Answer: positive

Explanation:

The real gross domestic product refers to the value of the output in an economy which has been adjusted for price changes.

There's a positive relationship between the real GDP and tax revenues. This can be used to explain deficit spending during a recession. When there's recession, there'll be a reduction in the output and consumption in the economy. At this point, there'll be a reduction in GDP.

One of the three economic questions deals with deciding what goods and services should be produced. what the costs of production

abruzzese [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is What Goods and Services should be produced.

Explanation:

The problem ‘what to produce’ can be divided into two related questions. First, which goods are to be produced and which not; and second, in what quantities those goods, which the economy has decided to produce, are to be produced. If productive resources were unlimited we could produce as many numbers of goods as we liked and, therefore, the question “What goods to be produced and what not” would not have arisen. But because resources are in fact scarce relative to human wants, an economy must choose among different alternative collections of goods and services that it should produce.

If the Society decides to produce particular goods in a larger quantity, it will have to withdraw resources from the production of some other goods. Further, an economy has to decide how much resources should be allocated for the production of consumer goods and how much for capital goods. In other words, an economy has to decide the respective quantities of consumer goods and capital goods to be produced.

The choice between consumer goods and capital goods involves the choice between the present and the future. If the society decides to produce more capital goods, some resources will have to be taken away from the production of consumer goods and. therefore, the production of consumer goods would have to be cut down. But greater amount of capital goods would make possible the production of larger quantities of consumer goods in the future. Thus, we see that some current consumption has to be sacrificed for the sake of more consumption in the future.

Booth's fixed assets were used to only 50% of capacity during 2019, but its current assets were at their proper levels in relati

hoa [83]

This question is incomplete. The complete question is given below:

The Booth Company's sales are forecasted to double from $1,000 in 2016 to $2,000 in 2017. Here is the December 31, 2016, balance sheet:

Cash $ 100 Accounts payable $ 50

Accounts receivable 200 Notes payable 150

Inventories 200 Accruals 50

Net fixed assets 500 Long-term debt 400

Common stock 100

Retained earnings 250

Total assets $1000 Total liabilities and equity $1000

Booth's fixed assets were used to only 50% of capacity during 2016, but its current assets were at their proper levels in relation to sales. Spontaneous liabilities and all assets except fixed assets must increase at the same rate as sales, and fixed assets would also have to increase at the same rate if the current excess capacity did not exist. Booth's after-tax profit margin is forecasted to be 3% and its payout ratio to be 50%. What is Booth's additional funds needed (AFN) for the coming year? Round your answer to the nearest dollar.

Answer:

Booth's additional funds needed (AFN) for the coming year = 370

Explanation:

Additional Funds Needed (AFN):

Additional Funds Needed (AFN) is a way of calculating how much new funding will be required, so that the firm can realistically look at whether or not they will be able to generate the additional funding and therefore be able to achieve the higher sales level.

Formula of AFN:

AFN = [ ( A / S0 ) * ΔS - ( L / S0 ) * ΔS - MS1 * ( RR ) ]

where

A = Assets linked with sales

Formula for Assets:

Assets = Cash + Account receivable + Inventories

Cash = 100

Account receivable = 200

Inventories = 200

therefore by putting the values in the above formula, we get

= 100 + 200 + 200

= 500

ΔS = Difference in sales between S0 and S1

S0 = Sales of last year

S1 = Total projected sales for next year

As the Booth Company's sales are forecasted to double from $1,000 in 2016 to $2,000 in 2017 so

ΔS = 2000 - 1000

ΔS = 1000

L = Spontaneous liabilities

Formula for Spontaneous liabilities:

L = Accounts payable + Accruals

therefore by putting the values in the above formula, we get

L = 50 + 50

L = 100

MS1 = Projected net income

RR = Retention Ratio

M = 0.05

RR = 1 - 0.7

RR = 0.3

therefore by putting the values in the above formula, we get

Additional Funds Needed = ( 500 / 1000 ) * 1000 - ( 100 / 1000 ) * 1000 - 0.05 * 2000 * 0.3

Additional Funds Needed = 370

Therefore, Booth's additional funds needed (AFN) for the coming year = 370

lyudmila [28]

Answer:

D. estimate price elasticity of demand by experimenting with different prices.

Explanation:

Price elasticity of demand is an economic concept which is a measure of the sensitivity of customers willingness to buy something to its price. If the customers readily change their buying behavior with a change in price of the product, it would mean that the demand for the product is elastic.

When firms are introducing new products, they generally determine the best selling price by experimenting with different prices and observing the buying behavior of customers. Then the choose the price which produces the maximum amount of revenue for the firm, which entails the price of the product and number of units sold.
