Answer: 204.76%
Explanation:
In the earlier scenario, furniture maker manufactured 47 (42 non defective) pieces per 5 laborers working 8 hours day.
Thus, the productivity in terms of units per labor hour is as follows:
= 1.05
Similarly, after the process improvement, the productivity in units per labor hour would be:
= 3.2
Thus change in productivity would be calculated as:
= 2.047 × 100
= 204.76%
Thus, the productivity of non defective parts would increase by 204.76%.
Question Completion with options:
Select one:
a. Include the $5,000 in total income on Form 1040
b. Include the $5,000 as a capital gain on Schedule D
c. Include the $5,000 as self-employment income on Schedule C
d. Include the $5,000 as interest income on Form 1040
Answer:
Loc Nguyen should:
b. Include the $5,000 as a capital gain on Schedule D.
Explanation:
Both long-term and short-term capital gains and deductible capital losses are reported on Schedule D of Form 1040. If the gain from the sale of the boat is a long-term capital gain, it will be subject to the lower capital gain tax rate of up to 20%, unlike the short-term capital gain that attracts a rate of up to 37%.
Answer:
Ending retained earnings balance is 700.
Explanation:
In order to find the ending retained earnings we will have to start from the beginning retained earnings. The beginning retained earnings are 1050. Because the company has a net loss of 150 we will subtract 150 from 1050. And we are left with 900. After this we will subtract the 100 cash dividends as these are also paid from the retained earnings that the company has so we are left with 800. Also the company pays a stock dividend worth 100 so we will also subtract that and are left with 700. So the ending retained earnings balance is 700.
Answer:
(a) GDP is a dependent variable and aggregate net investment is a independent variable. There is a positive relationship between the variables which means that an increase in the net investment will lead to increase GDP.
(b) There is a negative relationship between the variables which means that as the supply of wheat increases, as a result price of wheat falls. So, as the number of acres of wheat planted in a season increases as a result price of wheat decline.
(c) There is a negative relationship between the variables which means that an increase in the interest rate in an economy will lead to increase the cost of borrowings and hence, net investment falls.
(d) There is a negative relationship between the variables because of the law of demand. It states that an increase in the price of a commodity will lead to reduce the quantity demanded for that commodity.
(e) There is no relationship between these variables. Both the variables are totally uncorrelated.
Answer:
- <u><em>Pakistan's GDP = 13.53 trillions of rupees.</em></u>
Explanation:
<em>GDP</em> is the gross domestic product. It is the value of all the goods and services produced by an economy (a country), in a period, which is normally one year.
The <em>GDP</em> can be calculated with the equation:
GDP = Consumption + Investment + Goverment spending + Net Exports
Where, Net Exports is the value of the exports less the value of the imports.
Thus, the values that you need to sue to calculate the GDP are:
- Consumptiion
- Investment
- Goverment spending
- Exports
- Import
<u>Identify</u> the values that you need to incorporate in your formula. Here is the selection (all the amounts are in trillions of rupees):
- Consumption = individuals consume: 10.40
- Investment = businesses invest = 1.35
- Government spending = goverment purchases = 2.80
- Exports = Pakistan exports = 1.29
- Imports: Pakistan imports: 2.31
Those are all. Other items, i.e. foreigners spend (0.60 trillions of rupees) and individuals save (5.00 trillions of rupees), do not count for the GDP.
<u>Compute</u> (in trillions of rupees):
- GDP = 10.40 + 1.35 + 2.80 + (1.29 - 2.31) = 13.53
<u>Answer</u>: Pakistan's GDP = 13.53 trillions of rupees.
