future value formula that shows compounding for instance:

Future value = Amount * (1 + rate) ^ number of periods

Assume even a change of 2% in the growth rate. In 30 years, this rate would have increased the economy by:

= 1 * ( 1 + 2%)³⁰

= 1.81

Which is a rate of:

= 1.81 - 1

= 81%

What started off as only 2% became 81% in 30 years. This is what compounding does.

Two goods are considered to be related goods by many buyers: if the price of one increases, buyers buy more of the other. This i

vovikov84 [41]

Answer: False.

Explanation:

False.

This indicates that the two goods are substitute goods, not the complementary goods.

In case of complementary goods, the price of one good is inversely related with the demand for other related good. For example, car and petrol; if the price of petrol increases as a result demand for cars decreases.

In case of substitute goods, the price of one good is directly related with the demand for other related good. For example, tea and coffee; if the price of coffee increases as a result demand for tea increases. So, there is a positive relationship between the price of one good and demand for the other good.

How would the number of firms competing in a particular market affect the likelihood that an exporter to that market would be ac

professor190 [17]

Answer:

We can assume companies form country A export to country B. Country B's economy is very large and many domestic and foreign firms compete in it. High levels of competition will eventually lower the costs of products sold in a market, so the products sold in Country B have relatively low prices.

In order for foreign companies to compete in country B's market they must have low prices. So companies from country A will sell its products in country B at low prices, increasing the possibility that the price of their exports are lower than their domestic prices (prices for their own country). Therefore the chance for a dumping accusation increases.

A beneficiary acquired stock from a decedent. The stock's fair market value at the date of the decedent's death was $500,000. Th

Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

Beneficiary recognized gain is $510000.

Explanation:

The amount paid by the decedent for the stock = $280000

The market value of the stock at the time of death = $500000

The selling price or the amount received by the beneficiary by the sell of stock = $510000

Since the recognized gain is calculated by subtracting the amount paid by the person to buy the stock from the amount that he receives from the sale of stock. But in this case, the beneficiary pays zero for the stock but gets all the money after selling.

Beneficiary recognized gain = amount received from the sell – the amount paid by the beneficiary.

= $510000 – 0

= $510000

fgiga [73]

Answer:

Explanation:

a. Earnings per share

= After tax earnings / Number of common shares outstanding

= $3,000,000 / 761,000

= $3.9 per share

b. Assuming that a share of Bozo Oil's company has a market value of $40, then, the firm's price earning ratio would be:

= Common stock market value / Earnings per share

= $40 / $3.9

= 10.26

c. The book value of a share of Bozo Oil's common stock

Book value = (Assets - Liabilities) / Number of shares outstanding

= ($15,000,000 - $9,000,000) / 761,000

= $6,000,000 / 751,000

= $7.88
