Explanation:

Gross Domestic Products (GDP) is a measure of the total market value of all finished goods and services made within a country during a specific period.

Simply stated, GDP is a measure of the total income of all individuals in an economy and the total expenses incurred on the economy's output of goods and services in a particular country. The Gross Domestic Products (GDP) of a country's economy gives an insight to it's social well-being, these includes;

Real gross domestic product (Real GDP) may be adjusted for price level changes using a price index. This simply means, it is adjusted for inflation to measure the value of goods and services produced by a country in a specific period of time.

Mathematically, Real GDP = \frac {Nominal GDP}{GDP deflator}

1. The GDP deflator for this year is calculated by dividing the value of all goods and services produced in the economy this year using this year's prices by the value of all foods and services produced in the economy this year using the base year's prices and multiplying by 100.

However, the CPI reflects only the prices of all goods and services bought by consumers.

Radar Company sells bikes for $490 each. The company currently sells 4,300 bikes per year and could make as many as 4,620 bikes
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

Radar's additional income for accepting the order is calculated as follows:

Sales - 320 x $460 = $147,200

less Cost of Sales = 320 x $180 + $48,000 = $105,600

Additional Income = $41,600

Explanation:

The additional income of $41,600 is $147,200 - $105,600, which is the result of deducting cost of sales from Sales.

The cost of sales includes the variable cost per bike, including the incremental fixed costs ($48,000) to make this order.

To make a decision whether to accept an order or not, the company needs to consider all variable costs, including the incremental fixed costs.  The resulting additional income is what is available to offset the fixed costs.

olasank [31]

Answer: b. The quantity of the country's currency supplied exceeds the quantity demanded.

Explanation:

A country operating a fixed-exchange rate system would be actively trading its currency to ensure that it remains at a certain rate. If the currency is overvalued, it means that the currency is actually weak and is being propped up by the company's actions in the forex market.

A reason for the weakness would be that the supply is higher than the demand of the currency which means that, as per the rules of supply and demand, the currency is trading at a lower price, i,e., it is weak.
