Which phrase best completes the list?

Every five years, the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) revises past GDP figures and the methodology involved in computing nat

Scilla [17]

Answer:

E) A and B only.

A. Identifying the qualifying expenditures that lead to the creation of the intellectual property.
B. Deciding how broadly or narrowly to define the concept of intellectual property.

Explanation:

The problem with valuating intellectual property is not what the intellectual property is worth once it is completed (e.g. patent), the real challenge is to properly identify the costs of developing the intellectual property. Research and development costs are usually reported as expenses for this same reason.

Another problem is to really define what can be considered intellectual property and specially what intellectual property should be assigned value. A trademark is an intellectual property, but most trademarks are really worthless, but some like Apple or Coca Cola are worth millions.

Ziegler Inc. has decided to use the high-low method to estimate the total cost and the fixed and variable cost components of the

LiRa [457]

Answer:

Results are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Units Produced Total Costs

101,500 $28,022,500

118,500 30,997,500

131,500 33,272,500

To calculate the fixed and variable costs, we need to use the high-low method:

Variable cost per unit= (Highest activity cost - Lowest activity cost)/ (Highest activity units - Lowest activity units)

Variable cost per unit= (33,272,500 - 28,022,500 ) / (131,500 - 101,500)

Variable cost per unit= $175

Fixed costs= Highest activity cost - (Variable cost per unit * HAU)

Fixed costs= 33,272,500 - (175*131,500)

Fixed costs= $10,260,000

Fixed costs= LAC - (Variable cost per unit* LAU)

Fixed costs= 28,022,500 - (175*101,500)

Fixed costs= $10,260,000

Now, the total cost for 115,000 units:

Total cost= 10,260,000 + 175*115,000

Total cost= $30,385,000

Suppose you deposit $1400 cash into your checking account. By how much will checking deposits in the banking system increase as

grin007 [14]

The rounded nearest dollar is $\$12727.27$

Solution:

Deposit multiplier is a feature that explains how much money banks create when they loan money to borrowers.

The sum for the banks to lend is the amount of money kept by the banks above the appropriate balance.

It is the key element of a fractional banking reserve system.

Banks in the United States must meet Federal Reserve minimum requirements, but they can set higher deposits multiplier.

Change in deposit = $\$1400$

RRR = 0.110

Change in the Money supply = (Change in the Monetary base) $\times$ (Money multiplier)

Money multiplier= $1 \div \text{ reserve ratio }=\frac{1}{0.110}=9.091$

Change in money supply= $1400\times9.091= \$12727.273$ that is approximately 12727.27 dollars.

Suppose that the price of chicken rises sharply compared to the price of turkey. In response, consumers buy more turkey and less

Arisa [49]

Answer:

The correct answer is option a.

Explanation:

The consumer price index or CPI is a measure to calculate the change in the price level or the rate of inflation. It calculates the changes in the price of a basket of goods generally purchased by the consumers.

But CPI does not always accurately calculate inflation. It involves substitution bias and quality adjustment bias.

For instance, when the price of chicken increases as compared to the price of turkey, the consumers will buy more turkey and less chicken. So the consumer expenditure will not increase as they will be substituting turkey for chicken.

But the CPI will increase with an increase in chicken price. An increase in CPI implies an increase in inflation, so inflation will be overstated.

Lindsay Corporation had net income for 2018 of $3,000,000. Additional information is as follows: Depreciation of plant assets $1

melamori03 [73]

Answer:

Net cash provided by operating activities for 2018 was $4,560,000

Explanation:

The net cash provided by operating activities can be computed by preparing the operating activities of the statement of cash flow as shown below:

Net income for the year $3,000,000

add depreciation $1,200,000

add amortization $240,000

deduct increase in accounts receivable ($420,000)

add increase in accounts payable $540,000

net cash provided by operations $4,560,000

The cash provided by operating activities is $4,560,000

The rationale for deducting increase in accounts receivable is that the increase deprived Lindsay corporation cash of $420,000.
