Ket [755]

Answer:

a. $14,200

Explanation:

The computation of the bad debt expense is shown below:

Balance in Allowance for doubtful Accounts = Opening Balance in Allowance for Doubtful Account - Accounts Wrote Off + Bad debts recovered

= $20,000 - $11,400 + $4,200

To avoid double-counting output in GDP measures, _____ are excluded in GDP.

Effectus [21]

The correct answer is d). We have that government spending can also give way to products and services, just like private enterprises, thus there is no double-counting there. Services such as haircuts have their own value, which are separate from any other material products. Finally exports are also not counted twice; Raw materials though would be counted twice if we counted them for the GDP since their value is incorporated in the value of the final product. For example, we cannot count towards the GDP the value of rubber production in a country since then, if we counted the value of the tires too, we would count the value of the rubber in the tires twice (one time as rubber/ one time as part of the tire).

Assuming the average person works 50 weeks per year, median earnings of a college graduate are $56,850 per year compared to $33,

Drupady [299]

Answer:

a. over 100,000

b. is more than 8 times

Explanation:

a.

Cost of four-year bachelor degree = Actual cost + opportunity cost

And

Actual cost = amount spent

opportunity cost = amount lost in not doing job just after high school

So ,

opportunity cost would be the 4 year salary of a high school graduate.

∴

Opportunity cost = 4 * yearly income of high school graduate

= $ 4 * 33900

= $ 135,600

Actual cost = 4 * yearly cost to attend college

= $ 4 * 25,290

= $ 101,160

As,

Total cost = Actual cost + opportunity cost

= $ 101,160 + 135,600

= $ 236,760

b.

Lifetime gain in pursuing bachelor degree over high school = life time earning of bachelor - lifetime earning of high school graduate

= 2,444,500 - 1,593,300 = 851,200 $

Hence,

the expenses of obtaining a bachelor degree is worth it because the increase in lifeime earning exceeds cost. [ cost = 236,760 $ , gain = 851,200 $ ]

So,

The expense of obtaining a bachelor's degree worth it because the increase in lifetime earnings is more than 8 times the cost
